This is what our entry way is looking like these days... Life has changed.
My favorite conversation thus far happened last night. Rob and I walked by a small barber shop with a large sign in the window that said "$8 haircuts". Rob, with a mop on his head, thought he had stumbled upon a gold mine- so we stepped inside. There was a little old man sitting on a chair with his feet up reading the paper. As we walked in he slowly turned to look at us, smiled very wide and said "hello folks". After talking for a while about if the haircuts were actually only $8 and finding out that they were in fact $8 and- 'had we come in last week' would have been $5- Rob sat down in this little old man's chair for a cut. It was the three of us in a tiny barber shop with a 74 year old man and a very curious husband. The conversation that followed was one for the books.
Barber: So, what are you here for, the money?
Rob: No, actually I work for JLG Architects and we are starting an office downtown.
Barber: For who?
Rob: JLG Architects.
Barber: What's that?
Rob: We're an architecture firm that just moved to town. We have offices all over the state of North Dakota.
Barber (with a very perplexed look on his face): You mean... like... buildings?
It was all I could do to keep from laughing at this adorable old man who apparently was completely clueless about what an architecture firm is.
