The foundation was going in and Ellen and I wanted to put something in the concrete walls to celebrate our families. We had a fun morning running around the house deciding what to put in our little time capsule. The most fun was actually finding what we were going to use as a capsule. I found a 1967 silver cigarette box golf "trophy" of my mothers and it was perfect. 
We proceeded to fill it with a zip drive full of family photos, some actual photographic prints, coins from our travels around the world, a music CD, wedding momentos, a leaf from our current yard, a candle, some "passion" tea, a tweaker, my parent's 50th wedding anniversary announcment, etc. etc. 
We watched while it was placed in the wall . In just one week we went from dirt through footers and foundations walls. It is so hard for me to wrap my brain around all these guys working on this all day and its for US! For so long these have been lines on a page and now it is real.
