I can’t believe we’re already celebrating three years in the home we built. While I knew that this home would be special to us, a house we knew we’d grow into, at the time I didn’t realize just how special it would become. It’s always been the place we’d bring our kiddos home from the [...]

House Building: Paint Color Selections & Upgrades
We're 39 days from closing on the new house. We're so close, yet it feels like move-in day is still so far away - mostly because Eric and I are anxious and excited to get settled into our new home. If you recall, we started this process right before Christmas 2017. It's been about a [...]
House Building: 65 Days Until Closing
It's crazy to see how quickly things are coming together!

Holy Concrete
In the last house post, I mentioned the builders needed to pier the property due to the soil composition of the land. Over the last week or so, they were able to finish that up and pour the concrete for the foundation. It's starting to sink in that this project is coming along, especially now that [...]
New House Pre-Construction Meeting
When we signed the contract to start building the new house our real estate agent, Dan O'Dell, told us to prepare to feel like a lot of nothing was happening for a while. He said that we would likely drive by our plot often and see the same dirt in the same place for a [...]
