OUR HOUSE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

The kids excited for our future house.

This is our lot before anything was done.

The last few months have just flown by since I initially posted about us moving.  Our move from our town house went so well.  We have so many great friends and family that helped us.  We are truly so blessed. The builder we chose to build with is called Sweet Water Homes.  The owner is Richie McDonald.  We just loved some of the homes we went through that they built, and decided that's who we wanted building our home.  We had our pre-construction meeting January 18.  It was really a great experience.  On February 2, they started to dig our hole.  I, unfortunately don't have a picture because when I went to take the picture, my camera battery was dead.  So I thought I would just come the next day.  Well, they work so fast, that this is what we came to the next day.

Everything seems to be happening so fast.  It's all just so new, and so exciting.  I have never seen a home being built from start to finish before, and it really is so much fun.  In the meantime, we are painting the rental that we are in.  So we are keeping busy, and we know time will go by super fast.  It already has.  We've almost lived in the rental for one month.  Where has time gone?  We're so glad though that our builder is so on top of everything, and so organized, that he has all his people scheduled everyday until it's done.  We were initially given a date of March 31.  But we got pushed back 2 weeks, on our end.  

It still feels surreal.  I mean, we looked at homes for the last 6 years.  So we really feel so blessed that we are building a house that we can design to fit our needs, and that we hope to live in for the next 15 or so years.
