Saying HELLO To Our Future And To Our Checkbook


Da Da Da Dahhhh!!! It is official. Steve and I signed away life and limb and the future of our children last week. And I am here to announce, on the record, that we are building a house. Woo Hoo! It is something Steve has always wanted to do, to design and oversee the construction of his own home. We have been dreaming about it for years, and now here we are. On the cusp of our future. The jumping off point. We spent months looking and looking for the perfect place to plant our family for the rest of our lives. And we weren't having any luck. Then we talked to the kids and decided that we were going to fast and pray to find the right place. We gave the kids the option of fasting and they all opted in favor. That very day we found our little slice of Heaven right here on Earth. We have had the property on hold for a few months now and our financing just came through last week. So we are now the official owners of that little piece of land that will grow our family. Steve has designed us a wonderful home and we can't wait to start building. Only we have no choice but to wait. It is a brand new phase of a new subdivision and they are still putting in all the "stuff" that they have to put in before we can build. But hopefully sometime in the next few months we will get to BREAK ground and be that much closer to our dream.
