Hello!! Well, this has been one whirlwind of a summer! The big news is that we have moved and are now officially living in our FIRST home! The house construction was a big, but rewarding project. We started our construction plans with the architect in January of 2005 and offically moved into the new house on July 27th 2006--that makes 18 months. Also to that number we should add the time it took to reserve and buy the land (which was back in September of 2004). Basically, all in all it took us 22 months door to door. We are happy to say that we are now finally enjoying the fruit of our labor. It is an ideal setting on a cul-de-sac and with a southern exposure facing a protected forest. We really lucked out with this lot. We had been renting here for several years and watched this new development take shape...when we saw that this lot became available we just jumped on it. It was meant to be!
Okay here are a few photos of the process:
This is me right before delivery...the house and the baby were ALMOST ready.
