construction begins

 Thursday was a very exciting day for our family.  It took us a long time to feel comfortable building again.  Then it took us a long time to find a house plan that we really wanted to build.  Then it took a long time for the bank to finish the paperwork.  Then the weather didn't want to cooperate.  On Thursday, the tractors showed up and as of today the footings are completely done and it is ready to be blocked.

 I was surprised just how excited the girls were.  I wasn't really sure they cared that much but now that it is really happening they keep asking to go see where they are working (previously they would moan every time we would stop by the land) and they keep saying they are excited to see the house when it's finished.  We have been picking things out for the last few weeks and we are so happy to officially feel like we have a home here and that we are really invested in our town.  It's a very exciting time and we feel very, very blessed to have the opportunity to build again.
