Groundbreaking News

On Monday February 10th we broke ground for the new house. 

Back in our old subdivision, 1 house away from our old house.

We couldn't be happier. 

It wasn't where planned on going, and it isn't what we planned on building. But things don't always work out as planned, and we are perfectly fine with that.

After two lots ready to be bought, and then taken away due to circumstances out of our control.

Tears, stress, more crying and decisions. 

Months later, this lot made sense.

And the house plan made sense too.

It doesn't have a fabric room on the main floor as we planned. With Vince's new business venture we decided to build a regular home and not put money in the fabric business. 

It feels so right. 

We have been waiting for weeks, then it finally warmed up enough for concrete. 20 degrees.

 By Tuesday we had a hole and huge pile of rocks.

And Wednesday we had cement trucks!!!

To say Vince has been busy the last few weeks would be wrong.

He has been CRAZY BUSY!

Such an amazing man. And handsome to boot!
