Our Forever Home

It finally happened. We tore down the old house that sat on the land we purchased in December and we are going to start building our forever home. This is the house that our kids will grow up in and where most of their childhood memories will take place. It seems surreal. It's taken over a year to get to this place and will likely take another nine months (or so) until we have a home to live in, but what an adventure it will be!
