It has been a long process and I'm pleased to announce we are making progress! Because of the stressful situation it has been we have definitely kept it quiet, but we are making good forward tracks and so I'm pleased to announce that we are building our very first home! We will be purchasing Jon's parents old property (also where he grew up) which is just shy of 4 acres, and absolutely beautiful! Our home will be 2 stories, 1200sq per floor, and I am sooo excited for some more room. We have severly outgrown our apartment and I can't wait for our home to be finished...a place to truly call home! I am sooo proud of my husband and the hard work he puts in, he will be building our home himself, with the help of family and friends! I am grateful to have a husband who works so hard, and knows what he's doing and how to get it done!
To explain some of the pictures: It was a tricky process, but we are building our home where an office used to be located. We are completely tearing down the office (and only leaving a bathroom), and rebuilding our home on that slab, plus another 6' off the front and 14' off the side. The pictures show the office (or what used to be the office), and you can kind of see the slab we added. I hope you Enjoy!!!
Andrew was GREAT! He sat in the back of my dads truck for a while and just watched.

About to tear the roof off! Jon's dad drove the back hoe onto the foundation and lifted and tore it right off!
The roof is off, now time to clean up - we are making good progress, but still have lots to do!
