Moving..

We have been working and planning for about 3 years now towards the goal of building our little dream house after we found the PERFECT lot in the PERFECT neighborhood with PERFECT neighbors (You know who you ;) ;) Love you all!)
We are trying to do owner-builder which has been proving to be rather difficult since the banks want you to give up your first born to get a loan (We'll miss you Jack!;))
Seriously though after talking with banks we were humbled yet AGAIN and have to decided to live with my parents while we build instead of rent while we build. So, we moved out of our townhouse this weekend and into my parents house. I thought because the townhouse was only 1100 sq. ft. or so it would be a rather easy task. But I was wrong. I forgot how much work moving is!! Most of our possessions are now BACK in storage and will stay that way while we build our house.
I am soo excited to be building this year though! We are still hoping everything will work out... after last year we definitely know that life will throw at you whatever it wants and doesn't even take into consideration YOUR plans?!?!
We are doing good. Feeling really blessed to have such wonderful and helpful family and friends who have helped us immensely in so many ways recently.
Today was sunny and beautiful and the boys are ready to play outside 24/7!! They LOVE grandmas huge yard, deck, trampoline, etc.
We are so ready for summer!!
