A long time comin'

Here we are just under two years from our last blogging and what a couple of years it has been!  We are FINALLY ready to build our house!  The first steps toward actual construction took place this morning.  Greg was able to accompany and assist our builder by staking out the foundation. We plan to be as hands on in this process as possible!

See the tiny pink flags?

Also, a sweet little excavator appeared next to the lot.

Digging is supposed to commence on Monday with the foundation complete by the end of the week.  We have changed the plans slightly from what was posted a couple of years ago, though we are still planning on having a 3bed 2.5bath ranch and eventually finishing the basement.  2012 is going to be a fantastic year, though it started out on a pretty great note :-)

  If you're following the process, we'll be updating regularly.  Wish us luck!
