Not as easy as it looks.

We have truly realized over the past couple of weeks how amazing it is to have the support of our friends and family throughout this process. We are so excited to be able to share this time in our lives and look forward to the memories that will be made now and in the future of this home. We were very excited to have some friends stop in to see us this weekend, Alaina, Robby, Alex and Brittany. Thankful for their encouragement and excitement. I am sure that once we get to the decorating part of our home, we will get some wonderful ideas from Alaina's blog... check it out... recycledinteriors.blogspot.com 

Another week hard at work! Throughout the week the crew worked on finishing up the framing for the first floor and started framing the garage. The trusses were finally delivered at the end of the week and have now been installed on the garage. Will start on the 2nd floor of the house this week!

Over the weekend, the two of us did some more yard work and have the lot pretty well cleared. We used a push behind bush hog to mulch up some of the brush left behind.

Somehow we managed to build another 4 piles of brush! Can you find Matt?

 Here are some pictures of the yard after we finished clearing. It is amazing how much it all opened up once we got all that mess out of there. What a beautiful place. An absolute blessing.

And here are some pics of the house and garage.

 Resting on top of the garage after a long days work! Taking it all in :)
