Our goal when we started building our house was to be in by Labor day this year, and by golly we made it! We started this process on March 1, 2010 and were moving in the first of part of this September - It took us exactly 6 months! We feel we made such progress in these past 6 months - a lot of hard work my husband and many others have put into it. Jason was just saying the other day how he wished he would have kept track of how many hours he put into working on it. Last Friday, we were able to get all of our big furniture moved into the house with the help of Jason's good buddy, Harry. By noon they had everything in the house. My folks and Kalee were here all weekend helping us get everything cleaned, unpacked, and somewhat settled - Life savers!! So we have been in a little over a week, still seems sooo weird that the time is actually here. We are still getting settled in, still have lots of totes to unpack. Hopefully by the time the baby comes, I will have everything unpacked and ready to go! We still have a few minor touches left to finish - I'm sure they will be some fall projects awaiting. Right now, Jason is eager to get our yard seeded down for this fall. We're hoping the weather cooperates.
We feel so lucky to have this new home to start our family in! Sometimes we even feel guilty to a sense that we have such a beautiful acreage and location to live on, let alone a brand new home. I am very proud of my husband and thankful for all his determination throughout these past 6 months! We have had numerous individuals assist in making this effort a success, and thank them all so much - hopefully we can repay them some day! I will post some pictures of our home as soon as we get a little more settled.
Lexee and Lyzee have had quite an adjustment with the move as well. Unfortunately, they will not be living in the new house with us; but at the moment do have the run of our old house and shed. We have been letting them run loose outside throughout the day as well, so far no problems!
Here is Kalee helping put my dishes in the cabinets. She is returning the favor!
