The Construction Begins...

Construction. That word that has been synonymous with "life" for the past 5 years. Dust, drywall, sawdust, tarps. These are as close to our heart as beef roast, couch, snuggles, and card games are to other families. 

I don't think we had a true picture of what our lives would be like when, in June 2008, we took a giant leap and bought the house next to my parents. Rich wanted a move-in ready house, I wanted the house close to my parents. So... when the house next door came up for sale we went to look, said "too small, too dark, don't like it at all, let's buy it." Uncle Tim assured us it could be a pretty ok house with his and the rest of the family's help. Five years later we have the end of the project in sight and the help we have had from family and friends is both unimaginable and overwhelming.
