We Broke Ground

It's hard to believe in just two short months

this pile of dirt will be our house.

We Matt has spent days (and nights) looking over our blue prints

with help from his parents and our realtor.

Matt looks at blueprints for a living

and his parents have prior experience building

and a good eye for detail.

(Where do you think Matt gets it from?)

We are in pretty good hands.

It has been such a great experience.

We are very excited to witness and document

each step in the process.

I snuck a picture of our builder's tentative timeline

so I would know when everything is happening,

and in what order (tentatively).
