We have always been pretty ambitous risk-takers but it came to a dramatic climax this year at the end of March. After much dicussion between us we decided to make an offer on some land with the intention of building a house. Not really believing that the offer would be accepted we didn't set our hopes too high. So imagine our surprise when 2 days later it was accepted and then...surprise 30 minutes later I found out I was pregnant after nearly 2 years of infertility. A miracle in EVERY way! So it was by contract that we put our house up for sale just 2 days later. Amidst the effects of a recession, miraculously in just 2 months we sold our home(the one we built together just 5 years eariler). Amazing! So morning sickness aside we started packing. In July we moved into a house that we intended on renting till our house was finished however a few weeks after we moved in.....it went up for sale and was SOLD! So here we are again....moving. Next week in fact! See I told you it was a blur...and this is the short version!
My husband....being the go-getter in our family, is taking on the task of building this house. Yes you read that correctly! He is doing most of the work himself, contracting all of it and we plan to finish this little endeavor sometime next spring. It has been quite the experience and one that, Lord willing we will hopefully not be repeating!
At 28 weeks pregnant I am dealing with.....well you can probably just imagine!
All things aside - At the end of the day, we just feel happy to be together, no matter where we are! We feel incrediably blessed to be traveling down this road - hard as it may be at times, and it is, I can't imagine life any other way right now! Watch as we try to navigate our way through this incredible journey!
