We Jumped off the cliff!

Something I'm finding out is this - when you decide to build a home, it feels a lot like jumping off a cliff!

We knew the day would come when we would have to actually commit to building our home - officially, with a bank and everything! - and today was the day! We signed the papers at the bank today, and now we are truly committed to building this house! YEAH!!

Of course, we don't have control over everything that comes up, so we are trusting the Lord, our builder, and all the subcontractors that are working on our home to do a great job, and stay in budget! See what I mean by jumping off a cliff?!

Of course, we've selected a great builder, who has done a great job of educating us about building an energy efficient home. We'll even get an energy star rating for our home, before it's all said and done!

I'm having computer issues with getting pictures and video up, but as soon as I get it all worked out, I'll add those, too! I'll write soon about the basement walls going in - it happened in six hours on Wednesday! I'll tell you all about that soon! Come back often to see what's happening with our new home!
