Welcome!

Hello and welcome!  My husband Steve and I are in the very beginning stages of building our house.  From scratch! We are very excited about this adventure, and started this blog so that we can share our excitement and progress with our family and friends who are miles and miles away.

We currently live in Evans GA, and we while we like it here, we came across an opportunity to build a house that seemed too good to pass up.  So far, we have picked out our lot, decided on the floor plans, picked out our top 3 brick preferences, and decided on our kitchen appliances. So many choices, but we know there will dozens more to make in the next 4 months!

Our new home will be in Appling GA (AKA out in the country!) on 3 acres of wooded land, with a wee bit of wetlands in the very back corner of the property. We went to check out the land a few weekends ago, and happened to see a baby deer!  That was a wonderful moment for me.  I just hope our furry friends don't hinder our plans for a veggie garden in the future!

Our builder told us the land clearing would probably start late this week.  Steve drove by today on his way home from work and, sure enough, our land has been cleared so the building can begin! We have specifically asked to keep as many of the trees as possible, and it looks like they've done a good job of that.

We promise a lot of pictures as progress is made. Stay tuned!
