Blessed!

Wow!  We are so blessed to be building a house on the farm we love.  Knowing that my grandparents lived here and raised their family, as well as loved the land as we have and that my mother and father have worked tirelessly to enhance the farm's legacy through conservation and good farming practices makes it even more special that we have been given the precious opportunity to raise our sweet boy here.  Thank you mom and dad! 

I lived quite a few places directly after high school including dorms, apartments and two other family farms.  When I moved into our current home, which is my grandparent's home, I swore I would never move again!  Now that we are building a house.....I am wondering if moving back the lane counts, technically, as moving.  I despise eating my own words....they taste terrible : )

It has been an interesting journey to this point.  It took me years and years to get Brian to consider adding on to our current house.  We often laugh at how we began this process by having a builder, who ended up becoming our home builder, come and give us an estimate on adding a room upstairs.  By the end of that conversation, we were considering adding a master bedroom, closet(which we have very little of currently), and an office since I work from home.  At that time, our builder asked why we were not building a new home with all that we were planning for our current home.  Brian and I looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.  So here we are.....the journey begins......
