Ever since Liz and I got engaged, I knew I wanted to buy a house. This year I sold my car and it seemed like our dream was going to come to a reality. We started talking to a realtor and began the search. We found a house we liked pretty soon after we started looking, so we put in an offer and waited anxiously to hear back. We heard back the next day to find out that they not only did not accept our offer, but they decided to take the house off the market altogether! Needless to say, we were pretty dissappointed and definitely bummed. In all of it, I knew God had a better plan for us and I relied fully on that. I originally thought it'd be best to take a break from looking and just chill for a while, but I kept looking and I found a house that I really liked. I showed it to Liz and that same day I was on the phone with our realtor to see if we could check it out. Now the problem was, this house didn't exist yet. It was just a bare lot at this point. So we decided to just build it. It was everything we wanted and we could make it our own from day 1. We wouldn't have to fix anything, repaint anything or do any remodelling. Though the initial negotiation was a little stressful we made it through and now our house has begun!
December 12th will be what I call " day 1" of the build since they actually dug the hole yesterday. I wish I had pictures of that progress, but it was dark last night when we went to see it. Here are pictures of what it started out as and a picture of what it will look like, except the colors will be slightly different.
Stay tuned for more updates in the future. I'll try to get pictures as progress is made. Follow along as our home takes shape!
