We started building our forever home when I was 8 months pregnant. My husband spent every possible minute that he had last summer cutting down trees and clearing a lot. This year he has worked non-stop building, and he has missed big stuff.

He has sacrificed so much free time to complete this house for us. He’s missed steps, words, snuggles and tantrums. He has hurried home from work to tuck our boy in before heading to work on the house until late in the evening.

We are pushing to be moved in this weekend 😳 it feels so surreal to be at the finish line for this huge project.

Jack has been “helping” with the finishing touches and cleaning- let me tell you – It is not easy to work on a house with a toddler. He is wild and attention-seeking and he can somehow climb ladders now….terrifying.

Just thought that I would drop some appreciation for my wonderful husband and for my cool kid. We are very much looking forward to some down time together.

I cannot wait to live here forever.
