We Kept Another Secret…..

I know my posts get boring when I’m keeping secrets. I apologize for that, but if you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense! When I can’t tell you what I’m doing all day, its hard to recap it for you beyond “we ran errands” or “we’re all super tired.” Both statements are true, of course, and I have NEVER flat out lied on here. I’ve just been vague, but I probably don’t have to tell you that.

All of that said, I’m incredibly impatient in this case and its about time I shared our news! My gosh, tis the time of life for NEWS! First the house sale, and the pregnancy, and now this!!!

Our home build is ON!!!

We took the kids to our lot for a bit of a family “ground breaking,” so to speak, before the diggers get their crack at it. My mom was more than willing to come and take pictures of us while we did so. It was a funny but incredible celebration. We like to do things our own strange way πŸ™‚

So this should shed some light on the last few “boring” weeks we’ve had. We have been going to meetings, signing a lot of big, scary documents, learning the ropes and details of a build, the list goes on. The best part so far has obviously been choosing all of the details that our home will be made up of. Flooring, lights, cabinets, appliances, etc. Lots to decide, and a lot of work, but SUCH exciting work! On nights where we need an outing, we just go wander home stores and dream. But the dreams are very different now. Less “one day” ish and much more “Is this truly what we want?” ish. Its been a complete blast!!! I’ll show you pictures of that another night soon, because we have a decent amount of pictures from the last little while that I’ve had to keep from everyone, but that’ll work for another day.

Today, we broke ground. Hopefully the contractors aren’t too far behind! Though I doubt they’ll be as cute as our little diggers.DSC_0162

Boy, so are we!!! The one big pro that came with waiting is that we’ve been able to see which ideas come and go, so hopefully we’ll love our choices for a long long time! Welcome back to chilly Sask, Nikki πŸ™‚

Wonderful, I know your hearts have been ready for this for long enough. I love your sod-turning ceremony, too. Not many people have BOTH a staff of gorgeous performers AND a resident professional photographer!
That close-up of Dek/Laela is stunning (is that not a mini-Caity???) God bless every step of this adventure and keep your little family close to Him.
