Almost one year later...

And we have finally received approval to build!

In November 2006, I closed on the land, and now here in August 2007 our construction permit has been issued, and we have been cleared to well...begin clearing the land and start building! This has been a crazy 9 months for me, filled with many mixed emotions: doubt and hope; and fear and joy. There were many times when I questioned whether or not this would actually happen, and along the way I tried to never lose faith that my land would one day become a house, which would then become my home.

Well, I've cleared the first hurdle, and now I have to finish the race!
