It’s Happening~

We made settlement!

Four months later we finally have our forever. During these past four months of going through approvals, appraisals and so on, Daniel was able to establish a good relationship with the owner. He met Daniel on the lot one day to even walk him around. He gave us a referral to a civil engineer who already knew the property well. That was important to us because we are cutting close to winter time and need to get started immediately. During this time, Daniel was meeting several people up there so we had a few estimates to work with once we signed.

So we can officially say it’s the start of this wild and crazy journey ahead. It was the last hot day of 2017. Settlement was schedule for mid- afternoon. It took about 30 minutes! After settlement Daniel and I took a ride to celebrate on our land. We took pictures, popped some champagne, and Dan shot his gun. Visit my Instagram page @memorydowngreenlane for a short video clip. It sure was a day we will never forget. The second most best day of our lives to date.

 

To my dearest Daniel,

I wanted to say Thank you. If it wasn’t for your hard work and determination we would not be here today. Always reminding me that “this will pass” and we will have our time. Never doubting yourself and always staying self motivated. You inspire the people around you. I’ve seen it myself. You are a great mentor and a true best friend to me. Your authentic with your work and I couldn’t be more proud to stand behind you.

It was hard going to family functions, reunions, birthday parties, and even just being alone on the weekends without you. It was even harder to explain to family and friends where you were. Most of the time I was explaining and I didn’t even understand it myself. But you, you knew what you were doing. You were waking up every morning, lacing those boots at 6 am, all for our family’s future. Your 100+ hour work weeks for the last 10 years have paid off for you.

You are remarkable Daniel. I am blessed and utterly fortunate to have found you in life. You have taught me so much about life, people and most importantly myself. I commend you for always staying true to who you are. I can’t say enough of how proud I am of you. It must be the best feeling to have defeated anyone in your past who told you that you would be no one. To Danny and me, your our everything. I love you so much. I can’t wait for forever.

Since making settlement, Daniel was able to spread some millings out to fabricate our driveway. We made a family day of it. Our nephew, Jordan, helped load the equipment on the trucks and headed towards the lot with Daniel early in the morning. Danny and I came later on that morning to bring lunch. We had lots of fun watching the boys work, throwing rocks, and blowing bubbles!

We have our septic and final floor plans. We should be getting our civil plans by the end of the week so we can submit to the township! Stay tuned for some before and after shots!

Thank you for reading!

With Extra LOVE,
