We made it; 355 days it took. Our journey in building has come to an end. The highs and the lows…this has truly been a dream come true. The time up here goes so much slower it seems. Just 10 days ago and it seems like yesterday. Taking in deep breathes of this fresh air and feeling so blessed for our family.
Here is the video that I’ve been working on since day 1. This video has been edited many times, saved and added to, and now the final touches to date.
Once we get through the winter the mud piles around the house will turn into flower beds. The stone driveway will eventually be paved, and our grading company can finally complete grading and seeding the yard. It’s been a really wet year so the soil is just way too damp.
Daniel,
I am in awe of your commitment and hard work to make sure our family has the best life. You set a goal and you achieved it. I know I said it before, but I’ll say it a million more times; I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. We are so lucky to share this life with you. Your balance between your company, building this house, and spending time with us hasn’t been easy and I hope you feel our gratefulness of your determination.
You sacrificed so much for this. A half hour a day spent with Danny will be no longer. Working from 6 am-7:30 pm, putting Danny to sleep and heading back out to this house to do work will be no longer. YOU frigging did it.
I know you say without me you wouldn’t be half the man you are today; or even half of your success and drive. That right there just beams the humbleness in your heart. One of the many reasons I am deeply in love with you is how humble you are. Successful but not flashy. You are the epitome of class.
I know I told you this time and time again but thank you for taking care of us. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and mostly your unconditional love. This year has been a rough road to say the least but again I know I told you before but I feel more in love with you than I have ever felt before. My soulmate. My completion.
Everyday spent with you is the best memory of my life.
Love you… now let’s make these memories!!!
We still have lots of little things to do interior wise but at this point we are in no rush. We are here! Touch up’s galore but that’s okay. Once we have the interior of our house situated I will post interior photo’s. But as of now we are still semi living out of boxes and we have a lot of room’s to fill.
We are waking up every morning surrounded by the wilderness. It’s been amazing. The first two nights up here were hard for me personally to sleep. The silence is so loud that every noise I heard I shot up from bed, “What was that?” HA! But it’s been much better! I thought sleeping on the first floor and Danny on the second would be frightening for me, surprisingly, it has not. Also, Daniel has been waking up so much easier for work. He comes home and doesn’t look ran down, instead he’s glowing in happiness.
I’m soaking in every day spent outdoors with Danny until he goes to his new school. We haven’t yet toured a school but will be doing so within the next week or so. I wanted to make sure I felt that Danny was comfortable at our new home and understood we will now always be coming back here. I feel like we are ready.
Since the majority of the house is finished, It might be awhile until I blog again. I don’t want to rush the interior decorating. I will soon start on other topics on this blog such as family recipes, maybe even a backyard wedding planning section 🙂 and whatever else comes my way once the time comes. But to all who have been following, your words of encouragement, wishes, and support mean so much to us. To our family and friends who helped us move, we wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. God Bless you ALL.
