Fun Weekend

Today we will be reviewing the final floor plan for our home! We'll also be meeting with our design professional (Julie) to select exterior colors & fixtures. We have a three-ring binder filled with design/color ideas, so we're excited to see our design vision become reality!

The only downside to our move is we currently live across the street from the BEST neighbors/friends, James & Ashley. We will definitely miss being able to simply walk across the street for our weekend get-togethers. The good news is we're only moving a mile or two away so we'll still be close! Last night they came over for dinner and brought us a bottle of wine with a tag that said, "get in to the SPIRIT of home building" (so creative) and a plate filled with homemade sugar cookies (so yummy). Ashley is in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy and we have a little joke about baby monitors. They're going to have a baby monitor in their home so they can hear when Carson is crying and we were going to have a monitor in our home so we could run across the street to help if THEY were crying! :) The search is on for long-distance baby monitors!

Follow us on our journey

We are ecstatic to share the news we are building a new home!

Many of you know we've been thinking about moving, but the plan was to move in 2012. Well, that all changed this past weekend when we were offered a deal even Josh couldn't pass up! So, we signed our lives away on Valentine's Day and will be breaking ground on our new home very soon.

Many of you also know we will not be having kids. This home will be our labor of love!

We're moving to a new community called Spirit of Brandtjen Farms in Lakeville, MN. We love the feel of this community! You can check it out at : http://www.homesofspirit.com/

We hope you will join us on our journey of building the home of our dreams.
