Our New House!

We have about a year left here in North Carolina and then it's off to Kansas to live in a quiet, non-stoplight, post office and grocery store within a couple of minutes, sweet little town.   I sometimes wonder if I can make it a year here, but thankfully we have a summer full of multiple beaches that aren't far from us to help pass the time.   AND, we have a house to move, and remodel.  Well, we don't get to take part in much of that, but are so happy that we get to be apart of it from afar.  I love the picture texts and the phone calls with options that we get from my parents, and I'm so grateful and appreciative that I have hard working parents that are excited to take on this project as much as we are.   I'm planning on blogging from the beginning to the end of this whole project and looking forward to seeing the finished project, which in our mind is looking gorgeous!

 A little background.  Last year, my parents, Jason and Jayme moved a house from the country, gutted it, and remodeled it to what they envisioned it to look like and the finished project is amazing.  Really.  Amazing!  So we are going to do the same.

Chris and I had plans on building a house, but the opportunity came up to move a house in, and the house fit what I've been envisioning my house to look like ever since we have been married.  Everything fit together like a puzzle.  Perfect house, perfect location (down the street from a park, the pool, and the ball fields) My dad's envisions fit our envisions, so he's the perfect one to help us and we're thankful that he knows what he is doing and is just as excited as we are!  Chris and I can't wait to get back in July and start knocking out walls and helping with whatever we can help with.

The house hasn't been moved yet, but the basement is almost done!

 We had thought that the basement would be dug by the time we were home, but mother nature ruined those plans....and I'm glad she did, because I love this "before" picture..  This is where our house will be.  Love the view that we will have from our backyard.

 Cement being poured!  Exciting!

We have basement walls!  This is Mason's future room and Channing's (years from now) room!

 Our CUTE hard workers!  ;)

They were actually helping Jackson and his friend build a fort.  So adorable!
