A Process

SO we have been planning in our heads for quite some time now to build a home. We have been house hunting for almost two years now. And have gone back and forth on if we want to build. We decided YES but then came the process.

About a year ago we visited our first banks asking for a Idea on a Home Loan we can get. Many Tears and many frustrations came with this process finding out so many rules hold us back since we are Self Employed. Getting told no over and over again and one lady even said "You might never get a loan" We found out later through that process that SHE WAS WRONG... We just needed three full years under our belts of taxes for our company!  Happy Anniversary to us this February!

One of the other first parts of building a home is Finding or Finalizing a floor Plan.  Oh goodness has this but fun yet so discuraging. Mom helped me the very first day cutting out rooms by measuing what we already had and taping them together to make a home. Then we have met with two contractors and an drafting company to try and make it better. Then this Sunday we met with our Friend and Contractor to look at some of his pre excisting floor plans. He had one that was 1539 sq ft. That was pretty close.... so I spent a couple hours scribbling on it and e-mailed that to him this morning. At 11am I got to go pick up the changes!  And We like it!  WE LIKE IT!

We are verry happy about this accomplishment and very thankful that as of this morning building a home feels withen reach!

The Lord has His perfect timing for everything and we pray for His timing in this whole process. Although there might be discouraging parts or tears that fall through this we want to touch the lives of others through the process. And in having a home for our family and friends that God will create in the years to come.
