Things are Coming Together!

I closed on my lot yesterday, met with my builder, we ordered trusses and have started picking things out for my new home. Karter is going to do the digging this coming week and things will start happening fast. I'm getting very excited!

Excited and Scared

Both at the same time. I bought a lot in Burlington today and am going to have a home built on it for Stella and I. I'm nervous about selling my condo. Thankfully I have a pretty savy brother who has agreed to hold my hand during the whole process. I've never done anything like this alone so it's pretty scary!!

I opened my safe today which hasn't been opened since a couple months after Jim died. In it I found 54 mature savings bonds!! Jim used to have one taken out of his check once a month and I had forgotten all about them. I'm taking it as a sign that Jim approves of my decision and I'm going to use the money for window treatments and decorating my new place :)

One More Sleep!

And all my babies will be here!!

Burlington

Still thinking about moving to Burlington. We're talking with a builder now and will be meeting in a couple days so he can present the final numbers. And no, the lot did not get water with the flood! :)
Stella may get her own yard yet!

Happy Happy



My nephew Jason got married just a couple days after the record flooding in Minot. Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase, "Come Hell or high water..."

I am standing with my brother Paul, Jason's dad.
