Today Dan and I had our final pre-construction meeting with our builder. This is the meeting where they show you all your final blueprints and go through all the fine print about building a house. You have to initial about 1,000 things and give them 3% of the total cost of your house. It was a shock to write a check for that amount of money, and it's even scarier to think about how much more we have to save before we close in 3.5 months.
I'm excited, and nervous. I wish this wasn't going to be such a struggle, but, as they say, "if it were easy, everyone would do it". I don't mean, build a house, what I really mean is take a risk. Dan and I have taken some major risks with our lives and I just hope and pray this one works out. We are certainly feeling the excitement at the hope that it will, but the sting of past risks gone bad is still very fresh...
Nevertheless, today is about hope, about excitement and about another start in our life together. We should break ground before the end of the month - I'll post pictures on that blessed day!
