January 2010 and Lake Bonney Home05 Jan 2010 04:41 pm

I was reminiscing today about how far we’ve come on our new house in 448 days since we broke ground on October 14th 2008 at 6:49 am.  I wouldn’t actually know this information off hand except for the date stamp on the picture that Ben took of the first scoop of earth.  I remember Ben calling me at work with a “play by play” as the machine dipped over and over again into our rocky ground with so little effort.

Breaking Ground

The first scoop of earth on 10/14/2008 6:49 am

I realize that you probably visited my website today to see some new photos to ring in the New Year but I thought it would be more fitting to take a step back and be thankful for a moment.   I tend to get so wrapped up with what needs to be done today and worried about what will happen tomorrow until I stop myself to reflect.  We have come so far on this amazing this journey and I must thank Ben & David and all of our friends and family for coming along for the ride of our lives!  Thank you.     

I will post some new photos tomorrow… I promise :0)
