New Home
In September, we finally sold our house!! Yay! We were so thrilled that we were able to move forward with building our home. I was sad to see our home go because we’ve lived there for almost 8 years and also the fact that I brought my babies home there. Our home felt really weird when we moved the last piece of furniture out. It felt so empty and just “not ours” anymore. Sad huh?

As of now, we are living with Troy’s parents while our home is being built. They have a 1 bedroom apartment attached to their house. It’s a bit of a squeeze for us but we’re happy and grateful to be here instead of renting an apartment somewhere else. Just recently, we decided to move from our home ward to Troy’s parent’s ward. I’m happy with the decision because I just felt that staying in our old ward wasn’t right. I didn’t feel at home anymore and I felt that we needed to move forward.

As of right now, we will be breaking ground for our new home next week. The construction time will take 90 days. We are excited to create a home that we already love and to make more memories. We get to choose everything… carpet and tile, to doorknobs and countertops. So far, I’m doing great with the stress level. I think I have a handle on things. I just take one thing at a time. I’m not saying that the process so far hasn’t created tension between Troy and I, because it has. We’ve had some fights here and there but we’re working through it. It’s great… our marriage will strengthen because of this experience.
