Home Sweet Home Part 1

As some of you are aware Justin & I are building our dream home. This has been the biggest challenge of our entire marriage. As two young adults I don't think we really knew what we we're getting ourselves into when we signed our contract. From arguments about being over budget to the simplest things as a cabinet style we've faced them all. It really has shown us how strong our relationship is to go through all these difficult and life changing tasks.

We signed our contract in March and since then things have really progressed. After looking at a hole in the ground and a lot of dirt we finally have what appears to be the house we've always drempt about.
April 15, 2010 - First /day of construction.

May 26, 2010 - Daddy & Morgan in what will be our basement.
 
June 17, 2010 - Frame work has started.

June 29, 2010 - Framing for the 2nd floor.

June 30, 2010 - That's a really big house.

July 14, 2010 - Starting to take shape!
August 25, 2010 - First day of brick!!!
Everyday we are amazed at how much the house is coming together. I will try to keep you updated on the process as impatient as it is. I'm so excited just thinking that in less than 6 months this will be our new home!

A Bunch Of Beach Bums

On Thursday the Havens family loaded up in Grandma's Expediton and headed towards Myrtle Beach, SC. It was Morgan's first trip to visit "Big Water" and we we're so excited! This is just a few pictures of our trip. Please enjoy but understand that my family is far from bathing suit material. We are the average family type! :)

My First Blog!

Hello Everyone!
This will be my first time ever blogging! Please hang in there while I get the hang of this! I have some pretty cool friends to help me get started!

Since this is my first blog I thought I would dedicate it to what Morgan did today! We took her to visit family & she played with her Trike! She doesn't really understand how to petal just yet so she had to be pushed around a lot! Either way we enjoyed the nice fall weather and she had fun playing with her cousins.

She loves to be one of the "Big Girls"
Doing it by herself!!!
Showing off for the family!
