House Update 8-11-09

Some of you might ask, why are you building a house like this? Well, it is our way of building something nice to live in that is affordable so I can stay home with our precious boy! This is so much more important to us than living in the best house on the block! We have worked really hard to get where we are financially so I can stay home. I know it isn't for everyone, but I am truly blessed and honored to have the title of "Stay At Home Mom"! I couldn't be more proud!

Finally a house update!

Since the last update, we now have interior walls, electric and telephone run, plumbing, ac/heating duct work, garage door, and even a new driveway! Exciting stuff!

Here is the outside completed...

Yes, that is our travel trailer! I wish we got to enjoy it more! I will post soon about our 1 night camping trip with Mr. Hayden! We do take it to the deer lease and enjoy it half the year there!

The garage...

It is a one car garage which will also house our washer and dryer. The whole upstairs above our house will be storage/attic! YEA! Between holiday decor, teaching stuff, assistant principal stuff, and other misc. stuff we have collected, I am sure it won't take long to fill it up!

Looking into the kitchen area from our dining area and out the back door...

Looking from garage into the rest of the house (living room, Hayden's room, bathroom, and two closets. Hidden behind the bathroom is our bedroom and my closet.)

I know it is really hard to tell anything about anything right now. Hopefully before long, we will have our walls completed and it will start to look like a real house!!

View off our back porch...

We are so excited about our back porch! It is so peaceful and often times there is a nice breeze. We can't wait to spend time out there watching Hayden play! Jeff already has the perfect spot picked out for Hayden's Ark/Pirate Ship he wants to build!

I'm so excited for you. The house is really coming along! The view off the back porch is awesome, and you will get to use that camper more often (especially when we all load up for a trip to OK)
