I thought I'd post a quick note here, for those of you who aren't on my facebook... We are still in Michigan, getting ready to move to Utah, and have decided to build on a lot we found. I'm actually getting excited, I love the location, a cultisac in a little ravine near a stream, with tree forts and an awesome rope swing across the creek, it brings back memories of walking in our Minnesota woods. We were also able to design our own house plans, with some handy features like a laundry chute, drinking fountain, mud room lockers for each kid, homework and bill centers... a mom's dream! This is my photoshopped estimate of how it may look when it's done (photo was originally of a similar model but I've altered it quite a bit).
I am feeling a combination of great gratitude for such a wonderful opportunity, and overwhelming exhaustion from all the stress of designing a house in such short time, while keeping our current house clean for showings and running kids back and forth to about 3-4 after school activities every night, and all this without a hubby to help (he is in Utah already). Running on 4 hours of sleep per night and skipping most meals has become my norm lately... But as I said, I do feel very blessed.
Speaking of sleep, I think I'll try to go catch some while I can... Goodnight all!
