House momentum...

Alright - a new picture of house movement. These are nudura walls and are filled with concrete when finished. They are currently 4.5ft high and will be 9ft high by weds. You can see a garage door to the left and a patio door in the middle with two windows on the side. This is going to be the basement. It will be roughly 1200 sqft of space. Then once it's filled and finished...the framing begins! Then the next 2 stories and the garage etc will begin. Cool. It is going to be 2002 sqft then however much of the 1200 sqft of the basement we decide to finish. Anyhoo...here's a pic of the current progress...

kel!! he doesn't know about that yet- shush!
I read the torn post, tried to comment on the altered version but i was having problems. i was all like go for #2 the whole time- until i read the little snippet about significant other...and now i totally don't know. building and buying houses makes it a bit more difficult, i'm sure- but I also saw your reaction when we talked about it in January, and I know it's been REALLY hard on you soooo- I don't know...

Tonya, thanks for thinking of me, in reference to Tim’s torn post. Really, this is a hard one for me. And, I know you totally can relate! Tim’s post wasn’t very detailed for obvious reasons and the part concerning me was way vague but he was trying to protect me and my feelings. The question is…What do you do when you want the best for your husband and that best could possibly stink for you? I know your answer, I have seen you live it. It isn’t all about the possible move, unfortunately. However that does play a part even though a move may not even be necessary. It is the chance that haunts me. For two reasons the biggest one being the feeling that God has walked with us and brought us here to the street I have wanted to live on since the first time I wandered down it. And the fact that we have poured ourselves into building this house and now we could be building it for someone else. That thought is heart breaking. And knowing heart break isn’t outside of God’s will, if # 2 comes to fruition I will be left to contemplate loosing what has been such a blessing this past year. And, going somewhere not far but not appealing. I know we shouldn’t hold onto things in this life to tightly and possibly this is just a great reminder of that.
And, I can’t help but think if this came up this time last year it wouldn’t have been as difficult for me. At that time we were wanting to move from our house anyway, and Luke wasn’t in school so our kids wouldn’t have been nearly as affected. Like I said there is more to this situation than what I have just went on about but this is what I am free to blog about. The rest of the story is complex but the great thing is it has opened up some doors of dialogue for Tim and I so that has been good. I look forward to your visit and your wisdom. : )
