On September 21, 2020, with approved permits in hand, we were finally able to break ground on our forever home. It had been a long time coming since we sold our first house in the spring of 2018. We had no idea it would take us over two years before we would start construction on the next house, but I am a believer that most things happen for a reason. As frustrating such a delay had been, if we had pushed forward in 2018 just for the sake of moving on, we would have missed out on our dream property and finding the perfect house for us to build.
