Let the construction begin!


Yes, that's right....we are adding on to "The Shed". For those of you who have not been to our house, we live in a guest home on Adam's parents' property that we have nicknamed "The Shed". Why "The Shed", you ask? Well, it's a big metal building that we've made into a cozy and comfy home. We even have a sign that says, "Welcome to Our Shed".

Here's how the story goes...we sold our home in Mesquite to move closer to the church in Quinlan. Tom and Kay suggested we move in next door to them until we found a house. One year turned into two years and then five, and we never found a house we loved more than "The Shed". (To tell you the truth, we stopped looking quite a while ago!) You can't beat the beautiful surroundings with lots of trees and open space, family close by, and did I mention the exceptional landlords? I can't imagine a better place to raise a child. Now, if we can only get my parents to move further east, we would be set!


So...we are adding a few rooms to "The Shed". Three rooms to be exact. A master bedroom, extra bathroom, and a laundry room. However, we've had SO much rain lately that it has slowed construction quite a bit, so I can't tell you how excited I was to see the concrete truck pull up last week to pour the slab. We are one step closer to our shed makeover!
