Back in 2017 we bought the property highlighted white in hopes that one day we would build our dream home. We bought almost 8 acres that sits next to the property that Mark & Maggie and John & Joann bought. All together we have around 40 acres. In the middle of the picture you can see where Mark & Maggie started building what will eventually be John & Joann's house. Mark & Maggie will build at the bottom left corner at the end of that gravel drive.
March 10th we broke ground! We bought our house plans for our 11th wedding anniversary back in August 2020 and starting getting all our contacts together, bids and started lining things up.
