We built a house!

When Shawn and I got married, we knew we wanted a house that would be "ours". We looked for quite a while and couldn't find just the right one.  We knew when the time was right, the house of our dreams would find us, and it did!  We were looking at some foreclosures and short sales with our real estate agent, and he asked us if we wanted to see his mom's house cuz it sounded just like what we were asking for.  After looking through his mom's house he took us to Hardrock Homes and we toured the model home.  It was close, but not quite right.  We wanted a master bedroom on the main level so when we get old and our knees don't work as well that we wouldn't have to climb any stairs.  We wanted an office for Shawn and a music room for my piano. Hardrock was AWESOME to work with.  They changed the house plan to exactly what we wanted.  So, when people ask us which model we built, we say "The Beagley" cuz there won't be another house built just like ours : )

Time flies when you're having fun!

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post! So many things to catch up on. I started this blog as a way to record the things my family does...for memories sake.  But, life slips away so quickly and before you know it, almost 2 years have passed.  So, the following posts are just a catch up.
