Our little piece of country

In 2007 Mr. C and I discoved this piece of ground that his uncle was selling. We fell in love with the property and knew we couldn't pass it up. However I was not ready to build a house because I did not want to make that commitment without having a ring on my finger. So we negotiated a deed of contract with his uncle for the lot only until we were ready to build. We did a lot of work to the property that fall, there was an old foundation where our house sits now, a chain link fence, lots more trees, etc. I don't have a picture from before we started working on the lot. Well after we got engaged, it was time to start the house. 2008 was a busy year, planning a wedding and building a house... we started the house mid-spring and moved into it Oct. 31st. Although we didn't officially own it until almost a year later. That is another story that I would really rather forget. Mr. C works construction so he did as much as he could do to help us out. Some people say they hate building and others love it, and I am one of those that love it!!! I had so much fun & won't do it any other way.

Our home sweet home!!


We love living on 3 1/2 acres and being able to see various wildlife out our back door and the convience of still only being 5 minutes from town.
