Dana and I moved from a city we love back to our roots to build the home of our dreams. Over the past 5 years of our marriage, we have bought and flipped 3 houses, and enjoyed every minute of it. Now, we are ready to settle and enjoy raising our kids close to family.

We bought a lot directly behind my sister-inlaw’s house. They are just finishing building their own home. Some may look at it as a bad thing, but personally I am excited that we will have such wonderful neighbours. Our neighbourhood has two young families, and of course our own family in our back yard. To To the right the lot has a beautiful view of the infamous, Giants Head Mountain. When the sun is going down, the mountain seems to glow. To the left we have a beautiful view of a fruit orchard. When I visit the lot now, construction going on all around it, I can see our house standing tall amongst it all. Of course this adventure is just beginning and all we have is a pile of dirt and a dream, but we are excited and feel oh so blessed about this opportunity.

Did I mention that we are building the house ourselves? No crew, no company, no timelines, no deadlines. Just us. And the help of our very generous father-in-law and family.

We are truly blessed to be given such a wonderful family who would help us achieve our dreams. Come along with us as this adventure begins.
