A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.

Broady and I started house hunting a while back, but we couldn't find anything that suited us, whether it be location, size, price, whatever. Nothing felt like home...imagine me being picky ;) We then turned our eyes towards land-hunting. We found 2.2ish acres just out Scottsville Road less than 10 miles from Bowling Green.

(This is what the land looked like the day we finally found it! No leaves on the trees!)

Hmm...we loved it! Of course, it had to meet the approval of all our important people (moms, dads, and grandparents!) With everyone's approval and tons of guidance from our family, we made an offer and closed on our 2.2 acres of dirt! It was OURS! (Well, technically the deed's in my name, but still it's OURS!)

We then moved on to our next big adventure...picking a house builder! After narrowing down the options, gathering bids based on house plans that took forever and a day to decide upon, and tennis-match negotiation, we made a choice!!

Rick Noall, come on down!! You're the next contestant on the "Make Haven Porter Happy! show" (That's kind of a big deal...Jeremy Broady is the all-time reigning champ!) Here's how the land looked soon after we closed!

Yay trees with leaves!!

We have since broke ground on our house!! I promised to update at each stage...I even have the coolest idea for a picture each day that makes it look like our house is just sprouting out of the ground!! Stay tuned!!
