April 2nd, 1999 ~ after the flooring was all put in I told Dennis I was not going back to 'the shop' (our than current home that was built to house standards) He brought 'Alf's' home for dinner that night. We continued that tradition for many years, the last couple of years we have gotten Subway. In the pic - l to r:

Ten years ago we moved into our current house. We moved on to the property Oct. 1996, started building May 1998 and moved ourselves in April 2nd 1999. We did much of the work ourselves. I (Carolyn) can even show you the wall that Dennis' mom and I framed ourselves! :) The goal was not to build our dream house. (still have no clue what that would look like) SPACE was what we were going for - and space we got. We do have some future dreams for some of the open space downstairs. But that is another day (another few dollars!) We have truly been blessed to have this space out in the country to raise our family.
