Walk in the Woods

On Christmas day, we walked through the woods on the land that we own.  This land is where we hope to build our forever home. 

We won't start building this year, but the closer it gets to becoming a reality the more I realize that we need to start seriously planning.  Just recently I was talking to someone about getting dirt work done for the site and pad for the house.  They were telling me that it's really important to prepare the pad and let it set.  I'm not sure the time frame that it should set, but I know that it's good for the foundation if you do.  Again, it takes planning to get things like this in order. 

Mark and I are excited and overwhelmed with all of the decisions we will be making. 

Right now since it's not in the near future, we're enjoying walking through the woods and dreaming about our forever home.

Through this clearing is where I'd like our private driveway.  It's secluded and I love the way the trees frame the path.

On the path, you pass by this exposed rock.

And here it is!
This is where we'd like to build our forever home.  It would be to the left of where Mark and his dad are standing.

The cedar trees need to be cleared and we need dirt work done, but we feel like this is the perfect spot.

There are paths all over the land, thanks to Mark's dad.

Wouldn't it be amazing to take a walk through the woods every day?

This is who I get to plan and dream with.  I'm a lucky girl!

While we live in the present, we dream about the future.
