Happy 2023!

A new year has begun! I don't know why, but it always catches me off guard when we exit a year & start a new one. We've got lots of fun (some slightly scary!) things to look forward to this year, and with God's ever present grace I think we'll be ready. 

I don't have a fun snapshot to show us ringing in the new year because we weren't staying up late on purpose! Aaron & I made it to the 11:00 hour accidentally as we worked late at the house. Our goal is to move in this week. It's not 100% ready but we're prepared to move in & work on the remaining percentage of things to do while we're settling in. It's time for us to be on our own again. This has been quite the journey & we're ever so thankful for the help & generosity of my parents who opened their home to us and let us live with them while we built. We're almost at the finish line and it seems surreal. 

I can't wait to fill you in with a summary post of the building process (and what a long process it was!), but for now I'll leave you with a few random photos & a wish for a fantastic grace-filled 2023. 

Some cousin birthday party fun!
