In August, we made the decision to purchase a new house (new construction!) and sell our house. It was a pretty big decision to make, but we put everything in God's hands and both Jimmy and I felt like it was the right time. Our offer was accepted on the new house and we put our current house on the market the next week... it sold in SIX DAYS! We had two offers and accepted the best one.
Our new house is a single family home in Gainesville. (For those of you in the NOVA area, it's across 29 from Lake Manassas.) It has four bedrooms upstairs (5th in the basement), 4.5 bathrooms, and it's about 4,000 square feet (including the basement). It's a corner lot, so we have one neighbor on one side and another behind us, but the side of their house backs to ours (you'll see in the pictures). The elementary, middle and high schools are all great (Go Battlefield!). The community is great... and there's a Wegman's a mile away! Haha!
We are so excited to move into our forever home! We plan to grow our family here and have this be the home our children come to for Thanksgiving when their grown! I am so thrilled to have a home that Owen and our future children will grow up in. All their memories will be in this home and community, and I've always wanted to have that.
Here are several pictures to show you how the construction has progressed since August...
This was right after we signed all the papers. They are digging for the foundation.
The foundation was just laid...

We try to by once a week to check it out and take some pictures. It's coming along so fast! We just heard this weekend that it should be done in 30 days and that we should be able to close before Thanksgiving!
I hope you enjoyed hearing about this new exciting time in our lives! Happy fall to all!
Love,
Judi and Jimmy
Thank you for posting the progression! It is fun to see it 'take shape'!
