446 W. Berry Ave.

This is so fun, exciting, and wonderful for me to be sharing this news with you, my dear friends! Yesterday morning Brad and I closed on the construction for our new house. I haven't said much about this up til now, because we didn't know if it was going to work out or not. As you all know, with the Florida house fiasco, we didn't think we'd be able to get into a house, much less build a house, for years. But because of the generosity of Brad's parents gifting some of their land to us, we have just started building back by the bonfire (I think all of you have been back there at some point). We feel so unbelievably blessed - undeserving - but blessed. God is always good and always faithful to us, but we especially experienced this yesterday at the closing. We are SO SO SO excited! And I can't wait for all of you to visit us in the new home someday. It should be finished right around Baby Girl Peters' arrival, actually :)

Here are a couple shots of the construction getting started. If you're at UCC looking at Brad's parents' house, it's to the left of the red barn, tucked back against the woods. This first one (which, by the way, I think Max looks SO grown up in this one, and SO much like Brad!), is taken from Mark and Colleen's house - the driveway was just put in, and you can see a truck doing something in the background. The second one is when they were digging the footers (but don't ask me what footers are).




Love you girls lots, and miss you tons and tons.

Love, Kelly
