More Space...

Our 950SF house here in San Jose is starting to close in on us...and even worse for JON since he works from home! Although we are IN LOVE with our ward and the location of where we live, we can't imagine living in a house this small for a LOOOONG period of time, especially if Jon continues to work from home!

So Alicia and Brett have been great at taking pictures of our house in AZ. The progress is amazing and we are getting so excited to be near family again. It has been 8 years since we lived nearby. We are also so excited because we can take some new exciting trips by gaining vacation time that we usually lose traveling home for the holidays - I know...very SELFISH benefit! and...we will be able to entertain more than just the dog and cat!

Any way our house was supposed to be done in November - looks like June now. The foreman at the site said that the housing market has slowed down so much that when he calls a crew to come out to work they are there in 30 minutes. He said a year ago they would have taken 1-2 months. WOW - in fact that made us feel extremely blessed to be doing what we are doing at a time like this!

So here is the house 3 weeks ago...courtesy of the Moeller's:

J just got back from a construction walk (pre dry wall and insulation) this week and here is where the house is from 3 weeks ago...

And finally - the view from our bedroom window - look at those mountains - c'est Magnifique! Oui?
