Our Dream home

Hi, my name is Kerrie and I am a first time blogger. I am hoping that this will get me through what I am sure will be the hardest thing our family has ever done, build a house ourselves. I am also hoping this will be therapeutic and help me keep my sanity as I share the good, bad, and ugly of building your own home. The start has already been rocky, wow what a pun and I will explain later, to say the least (our own fault) and I feel like throwing in the towel.
I feel I should give you a little background on myself and my family. I work in a salon and bought a coffee stand with a partner a year ago.  I have been married for 17 years to my husband Rob.  He has been in construction all his life and has always wanted to build his own home. That is how we got here today. Thanks dear. We have two children. Jordan is my teenage daughter who just got her license.  I know I am supposed to be a total wreck that she is driving, but I'm not. Honestly I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I just need to get her a car so I can have mine back. Robby is my son and he is just entering teenager hood. A good kid who is just feeling his oats and constantly fighting with his sister. A typical little brother. Both are very active in sports. Jordan is on JV volleyball and track. Robby loves football, wrestling, basketball, baseball, any sport really. I say let him play them all he will have to pick soon enough. Next year they will both be in High School and that scares the death out of me. Bring on the wine!
We bought this property 10 years ago to build on. We did not think it would take this long to get here but lets face it, we don't get to pick the time. So here goes a blog on our life and going Smith Built.
