So, Joe and I are venturing out into the world of selling a house. We have been thinking and praying alot about it and the timing feels right. We have been in this house coming up on 3 years, which seems like such a short period of time. We love our home but feel its time to move on. We are fixing some minor repairs in the house and plan to put it on the market within the next few weeks. Where are we going to live if we sell it you ask? Well, we have our hearts set on building a home. We found this really nice builder about 20 minutes from here. Its out in the area we have been wanting to live in for quite some time now. Building will take time, but we think it will accommodate us more than an existing home will. First thought we have is Joseph. We have no idea what the future is going to bring with him. If Heavenly father decides he is meant to be completely dependent on us we need to be ready for it. Currently our home is a two story with 3 bedrooms, all upstairs. The house we are looking at building is a two story with 1 bedroom down and 4 bedrooms up. The downstairs would have a connecting bathroom. If this happens, the coming years it would serve as a guest room but at a later date possibly become Josephs room. I mentioned to Joe it would be impossible for me to carry a 14+ year old boy up stairs on my own so a downstairs bedroom is ideal for our situation. Each child would have their own room and still have a game room upstairs. We like the idea of being able to customize it to our advantage. Nothing is set in stone yet and we are waiting on getting started with anything until we can sell our house. My parents have been gracious enough to allow us to stay with them if the house sells while the new one is being built. It is an exciting adventure that we hope is a smooth one. We will keep you posted.
PS, Hailey had another soccer game this past weekend. The team she played was called the Pumas. They were super good!!! So good infact that Hailey's team only scored 1 goal. The boys were very aggressive on the other team and came to win! They still had a great time though. Here are some pictures from the game.

Good luck on this fun adventure. I want to build a house....but I want our student loan to be paid off before doing so. It will be a while for me. Look forward to hearing more.
Good luck with the house!
