Phase 2

About a year ago we decided to move.  We loved our neighborhood and even our house, but we really needed a little more space.  2 cars and 9 bikes don't fit very well in a 2 car garage.  Plus, 5 of our kids were sharing 1 bathroom and it wasn't very pleasant come teeth brushing time.  So, we found a floor plan we loved, a lot in a good neighborhood, put our house up for sale and moved out(phase 1).  We are currently living in my parents basement during phase 2, the building phase.  But there is a problem.  We have been waiting for the building permit for almost 6 months.  We thought our new house would be finished and we would be moving in around this time but they haven't even dug the hole.  Frustrating!!  We considered starting over with another builder, but the way prices have gone up, we'd have to pay a lot more now to get the same house.  So, we are just going to hunker down here in the basement and patiently pray that the permit will come through soon and that things will go smoothly with the build.  Thank goodness my parents are willing to let us stay a bit longer than planned.  They are great!
