My loving mother acted as our pick-me-up this afternoon when, on her way home from a massage, she ducked by our lot and called me immediately with SUPER exciting news!!! Geranksy Bros was on site with their track hoe, ready to break ground!! My mom is spectacular, and went as far as to ask the man dropping off the scoops if he was planning to do any work there today still, or if things would just start up tomorrow. He confirmed that she was somehow related to the build (being my mom carries a lot of weight apparently 😉 ) and then he told her he would start “ripping” today. That means exactly what it seems like it would mean. He had a big spike on the arm of his track hoe, and he basically just hacked at the ground to tear it up. A pretty important job when its winter and the ground is frozen-ish. My mom asked if it would be appropriate if we came and watched, and he had absolutely no issue with it!! So about ten minutes after Brady got home, we were loading everyone into the van to race to the lot! The kids were in jammies, we were in sweats. Snacks were packed for the kids, and the camera was in the glove box. We were ready.
It may seem like a small thing, but it was monumental for us to witness the first chunk of ground breaking where our home will soon be! The kids watched wide-eyed, and Dekker commented on how he was digging where we had been digging before 🙂 I’m glad he remembers.
So this is it 🙂 It has officially started! I guess its technically been started for quite some time now, but now its tangible. I can’t wait to see the progress along the way. And I hope you guys can’t wait either, because you might hear a lot about that on here.
This is the start of something wonderful!!
Yeah, wow , so Cool! Excited too!!
