The building has begun

Construction on our house has finally started!  So far the foundation is poured and the basement walls are up.  Initially we were worried that we'd be the only one on the street since when we picked our lot there was nothing but empty lots around us.  Those fears were completely unnecessary, since almost every lot on our street now has either a completed house or a house currently under construction.  The estimated completion date of our house is September 17th, so the countdown begins!  We're sad to be leaving our current area and ward, but we're really excited to moving into our own place!

Here are the before shots.

After

This was taken on the 4th of July which is why Elena's bow looks like a firework. 

This is the doorway to our storage room.

This is Mike inside the storage room.

This is taken from the back corner of our lot.
