Open House/Summer Fun Party

We had a great party last weekend to celebrate our new house with our friends. We started the process of house building over 2 1/2 years ago, when we first started looking at available lots in town. We researched the locations and prices before finally deciding on our area. This area is close to the golf course, which makes a lot of sense with our family and enjoys elements of being in town with the feel of being out of town. After finally deciding on the location, we found a designer and had so much fun designing our very own house. We started building the last week of July 2007. We spent almost every day stopping by the house to see every step of the progress, while we also agonized over the interior decisions. With help from an interior designer, we developed the house we had pictured in our minds. We moved in the first week of April. Although we are still making it become the house we dreamed about, it has been a wonderful first 5 months and we can't wait to see what the future holds. Sometime in the future I'll put pictures of the whole building process on the blog. For now, here are pictures of the party we threw to celebrate with our friends. We rented a bouncy castle for all the kids, about 25 of them came with their parents. The adults even enjoyed a double ball knockout game of basketball. In all, there were over 50 people at our house to play, eat, talk and have fun. We absolutely loved seeing everyone and having a chance to just relax and have fun before the summer comes to an end!
