It turns out that there is a lot of work to do before we actually get to start our home building project.  This is not a real surprise, but overwhelming nonetheless!  Although we have been dreaming about this move for some time, actually turning those ideas and rough plans in to actions is a daunting task.  Despite our desire to leave the rat race, we have had some great times here.  Now that we have come down to our last few weeks in the suburbs and in the careers that we have had since leaving high school, we are starting to say our goodbyes and hope that we don’t miss anyone.  It is so nice to hear the thoughtful and truly touching well-wishes from so many.  Thanks guys!
