Good Land!

You're looking at 6 lots in Tower Hill, half a city block, that are now ours. We will be building a house here over the next few months (with a really big back yard!) so we can move out of the parsonage to make room for our first full-time Youth/Associate Minister! Both of these things are very exciting . . . the new house and the new (additional) minister.
The land was sold to us by a family in the church and we are so grateful to them for their sacrifice! (By the way, Derrick said, "But we only need one or two lots." He answered, "It's all or none." :) Thus the reason we own 6 whole lots!)
Also, many friends have offered to help do different projects on the house in order to help keep our labor costs down - and let me tell you, we have some really talented people in our church that know how to do almost anything and everything. We are also grateful for their encouragement in this way.
At this time, the footings are already poured and we're just waiting for the rainy days to stop interrupting our building project. Isn't that how it goes?

Wow! That is a lot of land. It will be great for the boys. You guys will have to host all the family get-togethers so we can send all the kids outside to play!
