So It Begins...

One of my favorite smells is wood, more specifically sawdust. 

I spent my childhood growing up around my dad's job sites with my older sister. We'd sweep up the sawdust and make obstacle courses from paint buckets while my dad cut two by fours. Because we were around all his construction sites year after year, there's nobody else to blame except my dad for my obsession with all things having to do with houses. I blame him for my love of paint colors and the endless hours of DVR'd HGTV (FYI Design Star is my soul mate).

After Chris and I got married, a whopping 9 years ago, we thought we'd build ourselves a little house and I immediately got a subscription to Elle Decor. We were on our way and I dreamt of house plans and possibilities. Little did I know, that reality was a long way away. Pharmacy school fell on my husband's plate and we figured we'd better survive that first, and luckily we (just barely) did. After pharmacy school we unexpectedly took a job in Vegas that delayed our dream of building a couple more years. Now we are back in Utah and living with Mr. Construction Dad himself so we can finally build the house we've always dreamed of. My goosebumps get the goosebumps just thinking about it and I can't wait to smell the sawdust.

Meet the future home of the Pharmacist husband, wannabe supermom-entrepreneur/wife, three (well technically 2 & 3/4 until July) rowdy boys and our pup, Murphy.
