The start of our blog........

Greetings family and friends!!! Welcome to Matthews Mountain Messages (we are trying to make a play on "Waltons Mountain"). A place where you can discover the most recent happenings in our lives. We hope we can keep this blog lively and interesting for everyone.

We thought this would be an excellent avenue for showing the progress of our new home that we are building (actually some cool contractors and handymen are building the house, but we are paying them to do so). Below are some of the first pictures we have of our lot (many of you may have already seen these pics):

This is a shot of the lot from the road. Look at those trees!!!! Yay!

Here is a close up of those trees.....

Here is the house plan from outside

First floor plan....

and the second floor plan.

We are really excited about the house and look forward to giving everyone updates on it. Hopefully they will start preparing the foundation in the next few weeks and we can start showing everyone some real progress!!!
