The Decision to Build


Fast forward to January 2008. After some serious number crunching we come to the conclusion (right or wrong) that we can finally afford to build a house on the lot and not have to rent it out (one of our goals!). With only one year of Stephen's college left, by the time the project is done we will have only one child left in college (Eric..who subsequently tells us in March that he is leaving school to pursue other interests).

We also decide this time to be a bit more expeditious about breaking the news to the kids and let them all know within a month. Everyone in the family is excited and we even find plans on the Internet (see picture above) that seem to have almost everything we are looking for in a beach house.

Well, I decided to become famous and be the first to comment on your building project. Congrats to all of you!! We vacationed on the OBX last year (literally this week last year) for the first time and really had a great time. We can't wait to go back. Good luck to you & the rest of the VA Berrys!! From Alan & Wendie & the OH Berrys!!! Love to all of you!!
