When I was building my cabin, each step of the process checked off was so fulfilling. Clearing all the trees, stacking all the fire wood, digging the piers, building floor, putting up the walls and T-11, framing the roof, roofing, chimney, insulation, drywall, then paint. Then there was the putting stuff on the walls. Bear, bucks, gobblers, paintings, then the sign "on a quiet night down by the pond, you can almost hear the fish laughing."

I am absolutely loving this family. I watch these vlogs in awe. But in the main 3 big things that I love about this family. 1. I love the bond that these children have from youngest to oldest and it’s beautiful to watch. They are going to grow up and are going to be best friends as well as close siblings. 2. I love the relationship that Mellisa and Jeremy have. I have no doubt in my mind this couple were truly meant to be together. I am convinced that someone out there in our universe definitely had a plan for this couple. They’ve been blessed with such a genuine great love for each other and added to that their children have been blessed with beauty both inside and out, with beautiful voices too. Jeremy and Mellisa just ooze fun, commitment, love and shared dreams. They working from the same page about everything 7and truly have a wonderful committed love for each other. There is truly something very special about them that I just can’t put my finger on, but it just oozes so much love. 3. Finally, I adore your filming and editing skills. Your movies have been amazing to watch. Keep it up guys, you’re all beautiful. ❤️

Each step is a building block in the process of creating your home. You will laugh over your mistakes, and in the end, will someday look back in pride, at what you achieved together, because these are the memories that bind you together. My husband and I totally renovated an old farmhouse, and it was the hardest physically, and mentally, when things went wrong, but best time of our lives too, because we did it together. Sadly we had to sell because my husband became chronically ill, but the experience was amazing and character building.
