Our Story

I'm a single mother of two teenagers.  I grew up in a military family.  I currently work in the IT Industry as an SME/Account Administrator in Southeast Ohio.

I'm interested in many things.  I like to think of myself as knowledgeable on a lot of subjects and if I find one that I don't know much about I strive to learn something about it.  I love to learn and love reading.

We plan to buy or build a home to share with my mother.  Hopefully we can find a three floor home that will allow my mother her own space as well as provide space for myself and my two teenage boys.

    Hi There! Found your blog and it looks like we are almost at the same time frame! We break ground June 5 with the Florence in Greensburg PA, about 45 min East of Pittsburgh.

    Looks like you got all of the upgrades we dreamed about.. We didn't get the morning room or finished basement, but did do the upgraded hardwood and master bath.

    Good luck with everything! I'll check back to see how it goes for you guys :)

      That's awesome! If you take pictures and want to share with someone I am all for seeing them! You can email them to me: buildingourabode@gmail.com

      I've met a few of our neighbors as well. I think we're going to fit right in.

      Visit your lot often, things for us are moving so fast and you don't want to miss anything.
