Nothing spectacular, but I cleaned the driveway of snow for another year, and moved about three dozen loads of gravel, rock, and dirt. 1 load= 1 ton= 200 shovels of gravel. LOL Pulled down two trees roots and all. Moved some fireood, and drug some logs around.

I became a dad on November 5th!!!!!

Also, we sold our house and became debt-free, saved up for a 50% down payment on the land we are going to build our home on. Cleared a spot to build a home and we are now saving for a 20% down payment on a custom home! Feels good to finally be smart with our money, even though I must say we have had an absolute blast the last few years. Live and learn.

I sold the house that my wife and I had spent 5 years rehabbing. Sold so fast I now live in Mom and Dads house which is weird but good.

Our little family started work on the new house on 6 acres. Maybe Ill get a post started on that one some time. So far it has been a lot of paperwork and legal crud.

On the tractor side, Dad and I trenched in 780' of future electrical conduit for the homesite. I had never used a backhoe before and its done, or atleast that run is in. We will see when the power company finally pulls the wire if its done... Stared work on what I hope will be the driveway by the end of the week. Sucks working a full time job when there is so much fun work to be done.

Happy New years all..

That my good sir are A LOT of life changers in one year. Take the rest slow and concentrate on the Dad part. Its well worth it in my opinion. The house will be here before you know it, or that what people keep telling me.
