Prep work

I opened up blogger to start a new post and realized I had one in drafts from a few weeks ago that I never finished.  July 12th.  Joe and I's 13th wedding anniversary.  It was a picture from our wedding day.  I had started to type about a dream I had before I met Joe.  A dream.  Doesn't it all start that way.  For me it does.  I am a planner and a dreamer.

When we bought our land and moved we had goals and plans in mind.  Dreams.  One of those was for Ava to be able to have a horse at her house.  Today part of that dream is official. 

The Glenn's are getting a BARN!  It was my New Year's resolution!  No kidding.   

Remember I said I am a dreamer AND a planner.  Once that dream hits my head the wheels start turning and plans start being made.  Literally January 2nd I made my file folder and got to work.  Researching... asking Ava's horse instructors, paying close attention to barns where she rides, asking neighbors...you name it and I was researching it.  And everything I found I would discuss with Joe.  From there we had a basic footprint in our heads.  Then we had to find contractors and get bids and quotes and everything in between.  Except for a few weeks I did something that had to do with the barn.  And yes it has taken this long. 

I will post as we go but so far we have cleared out quite a bit of our land for pasture (or paddock).  And of course, a spot for the barn.  The pad has been set and forms are up.  Concrete is next.  Hopefully it is poured next week. 

We have ordered the actual metal building.  I am excited and nervous because we did go with a color and trim that we have not seen in person or anywhere around here. 

Stay tuned for more posts over the next few weeks!
