TINY LIVING â—½ HOME
Tiny living is so ready to be in a larger space!
​
It’s amazing and difficult to watch the new build go up. Every day we anticipate the move!
​
The building process is coming along pretty quickly, but not quickly enough. Each time a contractor doesn’t show up, we become frustrated, wondering, Where are they? Then other times, they all come at the same time for days in a row and we think, Wow! They’re moving so fast! We have pretty much finalized the finishing touches and this did not happen without a headache! We’ve had eight years living tiny, to be prepared for what we wanted, and yet somehow we weren’t prepared at all. It’s the craziest thing!
​
Brian and I have very different tastes. And at this point, just getting a house with a washer, dryer and dishwasher are my main requirements. However, I did have to nix some “artsy” looks that Brian was going for. We had to come to some agreement, with both of us having to give a little and maybe not get exactly what we wanted. But we compromised and the house will turn out great.
​
​I thought living tiny was not for the weak, but I must say the same about building a home! There are some pretty major decisions with a very hefty price to pay. We're
closer to the finish line and just praying that everything comes together wonderfully. There have been some pretty major issues that have taken place, and we’ve have to remember to give these to God and not stress about it all. This is in His hands and He’s gotten us this far, and He’ll continue to get us through the rest. The process of building has been an emotional roller coaster but also fun and exciting!
​
My oldest son is writing his senior thesis on tiny living. His thesis statement is that everyone should experience tiny living for a season at some point in their lives. I love that this living situation has impacted him for the best, so much so that he would choose to write an entire paper on it! I had no idea the effect our style of living would have on the kiddos and I’m so happy that they think it was a good one and can appreciate why we lived the way we did, and want others to do the same at some point. This definitely makes the momma heart happy!
So to conclude, please consider tiny living at some point in your lives. You never know the impact it could have on you or the others around you.

Remember. Love grows best in tiny spaces…
