My husband and I are experiencing an empty nest after our 18 year old twins left for college. We moved into the house we build in Oct 2016 and have the kid's rooms available when they are away. We love to travel. We are on 24 acres in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains and we have two large dogs and a cat that stay in the house at night. We are still working on some of the finish work of the house.
