Our home!

We are MOVING!

We have been looking for a home for a few months now and had not really been finding anything we liked in our price range. The first day we went out we went to a new development and loved both of the spec homes we saw(minus their details). When we would go look at existing homes and have no luck we would think more about building our own home in the new developing neighborhood.
So we decided to make an appt with the design center to go in and find out how much the home would be with the upgrades we wanted. When we got there they told us that one of the homes in process' contract had fallen through and it was available again. (Phil had inquired about this house because its finish date would allow us to qualify for all the grant money)
So we found out what upgrades we would still be able to do and it was almost everything and decided to go look through this style of home one more time to make sure we liked it. (We were actually going to build a different model) After we finished there we went out with our agent to a few other homes and then to one of the spec homes again and felt really good about it! That night we went under contract!
Our house is supposed to be done in less than 3 weeks and we are scheduled to close 3 weeks from today! We are so excited. It actually happened a lot faster than we thought it would especially because we were considering starting to build right now(move in in March) and not liking any existing homes to move anytime soon!
We sure hope that this home and neighborhood will be a good fit for us!

Ok girl you say you haven't been busy but I keep checking the blog and no new updates and now there are like 10 new things! LOL Way fun to look at everything though. Such cute kids!

Your house is goregous! I am so happy for you guys and you have definitely earned it. Keep the pictures coming when you move in and start to nest and decorate. That is the funnest part. Oh but I wont envy you and doing the yard...we didn't think about that when we built and let me just say it is alot of work. Unless you have the money to pay someone...LOL Then it would be tons of fun to design! We should go to lunch sometime and hang out with the kids!
