SOLD


Since it was a Saturday and we had just received our loan approval the day before we decided to celebrate by driving up to our lot.  It is kind of an all day commitment to drive to our lot because its over an hour away from where we currently live (although we were pleasantly surprised with no traffic whatsoever and made it to our lot in record time yesterday so that was nice!)  We were really hoping that they had put up our lot sign and sold sticker because the last time we came over a month earlier there wasn't even the lot sign up yet so we didn't have a photo of it.  We were thrilled to see that the sign WAS in place and did have the sold sticker on it!  



It was kind of a cold and wet day so not the greatest for a family picnic like we had planned, also the house next door (basement was done) was being worked on so it was a little awkward to be out there on our lot while they worked.  Anyway, we ate our picnic lunch in the car and then we got out and walked the lot a little and took a family "selfie" with our sign.  :)
After that we drove around the neighborhood for a minute looking for a house with the same color choices as us, and also went to check out the pool and playground area again.
Then we went and explored the area a little bit, checking out some local parks, and the kids school.  Also went to check out what stores and restaurants were around.  All in all it was a fun trip despite the weather.

Next time we visit it will be for our pre-construction meeting, getting more and more excited everyday!

  2. Congratulations on the purchase of your lot and the building of your new home. There is nothing like being able to have a home that you help design to your own vision. I would definitely opt to build instead of buying an existing building. Enjoy the process, and I wish you and your family many happy years in your home.
