New and Exciting Changes

A few months ago Chris and I have made the decision that we wanted to buy our own home.  We went and looked at homes, but we couldn't find anything that we loved.  So our dear friend, Maria, proposed the idea of building a new home rather than buying an existing home.  That was immediately as intimidating as it sounds.  Building a home?  That is something that people who have been married for 10 years do.  We have only been married for 3, there is no way that that is something we could do.  We flirted with the idea for a few weeks trying to figure out what was going to be the best option for us.  Many prayers and deep discussions later we decided that building a home was the right thing for us to do.  We found an amazing new development in Springville that was perfect for us.  It is only about 10 minutes south from where we live now, and the area is great.  The style of homes that the builder does is arts and crafts, and it is really cute.  We will pick out the exterior colors early this week, and all of the interior later on this week.  They will start construction sometime next month, and we will be in 90 days later.  We will be moving into our home late January.  There will be many posts to come about the process of our home.  We are excited to get started.

Our lot.  I know, I'm a nerd for taking a picture of dirt, but I am excited.
