Home, Sweet, Home

Remember how we said we were going to build our first home?

Well, maybe not!

On Wednesday, we made an offer on a great house.

On Thursday afternoon, we accepted a counter-offer on our new home!

Here's what happened: We spotted a house under construction in the development where we want to live, by one of the builders we were considering. The best part: it'll be done in 3 weeks!

So we made an offer and now it's ours!

Our new home has 3 bedrooms, a den, 2 bathrooms, an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a huge backyard (a quarter acre!) .

For the moment, you have to use your imagination. The drywall went up Friday. The paint, flooring and cabinets will soon follow. We'll be documenting the progress with our camera!

On Monday, we get to pick out the exterior paint color. Nearly all the other decisions have already been made for us. The builder already selected the tile, cabinets, fixtures and interior paint color. It comes with some great standard features.

By December 8, we should have the keys!

More to follow...!
