We have an announcement!

WE ARE BUILDING A HOUSE!

The lease in our apartment will expire soon. We decided to see what was on the market before we made a decision to re-new the lease. We looked at a few pre-owned homes, but within hours of the homes being listed in our area, they were already pending a contract. I have never seen anything like it!!!  We did look at a home that is being built right now and we liked that one. But by the time we discussed it and ready to make a move, it was gone too!!!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Luckily, the builder had a few more lots in the area. We scoped out the lots, viewed the floor plans and met with our realtor and builder's agent to ask some questions.  We obtained a pre-approval letter from a lender, discussed price, location, schools, house, builder, commute, EVERYTHING! We slept on it and ultimately decided to pull the trigger!  We met with our realtor and the builder's agent Tuesday night to make a few minor adjustments to the floor plan, sign the contract, and pick out colors for the home. It was a little overwhelming - all those colors and textures.  We chose two different tiles (Entry/Utility and M Bath), carpet, Vinyl (Kitchen/Guest Bath), wall paint, brick, trim paint, cabinets, and three counter tops. WHEW!  We have two weeks to make any adjustments.

It hard to believe they can build a house so quickly, but they said we will be in by end of May!  We have been dreaming of our first home for many years. After 10 years of renting, 7 different apartments... We are looking forward to settling down and FINALLY having a yard!

Here is our floor plan and view of the front of the house; we will be on a corner lot. The house is within walking distance of Lewisville Lake (Little Elm Park), and 15 minutes drive North of Mimi and Poppa's house.
