House Haps

It's getting real! That mound of dirt we've been staring at is beginning to take the shape of a house. Our house!

 We are all a little giddy.

In the kitchen looking into the family room.

Kitchen. Isn't it beautiful?! ;)

We were originally mostly looking at resale with the idea that we'd redo floors and kitchen cabinets. The tricky part with that route was that larger lots (that Tom really wanted) were extremely hard to come by. I had never really taken my eye off new builds though and was obsessing over one floorplan from Lennar. So when this 19,000+ sqft lot was available on a cul de sac, was in our price range, and fit the rest of our criteria, we snatched it up.

They're on track to be done mid-October. So now we're just left with the job of working our bums off getting our current house ready and figuring out the timing of selling...all while trying to stay in it as long as possible. My head is only spinning a little.
