House plans

So we were supposed to have already started building our house now, but we had major issues with our other lot. It was two lots that we were combining into one and the city was being very picky telling us that we could only put our house a certain way because of the other lot. We pretty much could not put anything on the smaller lot, BIG mess, so we told our builder, FORGET IT! Jt and I were very upset and mad so we drove down to that neighborhood and after much talk and thinking...we ended up finding a lot we liked just as much. We called our builder and he said that was not his lot and the owner of it was holding out and wanted to much money but he would call him anyways. We have had so many issues with houses this past year, I just knew that it wouldn't work out. But...the owner actually sold our builder the lot at a good price so we still get to live in the neighborhood we love and our perfect house! This all happened about 2 weeks ago, so the builder told us it would take about 2 weeks to get all of the paper work transferred over and then we would start. We drove down there the other day just because and they had cleared off our lot! HUGE step for us! Especially since we have been waiting on this since April/May! We met with our builder this week and discussed how we wanted the house to face and little details and Jt told him that we will be burning a lot of gas coming down here to see the progress. He said well come on! Very nice guy! He is a pilot and does this on the side. Can we say bank rolling.... :) Anyways, Jt took a drive down there today and we officially have an address and they have put our lumber on the lot! Again, HUGE step! We are starting to get a little excited about the process. With the wedding and the house it is a lot to take on and we sometimes get stressed. It is mainly from the house crap not going right so now that the house is rolling, hopefully it will ease us a little better and will be fun! Here is our first picture of our future home together!

This is the one Jt took today! Progress people...Whooo hoo!!
