New House, Here We Come!!!

Chris and I are moving... in about 5 months! We signed the papers yesterday to start building a house in Springville. It will have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and be 1400 square feet. So it's not huge, but it will work great for now. Because it's new we get to pick out many things. I never realized how many choices we would get to make. We went to the Home Fitting Center yesterday after signing the papers and started choosing everything. Cabinets, counter tops, flooring, appliances, doors, paint, carpet, wall texture, door knobs, light fixtures, tubs, shower rods, mirrors, more light fixtures, counter tops, and floors, exterior light fixtures, stucco color, garage door height and color, front door color, window patterns, and more. This doesn't even count the landscaping or the interior decorating that will come later. Man we have our work cut out for us. But I'm loving every minute of it! We will take a picture of the lot, a corner lot... YIPPEE... and post it soon. If you can't tell we are SO excited. So stay tuned for more house building details.

Congrats! I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like! Lucky to have Chris around when making those decisions, I think he's pretty much an expert on cabinets, countertops, flooring and the rest. wow, that would really flare up my indecisiveness. Good luck, a lot of exciting decisions! The house sounds like a perfect fit!

HOw fun!! Congrats! I hope that it all goes well. I will say that we had some friends that built their house, and I am pretty sure that all those little decisions, as well as the bigger ones almost caused a little thing called a divorce. It is a good thing that the two of you work so well together, and that Chris has a bit of expertise on his side.

Hooray for the new house, and NEW everything that goes with it. Yeah for owning your own space, and no neighbors behind the walls!!! You are going to love it.
