So things are progressing with our land purchase... the owner of the house to our west is buying a half acre of our original 2 acres and we are buying the 1.5 acres. Here is the drawing of what our property will look like. Everything from the red line to the right is OURS! Yay!! We are set to close on March 4th-- hopefully everything will go smoothly with the city in redrawing the plat map and getting all the things done that need to be done. We are meeting with the builder that we are hoping to use next week so I've got my fingers crossed that he'll take us on. I've seen several houses that he's built, and I LOVE his work! We are also working with a draftsman to draw up the plans, but that is looking like it's about a month out... so it will be a couple of months probably before we break ground. This process is a very scary but at the same time very exciting process for me. I think I'm going to learn a lot!!
