Yes...you heard that right! We finally found a lot and closed on it last week after Matt got back from Florida. It is in Huntsville in the Edgewater Chalets Subdivision. To be honest Im not really even sure how we ended up looking in Huntsville but things have fallen into place for the most part. Our views are amazing...I don't know that there are better out there for us. Mountain views out the back and lake views out the front. It is 1/2 an acre completely flat so we will have the yard we want as well. This also meant we wanted to swith up our house plan trying to take advantage of the view in both directions. It is at the top of our price range at 125,000 but the developer was willing to pay the 10,000 in connection fees so that made it definitely doable for us.
We are currently finishing our construction financing. We have also sent out invites to bid that should be back by the end of the week to make sure everything comes within budget. As long as everything comes back ok we are hoping to break ground the middle of May(after graduation but before the baby gets here). We have chosen several of our finishes but still have plenty of time to change our minds so we will see how that goes. We have been planning to do this for such a long time that we pretty much knew what we wanted and just have to make sure that it all falls into place at this point. They also sold the condo we are living in and the new owners would like to move in as soon as we want to move out so we are moving ahead to hopefully move in before Halloween but we have until December if needed. I think my favorite part so far has been going to design kitchen stuff just because it is such a huge part of our home. I can't wait but at the same time Im trying not to get impatient there is still a lot that has to happen but Matt and I have been working towards this for so long it seems so surreal.
