Is our house in that pile of dirt?

THE COUNTDOWN HAS STARTED!

We signed our first round of papers, ie. our life, today. We finalized our structural and electrical today with the salesperson there. It seemed like we had been over every single detail about 10 times. So I thought that it should have gone faster than it actually did.

But the choices were not the longest part. Those were really easy. Our salesperson also wanted to postpone the electrical. NO WAY! Let's get this going! So we also did the electrical upgrades. But the longest part was the contracts and all of the gobbledygook that we had to sign. Then we had to have it all explained to us!

All we need now is an appointment with our mortgage guy and then the design center where we do all the rest of the upgrades.

So as we left, we drove by our lot. There were a couple of homes in various stages of being built. We told the kids that we were buying a house right next to our friends, and we pointed to their house. J asked, "Is that the house we are buying?" No, J, we are buying the plot next to that house. "Are we going to have our house in the dirt?" Yup, J, we are going to live in the dirt!

6 MONTHS TO GO!
