WE DID IT!
We finally closed on our lot last Friday, August 13th. We are officially proud land owners!
For those of you who don't know, Travis and I sold our house last summer and moved into a two bedroom apartment. Why you ask? Two reasons. First and foremost, to pay off our debt and second to build our dream house after that debt is paid off.
Even though the entire process is a work in progress, last Friday was by far the biggest step we've taken so far by purchasing our lot. Up until now we've been saying "when we buy our lot we'll do this and that"...now that we actually own the lot, it's much easier to put our dreams of building this house in focus and to keep on forging ahead with our master plan. Construction is set to begin next spring (March/April) and we hope to be finished by this time next year.
After it's all said and done, we will have lived in our tiny apartment for two years. In the beginning we were pretty negative about the entire situation but the past year has flown by and Pressley has adjusted to "apartment living" like nothing ever changed. As long as she is happy, we are happy.
We have been busy making fun (yet stressful) decisions! Appliances, flooring, paint colors...just a few of the selections we have had to make:) Travis is "over it" and I'm having fun!
We'll keep everyone posted on our progess as things move along!
XOXO,
Travis and Lacey:)
