We're Building a House!

After much time, debate and prayer we decided to build a house! I'm not going to lie still feels pretty surreal but we are so EXCITED! We keep thinking of what this will mean, hanging things on the walls and not stressing out about how much they will take out of our shrinking deposit. Putting Jaxson down for a nap and not worrying about people on all sides and outside screeching and yelling, not to mention our little toddler elephant upstairs who likes to run laps. Having a GARAGE and someday a back yard! And so many other things! I know owning a home is not all rainbows and butterflies but after three+ years in a condo (and 6 years in apartments before that), we are excited to plant some roots and have a home of our own.
The builder accepted our offer last week, so we are waiting for the permits to be approved so they can start digging! The build time is not that bad (well if they stay on the schedule they laid out). We should hopefully be in the beginning of July.

Our house! (well the stock photo of our floor plan. 4 bedrooms, 2 bath and an unfinished basement)

And the location: (Saratoga Springs. So peaceful and away from the everything but close enough we won't go crazy)
