New House

It's almost ours! I dropped off the earnest money today and we'll sign the contract Saturday morning when Eric gets back in town (he's in Colorado for work this week). I cannot tell you how IN LOVE with this house I am. We looked at all the different builders in the part of town we wanted to live in, and we really liked a lot of the DR Horton floorplans. Once we saw this one in person, we knew it was perfect for us. There were 2 different neighborhoods we were looking in. In one, they only had 1 spec home (built by the builders to sell) in this floorplan, but we didn't like the location of it. So we would have to have one custom built, which would have taken a year since they hadn't opened up the next new section yet. In the other one, they had 2 spec homes in this floorplan, and we just fell in love with this one. It had a lot of upgrades that we probably wouldn't have sprung for, but that are so nice to have. It's 3224 sq. ft, 5 bedroom, 3 bath, with lots of space upstairs and down. It's in a beautiful master planned community, and in it's own little "no outlet" area, on the back street, so very little through traffic. I am not sure when the closing date is going to be, but I'd guess sometime in September. We are so excited to be getting pretty much our dream house! We plan on being in this one for a long long time.

Here's the front - they're not done with the landscaping yet


and here's the floorplan, though ours is a mirror image of this, and some things are different because of upgrades.
