so excited!

I have something exciting to share! Here it is:

You might be thinking something along the lines of... "why did Michele post a picture of some land and the back of someone's house?" Well, I posted it because this is the spot where our new home is going to be built! We are SO excited! And look, it already has a nice rock wall in the backyard for us. We have the spot reserved and are waiting a few months until we actually start building.

And this will be our view:
This is one of the reasons I really liked the lot. They will never build a home right across the street from us because that is where the cute little walking path is (it goes all throughout the community). Eventually there will be homes built along the hillside in the left part of the picture, but for now this is what we will see every day.

It's pretty exciting stuff! We have already looked at some of the details and options for the home and there is so much to choose from. It's fun being able to make your home exactly how you want it.

Here is one of the reasons we liked the community:

This is the park that will be about a 2 minute walk from our house. It has 2 playgrounds, a splash pad, sand volleyball, tennis courts, a basketball court, and lots of green space. We figured it would be a great place for when we have visitors and also for when we have kids.

The community also has a pool (which is a must in St. George!), and the church and all 3 schools are within walking distance. Which is great! I mean the school part is only great if we stay here long enough to have kids that age.

I will for sure post more once the process starts moving along. It's hard waiting though, I wish we could live there now! :) I think I'm most excited about the fact that we will no longer have to share walls with other people and we will have a garage where I can park my car and easily carry in groceries (no more tons of stairs! woo hoo!)
