House Progress!!!

Its finally happening!  We are making progress with our house.  I don't think that I have posted anything about our house plans since we bought land back in October.  We closed on that land it was ours on Oct. 31- something about holidays because they cleared our land yesterday and today.  For a while we were waiting around for different meetings with the builder- to pick the exterior and then the interior- and I mean you pick every. little. thing.  I used to think that I wanted to custom build a house and I am thankful that there were but only so many choices with ours because it was overwhelming- what if I didn't like something 10 years from now?  The loan process has taken for-ever-and-a-day, but we are done with that this week and then on to building!

We met with our project manager on the 13th and he was awesome.  We walked our land and saw where the house will sit and went over what would happen next.  We were just excited that things were moving forward when he said that they were all ready to clear the land the next day :)  Happy, happy!  Next is putting in a well which will happen next week.  We haven't really walked the whole piece of land because 5 acres goes a bit back and there are lots of trees out in the country! :)

This is our interior stuff- from left to right, top to bottom- the bathroom tile and sink in master, guest and kids bathroom cabinet, flooring and sink, upstairs carpet
kitchen cabinets, island(the black)batten board, tile and countertops and hardwood floor- my favorite thing- we went with the darkest one.  LOVE!

Our exterior- grey and this house is craftman style so it will have white trim outlining the windows.

Ok, a little more... here are our land clearing pics :)

Our driveway- looking towards the cul de sac

Gabe liked it!

End of driveway, to the right is where I think the garage would be

Front view- the trees in the front are going to be taken down next week.

My favorite part- a quiet street, we are the only house so far!
