Well, we’ve been making good progress on having our next home built.  As you may already know, we plan on moving next summer, but we’re staying in town, only going a few miles from where we are now.  Most of our home plans are custom, meaning that we got to choose the size, locations, etc. of the rooms, and they had to be drafted up, rather than us having chosen one of the pre-planned models that the homebuilder typically builds.  It’s been a fun, exciting process, with many ups & downs, so far, but all toward the progress of a really great end-product, in our eyes!  Just today, we signed the initial documents & put a down-payment on the building.  We had a lot of reading to do, prior to that, to make sure everything was worded correctly & we were getting exactly what we wanted, but it was worth every minute!  We met with our contact & after signing the papers, went out to dinner to celebrate.  The home shouldn’t be entirely complete & ready to be moved into until sometime late next Spring/early next Summer, but we planned that schedule, as well.  The next meeting will be to pick out materials/colors from their design showcase, which should be fun!  We’re learning a lot in the process, and dealing well with all the decision-making, so far.  Here’s hoping for the best, throughout!
