House and Family Updates

Okay I know it has been a while.... Life has been SO busy with getting ready to start building the new house, homeschooling, and working, ...

Last update we had just put a contract on land. That contract to get the land is contingent upon us continuing with the builder on the progress toward the house. We have officially signed the building contract with the builder and within 2 weeks we "should" have ALL the remaining paperwork completed and will hopefully be starting to build by the beginning of October! I will start posting pictures of that soon! :)

But we do have final plans, lot layout, and elevations done and ready to go! Everything has been priced out and we are also starting to fix-up the house we are currently in. LOTS going on...

I know these are not the easiest to see, but we do not have a scanner large enough for the plans to fit on so Robert took pictures with his phone of them.

 This is the house plans (that the builder modified a lot to make sure our needs were - and wants - were met).

This is the lot layout.

This is the elevation of the front of the house.

The other BIG thing going on, for those who did not see the announcement on Facebook, we are expecting another baby. Yes at the same time as all of this and no this was not planned by any means, but very much a blessing!

I am having a detailed ultrasound this week and will hopefully be able to post some of those pictures. I am now 11 weeks pregnant. At this point we are not sure if the baby or house will come first, but it looks like Robert's joke when we were first talking about it may be VERY likely - he keeps saying I am going to go into labor WHILE we are moving. I talked timeline with the builder last week and it is looking incredibly likely right now.
