Today we got a call...

Today our realtor told us that our final plans for the house are ready to be signed. We are SO excited-the next step is our design center appointment-the one where we get to pick out all kinds of neat stuff for our home like appliances, carpet, paint, lights, etc. I will be taking lots of pictures!!! We did find out our house number-5038! I already like the sound of it...

The Oliver

Alabama Heritage Homes is building our home. This is our floor plan. It is a ranch style floor plan called Oliver. It is one of the newer floor plans so it isn't listed online yet. It will be 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It is a ranch style home, 2004 square feet heated and cooled, the garage is 430 square feet and the porches are all together 150 square feet. We changed the plan a little. We extended the back covered porch by 4 feet (2 on each side). We have changed the back door and added french doors. We added crown molding to bedrooms two and three. We added a utility sink in the laundry room-I am SO excited about this!! Steve can put his muddy soccer clothes, and hunting clothes right in there as soon as he comes in from the garage.

Ok, I am just going to stick with this for now.

It is amazing looking at other people's Blogger sites. I am not that good at putting this together...yet. Maybe I can get tips from my sister Missie. She is an expert with Emmalynne's blog.

But everyone else's Blogger layout...

I feel like my Blogger layout is pitiful compared to some people's layouts. I am going to rethink my layout, and get creative...We'll see...

The Beginning...

After looking for 3-4 months to buy a home in S.E. Huntsville, and having all kinds off crazy stuff happen-just ask our realtor about it (our realtor has been so positive and so encouraging and continues to be as we begin this project!)!! Steven and I purchased a home (that has yet to be built) Thursday March 26, 2009. This the the lot where we are building in the Valley Cove subdivision in Hampton Cove, Alabama. We decided to purchase a lot in a cul-de-sac because the lots were much larger. The builders are going to begin building in the next two weeks. The home is slated to be finished late August or early September. It all depends on the unpredictable Alabama weather... We will keep everyone posted as things progress. We are really excited!!! Soon, Emmalynne can come and visit her Aunt Jennie and Uncle Steven.
