It's Official!

Nope, this is not a pregnancy post - got ya didn't I?  However, technically we did welcome a new addition this morning at 11:00.  Check out this beauty...

We've been drooling over this piece of land, well this neighborhood, for a couple of years now.  Driving by often to check on it, dream about it, etc.  Thinking...one day if it's still for sale, we'll buy it.  In the meantime, if it sold to someone else it'd be meant to be.  Well the first lot we were eyeing did sell - RIGHT as we were ready to act on it.  Oh well, it was a sign.  Then this piece was our 2nd preference....which ended up being bumped to our 1st preference because it was oh so much better.  So, it was a win in the end anyway.  Luckily, the current owners didn't even have it listed but when our agent went a calling, they were interested.  And today, we finally got to meet them for the first time as we exchanged ownership.  Woohoo!


The gestation period will be roughly 2 years before we do anything with it but ideally we will build eventually.  In the meantime, we'll be dreaming of what to build which is almost as fun.  Of course, we will get to maintain the grass for now and I'm considering pitching a tent and forwarding my mail soon.  Hey, it's legal now ya know! ;-)


The previous owners were workaholics and didn't have any kids.  This land was definitely meant for kids to run and play on.  All is well that ends well.  Welcome to the family pretty little lot of land.  :D
