We bought our first house together!!!

It's been a looooooooooooooong road, but we are both excited for our purchase.  We spent really 9 full months looking which is just a long time and eventually wears you down.  And where did we end up buying a house??  In one of the neighborhoods we looked at back in Feb. and decided against it...so it really does pay to never completely rule places out and circle back and check again.  It's a neighborhood of new homes, but this is a spec/inventory home that is nearly completed-- will be done in 2 weeks!  So we really don't get to pick out any finishes, but we were able to get a great price and the finishes are very neutral and similar to what we would have done anyways.  The neighborhood has a pool that looks great and we've seen tons of kids around, so hopefully we really enjoy the atmosphere.

I don't have any real pictures at this point, but to give you an idea here is the info from our builder for our house.  They loaded it with basically all the optional features, so that was nice!  Promise I'll post real pics as soon as I get out there with the camera!



This is most similar of the pictures I could find to ours.  Ours will have a 3-car garage will be the main difference.
