Building a Dream: Part 1

January 20, 2012 By: Stephanie2 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my Email Newsletter. Thanks for visiting!



I was going to wait a few more weeks to share this news, but I’m too excited to wait much longer and things seem to be moving pretty quickly now.

We have been waiting for this since October when we found the lot, but we wanted to wait until the start of the new year for a few reasons like the new baby coming and tax purposes, etc.

We’re finally under contract on an amazing piece of property! We were able to negotiate a pretty awesome deal because of the way the market is right now.

It’s almost 2 and a half acres, just 15 minutes from Eddie’s office, and right across the street from the elementary school the kids will attend.

Over the course of the next few months we’ll be working with a modular home company to create our dream home, which we’ve already picked out and started designing. Our goal is to hopefully be in our new home by September when Nicholas starts kindergarten.

My mom is investing in the property with us and in a few years the plan is to subdivide a smaller lot on the property and build her a little house right next door so that she can retire near her grandkids.

I’ll be sharing the entire process over the next few months & then I hope you’ll stick around as we work on decorating it! đŸ™‚

    I read your about me info. We also describe ourselves as between Philly and Baltimore, but I add in Wilmington too. We’re in Cecil County, MD. Always fun to come across someone in the blog world that actually lives close in reality!

How to Make Slime Without Borax
