The Lot

We have officially taken the first step in building our house!  Lot #5 in Block 7 of Morningside Subdivision is now ours.    

Here's the entrance to our new home.

Here's our lot.

This is the view from our backyard to the street.

As you can see, there isn't much to look at right now.  The lot sits right in front of the subdivision park and you can see our private gate that leads to the park.

We've been meeting with our builders this past week to go over plans.  There are so many details to work out before building starts.  Once everyone agrees on the plan, we'll submit it to the city to get our building permits.  Until then, we'll do a lot of waiting....not my favorite thing to do.

The Newborn

It is time.  Though, I have arrived sorely late (my husband already has two), and not nearly dressed for the occasion as I wish (hey, polka-dots are chic again), I have come bearing my newborn blog.  As any new parent, I am in complete denial about the amount of time and effort it may take to raise my blog.  But, I have born it thinking selfishly in hopes that it will serve a single, simple purpose: to chronicle my life events.  I look forward to entertaining you with my musings on future topics such as paint color choices and puppy dogs.  Stay tuned...
