Back to the old house we go! We were VERY LUCKY to sell our current home which we LOVED very quickly (4 1/2 weeks to be exact). A lot of people ask, "Why would you want to move from that great neighborhood (Carriage Hill Estates) and great house you just made your own?" Well, the answer is simple. The schools. We really wanted to get more north so the kiddos could be in a better school area (STALEY, here we come!)
We have decided that because I am VERY picky, we are going to build a house! YEA! I really can't wait to do this. I know it is going to be crazy, but I am going to do this once and make this house as energy efficient, family friendly and US as possible. :) I am so ready to take this on. We have found a great builder, Integrity Home Builders, a woman builder who is about 35 and full of excitement and understanding for the contemporary style that I like. We have a lot hold in Estates of Willow Brooke (kinda neat it has my name in it) until we finalize some details. Our lot is .73 acre, completely wooded, on a culd-e-sac and reminds me of the lot I grew up on. I can't wait to start this phase and have our permanent HOME! Here are some pictures of our "old" house so I never forget all of the heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears that were put into this house!

| Bye 4504 NE 60th Terrace! |
Here is a pic of our empty lot! Funny thing is we are building about the exact same floor plan as our home on 60th Terrace. We are still tweeking it but want a story and a half with a covered porch, maybe a hearth room, for sure a mud room (very important), and a loft again for the kids. Hopefully we will finish the basement one day and maybe a pool when the kiddos get older:)
