Well...GMAC finally got their act together and we closed today. It is amazing how quickly you can sign away your life! The builder's are hopeful that we can break ground in the next week or so...they have to get a building permit and have the house sited on the land. Once this is done, we are off and running. We are very fortunate to have our neighbor laying our block for the houses foundation and doing the brick-work for us. David and his dad's company have been in the masonry trade for 3 generations. We have selected a brick and are in the process of choosing a shingle color.
Just after signing the contract to build, Mandy and I were joined by a few friends at our lot for a little celebration. This will most definitely not be the last time we celebrate on this lot, but it will the last time that this lot is celebrated on without a house to live in!
Here's a couple of pictures of us at our "lot party." Mandy has her champagne...I have mine!

Over the next 7 months, Mandy and I will be making decisions by the dozens. We will write back when we have more to tell.
