If we build it, they will come...

We are considering building our next home.

I know, I know,

you are tired of hearing me talk about moving.

I know I am tired of talking about me moving.

We should just freakin' move already!

But alas, 

here we are at 906

and while our list of projects 

has dwindled down to one 

final

thing

to 

do

....

What now?

Are we going to buy land?

Are we going to buy in town or in the country?

Are we going to live in a house we build

or a house we remodel?

Are we going to list our house with a realtor?

There are so many choices

and we are slow decision makers.

Very

very

very

slow.

I think we are driving my father-in-law crazy : )

not in a bad way

just in a hurry up and live closer

and in a better school district way

which we totally intend on doing

it's just a matter of when and where.

A matter of when and where...

I am starting to hate when and where.

I don't want to think about when.

I don't want to think about where.

I want to think

Bam.

Done.

Right now we are pricing it all out

land

floor plans

upgrades

And figuring out what exactly 

we want in a home.

So here is our Must Haves

* Eight ft {or higher} ceilings

* Ceiling fans in all the bedrooms

*White trim and doors

*White cabinets

*Stainless steel appliances

*Walk-in closet and bathroom in master bedroom

*Big windows

*Island in the kitchen

Here is the Wish List

*Soaker tub in the master bedroom

*Big closets in all the rooms

*No formal living space

*A dining room

*laundry room with a sink

*Desk area

*4th bedroom

*Basement

*Granite countertops

*Attached garage

I am sure both of those lists will grow

and get smaller

as we manage our budget

but I am excited to see where this process

takes us

more to come on building your own home

at least I hope ; )

What would you have on your want/need lists?  Let me know cause I wanna do this right!
