OFFICIALLY SIGNED THE CONTRACT TO START BUILDING OUR NEW HOME!!!!
I am happy to report that our home search is over and we feel so very blessed to have been given such an awesome opportunity to have a brand new home. We literally have been watched over and led to where we need to be. For the past four months I have toured countless homes in the Salt Lake Valley...all of them old fixer-uppers and in my opinion way over priced. Then we broadened our search down to Utah County and found out that we could build a new home for the same price we could purchase a fixer upper. The commute is only 13 minutes longer for Jeff, so it seemed like a good option. The best part? I get to pick out everything...all the colors and styles. We also got a "signing bonus" of all around stucco, rock on the front, and full AC. Here is the elevation of our new home. We could only afford to go with elevation 1, but that is because we are pouring a full basement underneath.
Here is the lot where our future home will be. We got lucky here. It is 500 square feet bigger than the surrounding lots and it was the same price.
Our view of Utah Lake.
Our view back towards Draper and Point of the Mountain. This is the direction our house will face....and it is one of the main reasons I liked the lot...so I could look back towards Salt Lake Valley, which I will miss. But we really aren't that far away--literally just past Point of the Mountain.
If all goes well we should be able to start digging the hole in two weeks. The house isn't set to be completed until August.

Congratulations!!! That is so awesome, and the view is pretty!
WAHOOOO! I am SO excited for you guys, and even more excited that we will be so close. Who would have known after living in Rexburg that we would again live within minutes of each other?
It sounds like you got some nice upgrades, and the view from your lot is really nice! Congrats, you guys really deserve this!
Yay! Congratulations! As you know, if you need any help...
Those are some pretty sweet views! I'm so totally excited for you! I hope everthing goes smoothly and quickly!
Totally and completely awesome! There is nothing like signing papers for your own house! Good luck with the building!

YAY!!! Congratulations! We're excited for you! What a great view...I grew up in Springville, and loved those views!
YEA!!! What a great oppertunity. I wish that I could have picked all the colors and fixtures that went into our house, but we ended up buying an inventory house that was already built because the contract on our apartment was up. The views are stunning. CONGRADULATIONS!!
Sara! I am so excited for your family. Spencer and I have been looking at this option... building with Bishop Homes down in Lehi. I am impressed with what you have found though. Congratulations!!
