We have bought a house!
Even saying this out-loud is filling both Aaron and I with terror. And excitement, anticipation, delight. But mostly terror.
We have had to itch to find a bigger property for our little family for some time. We’ve been eyeing homes for sale and driving through desirable neighborhoods and dreaming. But there is a big plunge between dreaming and actually doing. We are currently in free-fall.
The home is a new build in a planned community off Happy Valley and I-17. It has all the features that we’ve been looking for: close to stores and shopping, a beautiful community center, near a mountain park for hiking and biking, and close to a good school. As an added bonus, its about 3 miles from my new office and the Honeywell Deer Valley site. The plot of land is on the edge of the development without neighbors behind us – very quiet.

The good news with a new build is we have some time. We’re waiting for a lot to be finalized: the loan approval, the building permit, etc. We’ll meet with the design center in June to pick out features. We’ll save $$ like crazy and start making plans to rent out our current house. And we’ll hope, plan, dream, and enjoy this crazy process. Our big leap.
