Yes, We are moving...Again, Yea!!

Some of you know and some of your are still in the dark about our current situation. So here is the update. The house we are in now unfortunately contracted mold. It took a while to fix the causing problem before the cleaners could come and clean it. We were all in a stump about what to do and it was frustrating, especially when you have no knowledge mold! crazy how somthing so small and cause so much grief. We thought about it long and hard and both christian and I feel that we did not want to take the risk of it coming back again, so we continued our search for another home. It was a little more difficult at that time because the homes that we liked, within our budget and the best area of town were all sold. We had to up our budget and even then it was still difficult. Then a contractor who we knew was building a house and offered to sell it to us. We knew what kind of work he was capable of (he built his son's house, a co-worker of christian's) and we both really liked it! We did have to wait because the house appraised for much more than we all thought and didn't know if we could afford it. to make a long story short, we have decided to go for it after working out a price agreement. We get to choose everything in this house too since it is still under construction. In the end the house it still going to cost us more than expected because: My dad is doing the kitchen cabinets(still at a great price though) we really want granite countertops, and a few extras like a fridge and extra doors. We are so excited to be on our way to owning something we have always wanted, a house!! The house is a little bit bigger, room to grow, and there is a lot of land. It's going to take a while to save up for landscaping (we can't afford to put it on the mortgage) but it is going to look so nice. Hopefully this times no bad luck will follow us (among other bad luck we have encountered since moving here) but we still love it nonetheless!!!

So here are some picture I took the first week of january. The outside is about ready for stucco and the sheet rock is being put up as we speak. These pictures are a little far away because it was too muddy to get any closer. There are trees in the way because it is being built on a property where a home used to exist(another story). I will try to post more pictures once the stucco is done and the scaffolding has been removed!
