It's official!!

Well we just signed our contract with our builders (TKO) to get our home started! yippee! If you are thinking "TKO....uh ohhh" let me explain. 2 years ago they had a really bad reputation. They were cutting corners and making lots of big mistakes. The head honcho guy was fired for what he was doing and since then they have been being watched VERY closely. Originally our Realtor told us to steer clear of them, but we looked at some of their newer homes and went to talk to them and our Realtor was really impressed and said he would start sending people their way again. In the end we were promised a good quality home.

We are so excited to start this process! We're builing a 1400 sq. ft. home with 4 bed 2 bath on an almost 9,000 square foot lot. Its going to be a rustic red and cream color. Buliding will start any day now and we will be in our new home by Carter's first birthday in September!! Its a brand new subdivision (our house is the 4th being built in it!!) and there will be a park right across the street at the end of a cudlesac. There will also be a new stake center coming in a year or so.

Meanwhile our evenings are spent at home depot or lowes looking for refrigerators, rain gutters, electrical and sprinkler equipment! Chad is going to do our sprinklers and electrical and our tile. I'm so greatful he knows how to do all this handy stuff and save us some money!
It doesnt look like much now, but heres a picture of our lot!!
