Its Official!

We have signed papers to build a house in Spanish Fork Ut! We are really excited about the house and can't wait until it is finished. It is supposed to be done around mid-May or so.
Wahoo!

This is a picture of the house, but we will add more to the front porch.


Here are a few stats:
Upstairs:
3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, loft and Laundry room
Main floor:
Living room, family room, kitchen and mudroom
Unfinished basement:
set up for 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a Rec room But we can build it how ever we want :)

My two favorite things about the house:
*big master walk in closet...ahhh.
*The big kitchen.
Ok, 3 things.
*I am really excited for a mudroom! a place where my kids shoes/boots/jackets/coats will hopefully never pass to be left on the floor/kitchen table/stairs etc! Is it too much to ask that this will work?

Congrats! While we were building our house I was so excited it's all i could think about, and even thought it was just a few months it seemed like FOREVER!!! YEAH!!!

I am very excited for you! I do wish it was in Lindon, but I guess you have to do what's best for you and your family. I won't lie... I'm jealous of your mudroom.

Oh my gosh, HOW EXCITING. You have no idea how jealous I am that you are building your very own house!!! Mudroom--IT IS A WONDERFUL THING.

PS Do you know that I think about you all the time?? HOW the heck do you do it with the 4 kids?? With a smile on your face? You are amazing. Seriously. Whenever I think I'm going beserk, I think to myself, "Elena squished them in just as close together...only she has an extra baby. So quit whining, Sylvia!" ha ha ha! But it's the truth, you are awesome.
