The home we fell in love with

As Marianne pointed out we are trying to achieve the "American Dream" Now I know that means different things for different people....but SHE got it! That is what we want!
Now the anxiety I am feeling is overwhelming...the thought that we could actually have a house like this....hmmm....NO WAY...but when you begin to look at the prices....you think well maybe we can....now I am one that does not trust the economy well....I believe another crash could happen whenever it likes....
And honestly a couple of acres and a nice double wide....I could be ok with that.....BUT the more I think about it....what the hell for? Really I mean that is all nice and all...BUT I want something I can leave my children, something they can be proud of....something that can be passed onto them....or if things go south, something I can sell for a good profit.....maybe I am nuts, and I know I am gonna get some shit from a few people I dearly love and respect for this....BUT I want them to understand that things are not for me the way they are for them. If it were just DJ and I ....this would not even be an option...but to see the light in my childrens eyes when they saw a picture of this house...OMG that is enough to make me wanna work even harder for this!




Now there are a few things I would change about this house and that is the wonderful thing about these modular homes.....I can change it up if I want at no extra cost....AS LONG as we stay within reason and within square footage...our builder, Dan, will do whatever we want.
NOW All of you who know me know that I am freaking the fuck out of over this! This is not anything I thought would ever happen....BUT it is happening.....and I am sooo nervous to spend this huge amount of money (yes Kaci I know 10 bucks is a HUGE amount of money to me) and what happens if I hate it? BUT I know I won't and the builder is very patient and very kind....BUT I am getting ahead of myself...We have to tie up the land which is on the agenda for the week! Then we go from there. And the lady we are buying the land from used to work for a mortage company so she understands that it takes a while....
OK well I was going to put some floor plans on here but I can't seem to find the ones we like....BUT I better run, Lane is going to eat the house if I don't go feed him AGAIN....yes no school today is really driving me nuts!!! LOL Oh and we have a soccer meeting tonight so I suppose the season is starting again soon!!! ARRRR

Where I grew up.......

There is a little town in the panhandle of Texas that is 30 miles from Amarillo and 30 miles from New Mexico and 100 miles from NO WHERE!!!! This town is a hole in the ground and it was the best place on the planet to grow up...unless you have dreams that are bigger than a town of 900 can provide! I loved being there for about 5 minutes back in 1990...lol It is one hellofa place to live, they even did a reality show there for CMT...it was the most important thing that has ever happened there EVER....no one famous comes from there....in fact 85% of the population is 6 to 7 generations deep! Some say it is the best place to live...others like me...wouldn't go back if you paid us!

The interstate to where I grew up.....this shows the flat land that I grew up in...NO trees, NO mountains....NO hills.....the flattest part of the entire part of country!!! LOL

Land Run

Here is a photo of some of the land we are looking at buying....more photos of Oklahoma landscape....yes that is snow and no it didn't last but maybe 3 hours after this was taken!!!! LOL

Here is what would be our drive way if we put a house on it which is what are are planning on doing......that spot out there where there is a lot of grass....that is where the house would sit...it is the most level part....

I know it is kinda hard to see in this photo but that is the creek that runs though there. It is a beautiful spot of land that DJ fell in love with and the price is perfect.....I will post pics of the house that we are looking at to put on there...BUT the deal with that is I haven't gotten a full price on it just yet and I do not want to spend the next 30 years of my life paying on a house....anyways.....that is what is going on in our live....I am nervous and scared and to the point of hyperventilating over the whole deal....

BUT as I told a friend of mine....this is forever....well at least my forever....so whatever we decide on it is going to be exactly what we want and yeah all that good stuff...sorry side tracked apparently DJ set an alarm to wake up too...hmm....better go check and see whats up!
