A house can become a Home with love

Well, we have plunged.... We have decided to build a home in Los Lunas, New Mexico. After looking at about a million homes and realizing that most people are upside down on their loans I realized our only option was to build. It was cheaper and we could get what we wanted. I kept getting so frustrated looking at homes. Nothing felt right. NOTHING. Last Tuesday we went to look at homes that are being built in Huning Ranch. We were pleasantly surprised at the prices. So we walked through a few homes and went home to think about it. Wednesday I started my big babysitting gig (see post below) and so I didn't get a chance to look at the homes again until Friday morning when I had the night babysitter stay longer. Still after 3 hours I was not convinced of any of the homes or models or floor plans. So we decided to drive 1 hour north on saturday (again the night babysitter stayed) so I could look at more floor plans and models. It was just what I needed to make my decision. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the house we are getting into. I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! There are a few things I would love to open up a bit and make it a bit bigger... But it is going to be so great for our family.

You can look at the floor plan


It is the stargazer. The base line price really is the base line price. If you want lights in the bedroom its extra, if you want an island in the kitchen its extra, you get the idea right? So our final price is a lot higher then this! BUT its so gonna be worth it! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

This is a view of our lot
This block wall behind our house I love because the backyard neighbors are hardly seen.
Lot view to the south.
Lot view
Oh yes another lot view and my dad
See how high that block wall is?! I hope you can see Chandlers face. Its priceless
Oh and its the nice decorative block wall
view if we look out the front of our house. LL hill
I loved this lot because there is not another driveway in front of us. Just the mailboxes
This is the exact house we are building except our garage will be on the left. We are paying extra for the double arches in the front. It is called elevation B
See elevation B
