On October 5, 2006, we purchased our lot at 118 Glenwood Court in Heritage Village.  We had been searching for "the perfect lot" for well over a year and, out of the blue, this lot had a "For Sale" sign on it.  We had been looking at another lot just down the street and had, actually, looked at every lot in the neighborhood.  But....this was "THE LOT".....on the only cul de sac in the neighborhood....over an acre....and very quiet.  It was just what we had been looking for.  We  bought it and off we went.  The adventure had begun!  These are pictures of the lot when we first bought it.
 

I had already been looking at house plans for quite some time and had the "New House Fever!"  So, after searching through over 2000 house plans, we had found what we thought to be "the perfect house!"  We were very excited.  It had everything we had been looking for and fit our taste very well.  At that point, we put that decision behind us and moved on to the next task at hand.....getting Don ready to leave for China (but, that's another story).

On January 6, 2007, Don boarded the big bird to travel to Mainland China, where he would spend the next year.  During that time, I was working diligently on getting our current house updated and ready to sell.  The plan was, by the way, for me to have everything done in the current house so that, when Don came home in January, 2008.....he could rest up for a couple of months and then we would be ready to rock 'n' roll!  Part of the plan worked as it was supposed to....the part about me getting things done in the current house....the only thing left to do is replace the flooring and we are still not finished with that (it's February 15, 2009).          Click Here to continue the humor....
