We went to verify the house we wanted to build on our home site and to see the neighborhood since we purchased the home site, sight unseen!

We couldn't be happier with our decision! We rented a home with the same floor plan and love it!! That was a relief! We also spent some time standing on our lot and "ohh-ing" and "ahh-ing" about our view.

We are one of the very last home to go up on our street and may be the last, actually, as our design meeting is not until Nov 25. The other 2 lots are having specs built on them and it looks like they will be starting soon.

We had our neighbor, John, come over and introduce himself and as we were talking Bonnie Walls our neighbor hood volunteer social organizer drove by and introduced herself. She offered to get a group of the neighbors together the following night at Evan's Prairie and on such short notice, we had 10-12 homes represented. We were shocked at the turnout and had a delightful time meeting everyone. Thank you Bonnie!! You're the best! And Thanks to everyone to came on such notice. I think we have a great neighborhood!!

Gullberry Place seems like "the right place" for us. We couldn't be more excited!

We spent a few hrs several days with our sales agent looking at lighting, hardware, and narrowing down some of our decisions. We are hoping to zoom through design. That may be optimistic, but my hubby was a builder for 20 yrs and I designed some of our homes and I don't think we will have too much trouble making the last few decisions.

We can't wait for our design meeting and to get this house started!! It is a dream come true!

Now to make the BIG decision..... what golf carts to buy......
