We struck gold, well dirt, but it feels like gold!!!!!

With much anticipation of October 26th being our start date, it was only expected that I would drive out the day before to make sure the city removed the trees, and they did!!!  I arrived while they were still leveling our land. 

*we are the lot to the right with the tractor on it*



They were able to save two of the trees on our lot, which will be in the back yard.  I am so excited and LOVE them.  They had to remove the two that would have been to the right of the lot due to underground rooting extending too deep would effect the foundation of the house.  Our PM said we would eventually end up having to cut them out, so to let the builder pay for it now, versus us later.

This moment has restruck the excitement, and I feel like a homeowner again.  With all the pushing back, it was almost like I forgot that I bought a house.  We met our future neighbors last night also, who are building next to us.  We are going through the process together and share the excitement.  They are great people and our personalities clicked right away; I couldn't have asked for better neighbors!

They say from here the process moves right along!  Buckle up and enjoy the ride to our new house!!!!!
