While we were in Mexico...

We got windows. The cats will be very pleased.

Congrats Greg & Catie!

Scott's brother, Greg, tied the knot in Riviera Maya on November 24. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Mexico last week and the wedding was beautiful. I find it strange to have my breakfast without champagne nowadays but we are glad to be home with the cats just the same. As you can see the Bride and Groom looked beautiful and they had a location to match.














We all had a fabulous time. Congrats to Greg and Catie.

Moving right along

A bit more progress and the crew looks to be hard at work. We might just be in our house in February. Still no sign of anything happening on the lot on the right side of us. It will be fun to see how much progress they make while we are in Mexico for Greg (Scott's brother) and Catie's wedding. I hope everyone has a happy holiday weekend!

We was framed

Or, rather, our house was framed. Katie went out to the lot Thursday afternoon, and the entire frame is up on our house. Foundation, too. It's starting to look like a real house. It won't be long now...

Katie, AICP

I wanted to add a quick post to let anyone reading this know that Katie passed the Comprehensive Planning Exam today and is now a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners! And because of that she gets AICP after her name. AND she's done studying for the exam! AND she's going to get her third set of business cards at work soon showing her new last name and new title.

I'm really proud of her, she worked really hard and all her work paid off. So congratulate her next time you talk to her. She's earned it!

Progress!!!

We went by our lot yesterday to see the progress. It looks like they've put in the sub-base, some pipes, and things are happening! But look at the progress of our neighbor. Their house is going up pretty fast, so we're hoping our house goes up as fast. The other exciting thing is that they've put in the grass and some playground equipment in the park across the street. So that'll be fun when it's all finished.














Also, it's a little hazy, but here's a picture of one of our mountain views. We're pretty sure these are the South Mountains, to the south of our subdivision. They might be the Estrella Mountains, we'll get back to you on that one. We've got another mountain view to the northwest, but it was too hazy yesterday to see any of that.

Our first home

Well, we bought a house. Actually, we bought dirt. House to follow. The house is 5 bedroom/3 bath, two-stories complete with a Super! Family Room. Some pictures of the model home below.
