Our New Home

As promised, here is the low-down on our decision to build a brand new home. Spencer and I had been looking at used homes for about a month, with the help of a wonderful realtor, Melissa Smith. If anyone is ever looking for a used home here in Lubbock, this is your girl. Anyway, because we never dreamed we could afford to build a new home, we spent several weeks looking at used. We eventually found a home that we loved, and made an offer. When the counter-offer came back, we were pretty dissappointed. From there, we went back to the drawing board, and met with Judy, our wonderful Sales Person with Betenbough, to explore the option of building a new home. Long story short, we figured out we could make it work, and are so excited to be building a brand new Betenbough home! It is so exciting to get to experience this process from the other side, to see how wonderful of Sales Team we have, and to see for ourselves that my company really does provide what they say they do: "More home for less money". We could not be more thrilled.

We will be building a "Katie" floor plan - a 1400 square foot gem on a precious cul-de-sac in a community called Quincy Park. As the name implies, we will have a park within walking distance! Little Scout girl could not be more excited. We will also be closer to my work, which will be great for my early morning arrivals. This is what she will look like:

Isn't she adorable?! And now the inside...

Yea! We especially the front and back porches, the dining room in the front, and the isolated master bedroom with TWO CLOSETS!! Can't wait to hear what you all think. Here is some more fun...

This is our flooring, cabinets, and countertops...

These are our exterior colors...

What do you think? Isn't it going to be beautiful?! Can't wait to hear what you think. One last one, just for fun. This is Spencer and I at our Pre Construction Meeting. We are supposed to permit on Tuesday, and should be ready to move in about 90 days from then. Get ready for pictures of our footings this week! Yea!!

More coming soon!

Love,
