NEW HOUSE!!!!!

Rob and I have finally done it...we bought a new house!!!!! When we bought the house we are in now 5 years ago, we knew that when it was time to renew the mortgage that we wanted something better. Our main goal was to be debt free (besides the mortgage) before we could buy another. We made that goal reality this January!!!
We debated back and forth about going brand new or buying resale and decided to go with new. This will hopefully be the last house for a long time and I really wanted the experience of picking everything!! The only downfall is the long wait. We do not get possession of our house until May 27th 2010. But this is our dream house, so we were willing to do that!! It also gives us time to save for closing fees, lawyers and taxes!!
The floor plans below are for our house. It is the Highwood model with Mattamy homes. On the second floor where you see the computer loft we opted for a 4th bedroom instead. It changes things slightly but this will give you a good idea.
Needless to say we are very excited. So are the kids!! We look forward to watching things go up over the next months. I will be taking tons of pictures that will no doubt end up here!!
