I've been totally obsessed with house plans. I have finally decided to leave the comfort of my rent house and get my own house. I absolutely love my rent house and landlords. They have been so good to me and taken care of whatever I have needed in the last 8 years. I kind of get sad about leaving my neighbors. I like most of them and my aunt and uncle live at the end of the road.
Anyways. The land have found is absolutely perfect! It is on the bottom part of a ridge I have been telling Kev for the last year that I want to live on. There's a back road we drive down frequently to get to West Little Rock. It crosses over a ridge that has beautiful views. Well, this road is parallel to that road. It's at the very end of the street on top of a hill and backs up to a gated community's lake (Lake Florence according to Google Maps). So I will look out my kitchen window everyday and see a wooded area with a pond. No neighbors, well the houses on the other side of the pond in the gated community, but like I said they are on the other side of the lake. From my front door, I will have a view of a beautiful farm that has rolling hills and is well manicured. I want to live here so bad!! I'm going to the bank next week to apply for a loan and make an offer. If its meant to be it will happen.
So. I've been obsessed with finding the perfect house plan (Kev likes all the ones I've shown him and we both want cedar and stone on the exterior). I have not found one but dad and I can take what I like from different ones and design a one-of-a-kind house just for me. Everything I want! I have been waiting for this day since I was a little girl. When I was a kid, we would frequently visit his job sites (He owns his own construction business) and look at the homes. I would always tell him what he needed to remember for my house one day. That day has finally come!!

You can barely see the lake right now, but I would clear the underbrush along the fence line.
View from the driveway. There's an easement for the neighbor's driveway to run along the fence line/property line.
