New home? New land? Custom home? Established builder? That little voice in my brain is constantly asking me what does our future hold? No epiphany is happening.  Its been over 6 months and I’m sill just as confused. For those that know us IRL (in real life…I’m so proud to still know some internet jargon) you know that we have been looking to moving into a larger home for some time.  About a year ago, we came across a builder that was building on half acre lots and had a floorplan we fell in love with.  A half acre sounded perfect. Not too small but not so large we would be overwhelmed.  The house was quite large but our family unit at the time would need the space.  But that stars aren’t aligning and things just keep happening that are preventing us from actually starting the build and committing to this.  Coronavirus hit and really stalled all our plans while also changing our family unit.  We were at 6 people living in our house and went back down to 4.  Do we really need that big of a house for 4 people? Is a half acre really all we want?

Now we are sitting here in a very less than ideal housing market and wondering should we buy some land and do a custom build with all the things we dream of? On paper that sounds like the best idea.  But in my head I am scared to death.  I love change and a challenge.  I love the idea of being able to use some creativity and design and have the home of our dreams.  But I am insanely scared of the risks.  The gamble.  The unknown. And I have absolutely no idea how to overcome that.  I have never been one to gamble, and to gamble on something like this is just sooooo…..ahhh!!! I will attempt to keep up with the blog and our choices.  I’m sure either way it will be a wild ride.  🙂
