If they build it...we will come!

This year has been pretty awesome so far! Johnny and I are hard at work in our master's programs and are working hard in our jobs. I decided to take a break from school at the end of this month and focus on Johnny getting his master's degree...he can't wait until he thinks he can go by "Master Johnny Mills".... :) I will be graduating with my Master's grad certificate in HR at the end of June. That way, if I do want to go back to school later, I will only need to go for one year to get my MBA.

We also are in the process of building a town home. Below is a picture of the model. We will be on an end unit so it will be great to have a little bit of side yard and to only share one wall while still getting an awesome deal! Side note...it is up from where they are building the Traverse Mountain Outlet Mall...this is good news for me and bad news for Johnny :)

We also picked out our colors a couple months ago. The main floor bathroom and kitchen counters come with granite at base price so I am excited for that. We are also getting darker cabinets throughout the house and a fireplace on the main floor...super cozy during the winter time for sure :)



So far it has been kind of frustrating because ground was supposed to be broken in May but now the construction company should be breaking ground on Tuesday, June 12th and they said our portion will be finished by August 31st, so we will see. I am so antsy to get into our new home and hope that we will be able to call it HOME SWEET HOME sooner rather than later! :)

My dad said that building/buying a house is a pain, and so far he is right. He says that when we move in and spend the first night at our new place...it will have all been worth it. And parents are always right... :)

In conclusion: If they build it, we will come.
