Jumping the gun

In my mind, this blog was always going to be centered around the experience of building my forever, or if I may, my "dream home." Something I've learned through a lot of experiences though, is that I have a tendency to "jump the gun." I'll get so excited about something and shout it from the rooftops, or tell anyone that I encounter. Unfortunately, too many times, things and plans change and then I'm left feeling like a complete fool.
My husband and I have been  putting out the feelers of finding builders that could work with us on this project. We  had picked a plan that we had fallen in love with...and like a fool, I showed way too many people. Well, of course, as I should have known, (and maybe I did) the plan is WAY out of our budget. Maybe after we win the lottery we could afford to build it...maybe. So after a night of dealing with the heartbreak of breaking up with this plan, I am ready to move on. I have a clearer picture of the actual amount of square footage we are working with, and how to get the maximum usage out of each and every space. Before I post a picture of the new plan we have picked out, I (like I should have in the first place) am waiting for confirmation of the builders that this is new plan can actually be a reality.
