The Journey of: Exciting news!

Hello Friends & Family--

We are building a new house!

Current house in Madison (Winter 2012)

Many of you already know that Chris and I have listed our first home (any buyers out there?). After much debate we decided that it was time to look for something bigger to accommodate 2 dogs, a cat, us and a growing toddler. No we are not looking at expanding that number either! It was a hard decision as we have treasured our time on Golden Oak, and found some great friends along the way! So, after much consideration on whether we would buy and existing home we decided to build a new custom home. This way we could pick out everything we wanted instead of a lengthy list of home projects on an existing home. You all know how much time, effort and money we put into our current home! A big thanks to everyone that's helped along the way too! I think it's safe to say we are done with major projects for awhile!

New lot!

Basement dug

Footings poured

Foundation poured

After months of looking at lots we chose a nice corner lot in the village (yes I said VILLAGE) of Cross Plains. We are going from 250,000 city to a village of about 3,000. Thankfully we are about 12 or so miles outside of Madison! It's a quiet, safe community. We are already in love with the surrounding area and neighbors. It doesn't hurt that our good friends live right down the street either :)

We picked out a craftsman style plan that fit our style perfectly. I'll have to get a copy of the plans to post on the blog. It should be complete sometime in September, but let's hope it's done earlier! Wishful thinking? Ha! They started the building process of our future home in May. I know this blog is about Cameron, but I thought this was also a good way to keep everyone in the loop on the new house too! And if you know of anyone looking to buy a GREAT home in Madison send them my way! We are visiting the house at least once a week so we should have lots of pictures! And we will have more room for visitors, hint hint!
