Deposit paid

Along with it being Miss Jen's 15th Birthday today, it was also an exciting night as we paid the depsoit on the land that we will call home.  We are all relieved tonight, that the search is over, it has been a long process of deciding to sell our home and build a new one and we are finally on our way.  Though we know that the wait is still going to be quite a long one our answers to the many questions from all the children  have been "Any Day Now", which we have chosen as the title of our blog.

When will we find some land dad? - "Any day now"

When will the land be ready dad? - "Any day now"

When will decide on the house plans mum and dad ? - "Any day now"

LOL there have been so many questions from the children,

DJ and I have built before and we know the looooong process that we are in for, it sure is going to be a lesson in patience for the rest of the family though.

At least tonight we are one step closer - we have found and paid a depsoit on our new block of land *huge smiles all around*

Finally found some land!

After a lot of searching, we think we found the perfect block of land for the new house, it will be in a court that has not yet been completed, the land is a long way off from being titled which means we cannot start building for quite some time, but it looks like the hunt is over.  The kids had a great time tonight running around on the block and exploring where their new bedrooms might be, it was a fun and exciting time.

Here are quite a few photos to remember this very exciting night for our family.

The view at the back of the block, we have a farmer for a back neighbour at the moment so there is land as far as the eye can see.

This is our car parked in front of what will be the driveway of the new house.

A photo from the very back left corner of the block showing the street view and our car.

The drains getting laid with the kids behind the huge pile of dirt, Erin thought it was terrific!

 Here is Miss Erin on the run, exploring on her own.

Laura finally caught up with Erin and held her hand as they climbed over the mounds of dirt.

 Laura climbing up the back fence, which I am sure she will do plenty more times over the years.

Finally a street view of the drains and the kids having a ball exploring.

We are pretty sure that this will be the site of our new home, we have a hold on the land and will pay the deposit later this week once we have finally decided, fingers crossed the house plan we have chosen will fit nicely on the block and the search will be over :-)
