Mom & Daughter Trip - California
In January I decided to take my mom to California for a Mom & Daughter trip. We had so much fun at the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, shopping, and Universal Studios.

Our New Home
We have finally decided to build a house! We decided to build in Herriman with Candlelight Homes. They have been great to work with. The girl that we are working with actually went to school with Tony. Small world!
The style that we are building is called The Silverton. It has 5 bedrooms and a loft, 2.5 baths and a 5 car garage. It is 4,601 square feet.
The basement wont be finished, but we will complete it by the end of the year. It will have 2 bed rooms and a bathroom. We plan on making a theater room down there as well. We also had them include a walk out door so you can walk right into the back yard.
The main floor has 6 six foot windows in the living room. I am super excited about that. When you look out of them you will be looking at the West mountains (Butterfield Canyon). I am also excited about the big pantry! The main floor also includes a big spacious kitchen with two ovens (that will come in handy for Thanksgiving), my craft room, a mud room, our office, and a formal sitting room. The kitchen is open to the living room that has french doors that go into the back yard where we will have 21x16 foot covered patio.
Upstairs has a room that we turned into a loft that looks down into the living room, two spare bedrooms and of course our master room! We took out the laundry room and made that an extension of our walk in closet, that we also had it widen by 2 feet....it is huge!
Our property is a little over a third acre. They finish the front yard for us, but next spring we will finish the back yard.
Tony is super excited to have the 5 car garage, what man wouldn't be??
Right now we have our final appointment at the design center to pick everything out, then we finish up paper work and they start digging. The end of May or first of June is when they will begin to dig.
We are currently packing up our house now to put up for rent. Then we will move in with my sister and brother inlaw until our house is finished!
I will keep you updated with pictures and the progress that is made.
