After much thought and discussion we decided to sell the two lots we own up off of Reata Road. If you know anyone looking to build a house on 1/2 acre that doesn't mind waiting until the fall to start (or put in fire sprinklers), check out the listings on Craigslist. They are great lots on a quiet cul-de-sac. One of them will never have a neighbor on one side because it borders a "valley." When these two lots sell we have one reserved just down the street from the third (and final) lot we already own. We thought of building on it now, but really feel like we need to save it for our last house. It's perfect for a daylight basement and on the end of the street bordering BLM land. It will be great...one day! We had to get another excavation bid and one for a well, plus re-do the lumber package since the price has increased quite a bit over the last two months. So, once again we are all ready to go to the bank - just as soon as the two lots sell. We have someone who is interested and we are supposed to hear from them on Tuesday. Our fingers are crossed for good news this week!
Brett had his final track meet on Friday. He's in lane 6. He did good, but it wasn't his best day on the field. He talks about doing Cross Country in the fall. That will keep him in good shape for Track next Spring. I can't believe my baby is turning 16 next weekend!!
Evan brought his caterpillar home from school at the end of April. It just formed it's chrysalis and will hopefully become a beautiful butterfly some time next week.

Go Brett, Go! And good luck with selling the lots. If our life were different, we'd so buy one and be your neighbors FOREVER!!
I wish we could be neighbors forever!!

I asked Doug but he said no. :( Things will work out soon!
So sad you won't be building by us. Trever and I were talking, and if you can't sell, have you gone back to realtor and asked for money back!!! It is getting rediculous that they are not getting those pipes done! Good Luck!
Hopefully you get the sale you are looking for soon! Crazy how fast these guys have grown! Shawn is mapping his future out and I am trying to keep him in the present! I am not ready to let him go in two years!
BTW, we are just driving through the east coast of washington this summer!(possibly, our time frame is tight and we may have to scrap that part of the drive!) we are stopping in salt lake for a while for visits, and then we are just going the long way home. That part of the drive is still in the air because our time frame is so tight. David's "proposed route" is probably going to be altered...
