Oops, We're doing it again....

Well, I truly thought this house we are in here in Scissortail subdivision would be our last house, but here we are under contract again with plans to build our very first house. This time we get to build from the ground up, which neither of us have never done. Over the last year we have been talking with Tia and Drew about the future and their plans along with our future plans and over time it just evolved into what would now be our retirement plans of retiring close to them out at the lake at Hickory Creek where Tia's lake house is and build across the street from her and Drew and when they start having babies I would retire and keep the babies. I couldn't be more thrilled and to top it off, we did great with the sale of our homes. I wanted to attempt to sell by owner before listing with an agent since we weren't in any hurry at the time and we didn't have the land secured yet so I just posted pictures I took with my cell phone and posted it to Zillow. Withing the first 24 hours we had a ton of views and saves and within 15 minutes the calls started. Before 4 days were up we had an over asking offer and accepted. The kids listed theirs as coming soon for sale by owner and 2 hours later had multiple over asking offers and by that evening had an accepted offer. It just feels like all of this was meant to be. What our immediate future holds is packing up our homes and the kids will live in their RV until their renters move out of the lake house the end of July and they move in the first of August and we will move into a furnished apartment until our home is built, most likely around August/September time frame. I can't wait. We hope to also include a swimming pool, that may or may not happen, but I'm hoping it does. With what we will stand to make on this house and what we got the land for we should walk away and walk into the new house with virtually no mortgage or at least have it paid off in under one year. That is what I call a good retirement plan. This will also allow Tebo the opportunity when he just gets completely fed up with work, he can have options to walk away and retire as well or at least find a less stressful job and relax more. I'm ready for this next stage in our lives and look forward to this new chapter. Someone mentioned there was no way they would build a house with their spouse. To me, that is very sad. We work really well together and I have no hesitation to building a house together. We have very similar tastes and we agree on nearly everything and the things we may not completely agree on, we are good to compromise on. I'm not concerned and neither is he. This will be a fun adventure for sure. More to come on this next chapter of the Boyett/Fosters aka the BOFO's.
