Virgin Home Builders

My Daddy has been talking for sometime about the driveway that he has cleared for me and Cameron on the land that is behind my Momma & Daddy's. Cameron and I were slightly excited to see it but it didn't really "hit home" until we got to see the land and the AmAzInG driveway when we went home in person! The driveway is perfect as well as the spot to build the house we are planning to build! We have already picked out a blueprint that will be the basis of our home & we will only need to make minor changes! I am SOO happy as well as Cameron is. Cameron has told everyone we've seen since we went to look at the land. He even brought his uncle and his Mom over to see the land. Since we've been back to Hawaii everyone that's been within hearing distance has heard about it as well. That makes me happy to know that he is soooo excited for it! :) I can't WAIT! Daddy is going to clear the spot that we've picked out of trees and then when Cameron gets home from Afghanistan (the beginning of next year) we're going to get the ball rolling on starting the building so that when we get out of the Marine Corps (Dec. 3, 2010) we will have our own house!!
I mean, technically, we have our own house now but it doesn't feel that way because it's not in a place of our chosing, it's exactly like all of our friends houses, and you can't make the base housing feel quite as homely as a home that is back in the woods on your parents land! <--That's the best part of the house! :) It's in the woods and right with the family. DON'T get me wrong though, I love the house we have on base- minus the no a/c- but it's just not the same.
Oh yeah, speaking of housing on base, I'm moving to a NEW HOUSE on base next Friday and it has A/C!! How EXCITING?! :) PLUS, it's only like 4 houses down from Melissa! YaY!
So if anyone has any ideas on decorating or ANYTHING on building a house...chip in! :) I'll give your a penny for your thoughts, that is if they're something I like! haha! :) J/K, seriously though, chip in!

that's exciting! i've always thought it would be better to build than buy, because you can build things the exact way you want. :)

i don't really have any good ideas, but definitely do some research before picking someone to build the house.
