Happy Anniversary

Ice Cream Anniversary

To us!

It was this long weekend last year that sent Rayleen and I on the home building adventure. We're off to celebrate with an ice cream.

Most expensive icecream ever.

"Fancy an icecream?"

Three little words that would lead the two of us (Rayleen and Lance - me) into a worl of land, settlement agents, signatures, bank loans, designs and upgrades, and I have been told that's the easy stuff!


It was a lazy holiday Monday afternoon and we decided to treat ourselves to an icecream at a town about 15, maybe 20 minutes away. On the way there we pass some sandwich boards advertising a little display home village off to our left. Turning to me Rayleen asks "Can we stop there on the way back? Just to look."

Famous last words; by the following Thursday we had approval in principle for the mortgages (thumbs up to the ANZ), placed a deposit on the block we wanted two days after that and decided on the house we both loved a week after that. Once we make our minds up we don't stuff about! :)

Read on to follow our progress from making our minds up, through making things happen, to finally moving in to our new home. Let's hope it's a dream and not a nightmare.
