Floor Plan
The first thing to do was find a house plan we liked. 
Because the lot was so long and narrow there wasn't a lot of options, but we found one we like.
We like the open layout and the big kitchen. I also like having a big mud room and hooks so the kids can hang their own jackets! It's nice to have an office on the main floor (and I like the French doors!). Darcy wants to build a timber-framed roof over the back deck. He's done lots of these and they look really nice.
I like the laundry upstairs and the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom (more French doors, too!). And, of course, the nice big ensuite and walk-in closet. The kids get the whole basement for a playroom, so they're in heaven! They will share a room still (we just bought them bunkbeds) and one bedroom will be my craft room (yay!) and the other will be a guest room. At least until the kids get bigger and want their own rooms.

To Build or Not To Build
We'd like to build a house. Well, maybe not right now. Ok, yes we will. Unless.... Ok, no. Definately not. At least not until we got an offer we couldn't refuse!
After talking about building a house for the last three years we're finally doing it! And, it's right across the street from where we live now! Darcy knows the developer of the lane across the street and for some reason he really wants us to build there, so he gave us a great deal we couldn't say no to. But after talking about building for so long, now that it's finally happening, it doesn't seem real.
Stay tuned for the latest and greatest news on our new house.
