Our Piece of Dirt


This our property in Waddel, AZ. It is about ten minutes west of where we live now. It is 1 1/4 acres, David wants horses and I want room to teach kids to play and work. We are getting plans drawn up and very excited about getting started on building our home. The house we live in now, I bought while I was single. This next house will be one for our family, I am so excited. We got the land a few months ago, we were just waiting for a few things the be taken care of. I know things will go slowly at first, but I look forward to posting what we are working on.
