The Great Home-Building Escapade!

It was time for a new beginning. Kyra landed a fantastic job, and we decided to move our family from the bustling NY area to the charming city of Greensboro, NC. Little did we know that our journey to finding and building our dream home would be filled with surprises, challenges, and a pinch of chaos!

As we began our search, we had a few criteria in mind: a top-notch school district for our twin boys, a 4-bedroom house to host family, and a place that screamed "home sweet home." However, North Carolina's Good Faith payments led us to choose building over buying an existing home. After just a week, we were set on building with our trusty home-building sidekicks.

The road wasn't always smooth – like a rollercoaster that took us through twists and turns. We initially reserved a plot in another neighborhood, but volatile prices dashed our dreams. Our home-building heroes came to the rescue, suggesting a house they'd already begun building. Our real estate agent – the home-finding guru, guided us every step of the way. We met her during a visit to Greensboro months earlier, and her expertise made our experience a breeze.

Moving during a pandemic was like stepping into an alternate reality. Instead of moving directly into our new house, we temporarily stayed in an apartment close to Kyra's job – our cozy home away from home, which allowed us to be involved in the building process.

When we first saw the house, nothing stood out. But we quickly realized we wanted to change the kitchen layout. We spent hours poring over different selections, like mad scientists perfecting a secret formula. But it all came together in the end, and our house transformed into a true reflection of our family.

Since settling in, we've had the pleasure of hosting my mother, grandmother, brother, and his family. They all adore our new home, and it's heartwarming to share our space with them – our personal slice of paradise.

In the end, our journey to finding and building our dream home in Greensboro was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with challenges and surprises. But now, as we create new memories in our beautiful home, we know it was all worth it – and that's the cherry on top!
