Maybe we're building a house.

We just might be building a house, which is crazy, right?*  Building a house was actually never on my life list, but I've been looking at plans, and now I can't decided if I'm more nervous or excited.  Or more both.  :)

But if we are building a house, then maybe it'll look like this:

Or maybe like this (which is nearly identical to a house I loved in my old South Bend neighborhood):

Or maybe like this: (but without those arched windows.  I dislike the formality of arched windows.)

Because I like both colonials and Cape Cods.  (Actually, and Craftsmans, too.  And I was really hoping we could pick up a great 70's style ranch with a daylight basement, but I don't think I want to build one of those.)  Except I think I want my house to have grey siding, white trim, and a yellow door, like this:

So, if you have helpful advice or pleasant encouragement, please share.  If you have information that is only likely to increase my anxiety and decrease my excitement, please don't share.  My stomach is jumpy enough already over this.

*Meaning, we've put in an offer on a lot and it has been accepted.  I think it's almost inevitable.
