Unlike our last HOA, this meeting was well attended and the atmosphere was one of like-minded people in a fairly close knit community of about 100 homeowners, on the way to eventually 260 some homes.

You can't go to wrong when you start with doughnuts, muffins and coffee (Mom only had one!). But the meeting proceeded with dispatch without people feeling too full of themselves. There was a good mix of folks sincerely interested in maintaining a quality community and those with the talents, experience and time to follow through and make it happen.

The common thing that attracted these families to this one particular subdivision was the desire to live in a safe, clean, responsible community without the pretentiousness of many gated communities. In our last association, people were badgered to be on the board, here they submit their resumes and give a speech before the election. The subdivision and community involvement is high with many active committees, from the needed architectural to the wanted social and welcoming. We were pleased and encouraged that we had come to the right place.

Even though we were looking forward to getting out to the property (we had not been to the lot since they started clearing), the meeting ended near noon so we had a quick lunch at one of the two heralded BBQ places in the "Capital of Sausage" town of Elgin before heading out. More on Texas BBQ in a subsequent blog.

But finally getting to the lot really made our day. The initial clearing for the driveway and building pad looked exactly as we envisioned and previously relayed to the builder. We took a couple dozen pictures to finally give you an idea of what our lot will actually look like. Go to the gallery to finally see - "let there be lot". After the lot purchase back in March of 2006, dirt is finally flying. Our house plans have been approved by the ACC and all we are waiting on is a final septic design and approval to begin seriously playing in the dirt.
Now we hope that Michael and Sharon won't be far behind as they closed their construction loan Thursday.
