 What is good, Marvel Squad? It's finally time to introduce to y'all what we've been hiding for the past weeks. Yes, and as you guys read by today's title, the title is freaking true. So we are currently in our car right now. We just got done taking pictures at our lots, at our piece of land, at our piece of dirt, as a lot of people are calling it. The rumors are true for all of y'all that commented down below. Are we building? Yes, we are building a house. Mariah is not pregnant. As we stated, we didn't want to mislead y'all with the pregnancy stuff, but we are currently sitting on our literal lot. I'm looking at it right now. I see the grass, I see the dirt, I see the leaves, I see everything. And by the time y'all are watching this video, we closed on it. Wait, we're closing tomorrow. Closing tomorrow, but we're gonna be closed. We're filming this on Monday right now. We closed on Tuesday. So we closed tomorrow on this lot. So technically we don't own it. So technically we're trespassing right now. Yeah, but we don't own it. But tomorrow we'll own it, yeah. So as you guys know, I don't know if you guys have been following along with us if you guys are new to the channel. We have been wanting to build for the longest time. We moved to Florida. We originally, three years ago, wanted to build, but we needed to get into a house sooner than that, because when it comes to the building process, it could take up to a year, year and a half. Yeah, it takes a long time to build a house because you have to plan it all out, architects. You have to do an architect if you build a custom home. But if you don't, then you can just do a regular plan. But we're probably gonna do an architect which is gonna take another three months to design and blah, blah, blah. Build it, have everything come in, permits, all that stuff. It's gonna be a process. But we have been wanting to do this. I'm not even kidding for the longest time. And I just can't believe that we're finally doing it. How the whole process happened was was we were looking on Zilla. We were trying to find houses because after the wedding, we were planning on moving into our next home. And we told y'all that we were probably gonna live in our house for another year and feel it out. We were maybe in the house buying time in our life again. And we did not know we were gonna build for sure. We've been looking at houses like Mariahs had on Zilla for the past months. Yes. So we were on Zilla. We were finding beautiful, beautiful homes, new construction, but the location was just not it. It was like where we wanted to live. They're starting to build up the area, but it's not quite there yet. It's just like the areas that they were building these nice new houses were on lots that were so far away. And I'm talking about like a half hour, 45 minutes from the water and basically you wanna be closer to the water because- Can they see the water in the background? Maybe. Guys, we're like on the water. No, we're not on the water. We don't have water on our lot. No, but we're behind. Basically like I could throw a rock literally and hit the canal. Yeah, we're right there and the ocean's right there. But yeah, all the houses we were looking at, you know, they were in locations that we weren't super happy about. And then we were looking at like homes that could just need like a little bit of work. And we just wanna honestly, like we just wanna put our all into a house and make it ours and make it how we want it. Because I feel like there's so many things that me and Bill want and a lot of these houses don't have it. And I just don't wanna settle for something. Like I actually just wanna be able to have my walk-in closet, have the bathroom the way we want it, have the bedrooms and the bathrooms, just everything the way we want it. And we were going back and forth. So like she said, we were on Zillow for so long and our realtor was like, these houses are awesome, but it's not worth it. Like you're buying way too expensive in a not so expensive area. And it's like, why would you buy, you know, this price house when the area is not like, there's no comparable houses in the area. It's just honestly gonna be a bad investment. And for what we want, it's actually crazy that it's cheaper to build a better house in a better area than it is to already buy a pre-built expensive house. Which is crazy to think about. Is our neighbor's houses are insane. We have a really good neighborhood here. And it's gonna feel so good knowing like we got good neighbors and like the houses are nice. It just feels very, very, very good over here. And I just can't believe there's like the first property that our realtor sent and we looked and we're like, we want it. We want it. This is the second property. He mentioned one and then he sent us this one like a couple of days later. And literally we like, like within the day we were like, we want it. Like this is like a awesome location. We came, looked at the location, we're like, holy crap. This feels like home. And the lot is huge. So let me just tell you, this is another bonus out here in Florida. The lot sizes are about 10,000 square foot, which is basically like a hundred foot by 150 feet or something like that. However it's played out a normal lot. It's like 10,000 square feet, which is 0.22 acres. So now I'm in a quarter of an acre. We got so lucky that our lot is literally almost half an acre and it's in a beautiful area. It's 0.44 acres, which is huge considering the location that we're in. And it's bigger than 90% of the lots in the same location. And we got so lucky because these lots are like, I want a lot of space, not to build a big house, but like to have a yard space. Like that's the thing. I want a lot of front yard and a lot of backyard. I want a pool with a nice area that we can, I don't know, have our kids running around one day or utilize the area or maybe even put in a pickleball court. Like- Oh, we want to put in a pickleball court. We are going to put in a pickleball court too. Stuff like that. So we are so lucky that it's huge. And we're looking at it and it seems way bigger in person than it even does when you look at it online. I mean, obviously it doesn't have a house on it right now. It's literally just dirt. But I could kind of picture a house. Can we show them a little sneak peek? There's a tiny, tiny little like- We could show you some trees that are on it right now that are probably going to be taken off. Here's a little sneak peek. There's the dirt. There's the sorrow a lot. It goes back that way and then takes a left. If you guys follow us on Instagram, we're going to be posting photos on there. We just took Instagram photos. So make sure to follow us on Instagram and we are going to be keeping you updated on there as well with the photos and exactly what's going on. And you'll be able to see a little more. Wait, actually Instagram, you could see the whole back of it a lot. You guys, we're going to take you through the whole process. I have dreamt of doing this. Like my mom and dad, when they were together when I was little, they built their house together. And I just remember going there, seeing the process and I've always wanted to build. This is something I've always wanted to do and I can't believe we actually get to do it. Get to build everything that we want for our kids, our future, just everything. I do wish that we had water though. I wish we were on the water. Yeah, we're like right off of it. Like we're almost there. I was going to say, I wonder if that house, cause they just built like almost finished a house right next to our lot. I wonder, see that property that the car's on? Yeah. Like I wonder if they're going to sell that. Yeah, but I wonder, see that tree that's back there? I wonder if we can rip that up and have it go to the nail. It doesn't. Oh. And the property lines won't do that. Oh. Yeah, their yard cuts into it. We literally don't have any. Yeah, that's the only thing. But I wonder if they're going to sell that property. I wonder if that's going to be another one. Like from the pole to the van. I wonder if in the future they'll put that up for sale. If they put it up for sale, we can get it and then we can make it go to the canal right? Cause that'd be sick. Cause like having a canal would be awesome cause then you can have a boat. So we- And it's like golf access right here. We really wanted to be on a canal because in the future we do want to get a boat. Just so we can go boating. I mean we're in Florida. Like if you don't have a boat, doesn't have to be a crazy boat. It's just a boat, little boat. But we're going to become good friends with our neighbors and we're going to see if one day we can use their boat dock and put our boat on it. That'd be cool. That'd be sick cause our neighbors right here. Yeah. It doesn't look like they have a boat dock on it but they have a spot to put a boat. So we're going to make good friends with them. And listen, I would rather have this spot than be on a canal. Like this is the most beautiful view and then the ocean view is right. Like we literally look out our window. It's right there. It's beautiful. Like I couldn't have asked for a better location. No, it's crazy. It's awesome. It's insane. I'm not expecting to do this right now because our wedding is coming up literally next week. You guys are insane. It's Monday. So you're seeing this Wednesday? Yeah. So literally our wedding is in three days. No, wedding's on three days. Two days. No, it goes up on Wednesday. It's the next week at Silly Uber. I'm like literally my brain's been falling. Yeah, well because we have so much. So it's a week in two days. Okay. So nine days. Yes. Nine days from the time that you're all seeing this depending on when you see this video we are going to be getting married. So it's crazy that we're going through all this. We just wanted to share the news you guys before the wedding because we're going to have so much wedding content and I just want to be able to get it out there before so you guys can get excited. We're going to bring you along with everything. I do want to do like a sit down Q&A and kind of answer any questions that you guys have and like our ideas are with the house. Just know we're going to build the most dreamiest house. Yes. It's going to be exactly how we want it. How we want it. That's the cool thing about building is like it's going to be a dream because you know our dream is different than your dream and your dream is different than anyone else's dream because like you might want three bathrooms we might want two bathrooms. We might want six bathrooms. You know, three car garage or a one car. Like everyone has a different sense of how it looks. So it's going to be a dream because this is our unique. Hopefully it turns out to be exactly what we want. Like saying this house that store being built and we were just here like a couple weeks ago and they didn't have the roof on it. And I just just knowing that they get to go and see what they've created is so exciting. That one's almost done. That one's probably like a month away. Oh my gosh. I wish I was awesome. I'm so excited. We're like a year and a half year out. So guys, just know it's going to be a process but by next year we should be moved in. Let's see where we're at this time next year. Okay. It is currently February 12th. Let's see if y'all can remind us in one year February 12th. Let's see where we're at and where the house is at. Do the house might be built, roof up, painted and almost ready. Things might go quicker than expected but things also could go a different route and go longer than expected. So we're just kind of playing it out right now. We're hoping we can talk with the builder this week so then we can get plans going. Things rolling because it's going to be a long process. It's going to be a long process. Let us know what you guys want to see and make sure you guys are following us on Snapchat. We have been so active on there. We post behind the scenes things and I feel like especially with this you guys will see so much on Snapchat so make sure you guys are following us on there. It's crazy. I can't wait to just take photos and updated photos of like, oh the foundations in. Oh the framing and the cinder blocks in. Oh the roof's in. Oh the drywall, the electricity, like everything. I can't wait for everything to like start bunching up because we live in Florida and around the area that we're living in we've seen new builds go up every day. In our neighborhood currently there's been 10 houses built since we lived there so we see the process from start to finish. Like a neighbor across the street just built their house and finished it like six months ago so it's crazy that we're gonna be doing it now. And if you've been following along with us you know we've been talking about this for so long. And it's actually a super common thing out here. Like everybody, cause there's so many lots available. I feel like in Chicago not a lot of people build at all. No I mean. Because there's really no lots but the neighborhood they just sell the houses. So guys that's us for our exciting news. Comment down below how excited you guys are. What are your thoughts? What are you feeling? And like Mariah said we are gonna be posting on both of our Instagrams pictures of us on the lot soon. When are we gonna post them? So today. So today or if y'all are watching this after today any time make sure to go check out our Instagram because it'll actually show you 10 times more than we showed you. Just because it faces almost the entire back corner of the lot. So it shows a lot of the lot in the Instagram photos. So you can kind of see exactly what we're working with. And I am so excited. I hope y'all are excited and I hope the anticipation is over. Now we just have our wedding coming up. So now we can actually party. Now we can get all of this out the way and party. No more secrets. And no more secrets with y'all. Okay, exciting secrets. Measure and we're pregnant. We gotta wait three months to tell them. Oh my God. Oh it's gonna be eating me up. It's gonna be eating me up. That's gonna be the only secret that we're gonna have for a couple months. For a couple months, yeah. But that's not gonna happen relatively soon. No, no we're not ready yet.
