Ryan and I had been looking for land off and on for a few years, mostly out of curiosity and dreams (we all need them, right?) We'd spend the weekends driving around Tri-Cities looking at houses and pieces of land for sale as a way of getting a break from cooped-up-crazy-kids.
From edge to edge of this photo, it shows you our property boundaries. We are standing directly in the middle of the land - almost where the driveway will be. Our property line actually runs about an additional 5-ft. beyond the row of trees in the distance.
In May 2009, Ryan and I came across a piece of property that looked ideal for our family, critter, and "space" needs. When we drove to see it for the first time, it was really love at first sight. Not so much the unsightly utility poles in our backyard, but the neighborhood as a whole. This was such a perfect piece of property and we jumped on it. We officially own 2.05 acres now in Kennewick!
Here are some shots of the land taken shortly after purchase, in June 2009. This is looking at the property facing north from the road (Badger View Dr.) The utility structures behind us belong to the Badger Mountain Irrigation District. They also own the adjacent vacant land directly behind our property line. We actually looked at this as a favorable thing - because for one, we'll never have anyone build behind us. And, this small business makes for super quiet, private neighbors. No one back behind us to block our view, complain of noises, smells, etc. We actually get a great view of Badger Mountain in the distance.

Here is the official plans for our house. The only thing we've since changed is the upstairs bathroom (we made it a bit bigger). Otherwise, it should finish out pretty close to this!
