The Start of Something New Part 2

We finally got our options, lot, and all that fun stuff chosen. We narrowed our almost $38K worth of upgrades down a little, made our offer, and they accepted:) YAY!! They should start building within the next few weeks and it will take about 3 months to build. It is a slab home so they throw those things up so fast. Here is the floor plan we have chosen and the lot:) We opted to "upgrade" the game/bonus room to a 2nd master bedroom for more than reason, and we will have a side entry garage but otherwise things should be as they are listed. We are very excited about this new journey.

Some of the options we did away with:
*Tile in Bathrooms/laudry (can do later)
*blinds (we can get cheaper)
*upgraded sink and tub faucets
*tile shower (we are going fiberglass)

Some things we stuck with:
*Hardwood all downstairs except in the office/den/living or whatever you wish to call it.
*Upgraded lighting because the house we live in now has TERRIBLE lighting
*Upgraded carpet and carpet pad upstairs (should last longer)
*Stainless steal applianaces (we went back and forth about this one, but the day we signed the contract, they started new promotions and one you could choose from was a free "dream kitchen" package which included the upgraded appliances.
*2nd master bedroom upstairs

What are things you can or can not live without. What do you wish you did have or did not have? We have 10 days to "change" our minds so any opinions would be helpful!

Here is what it will look like. Of course, we picked our own brick, etc.

Kelsey and Kaley's "boyfriends" whom also happen to be twins live in the house you see in the picture so needless to say they are all very excited!
