Here at\u00a0MileStone,\u00a0we&#8217;ve had the opportunity to be part of some very special ones. One of the best in recent memory reminded us of how rewarding it is to help so many people find their new homes in Austin.<\/p>\n<h1>The Story of Zach and Kylie<\/h1>\n<p>Zach and Kylie first stopped in about three months ago. They were touring the Estates with a group of friends who were looking for a house. Although their friends decided they weren\u2019t ready to buy, Zach and Kylie seemed taken with the neighborhood. Soon they began\u00a0to seriously consider taking the leap themselves.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-298\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/newhomeownersredo.png\" alt=\"New homeowners enjoying dinner in a model home.\" width=\"427\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/newhomeownersredo.png 358w, https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/newhomeownersredo-300x230.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0experiencing some\u00a0common and understandable first-time home buyer reservations, we were thrilled when they decided to build with us! As luck would have it, the night<br \/>\nthey decided to pull the trigger came right before a price increase\u2026 as well as their one-year anniversary. We celebrated the occasion by lighting a few candles, ordering Chinese food to the model home. At about 8 p.m. on their anniversary night, we wrote out the details of their contract!<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks later, Kylie got to spend her birthday at the couple&#8217;s soon-to-be home. They were able to explore the community and meeting some new neighbors. The story would have had a happy ending if it finished right there, but we were all in for one more BIG surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Zach and Kylie recently stopped by and insisted that we go to their home. Zach\u2019s mom from Chicago was with them. We noticed that Zach seemed nervous. His\u00a0demeanor had us convinced that something was wrong,\u00a0but much to our pleasant surprise, it was just the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>As we all sto<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-295\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/announcement-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Couple makes new home announcement and baby announcement in new home being built.\" width=\"370\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/announcement-photo-2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/announcement-photo-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/>od in Zach and Kylie&#8217;s new home, the couple announced to Zach\u2019s mom \u2014along with the rest of the family\u00a0via\u00a0FaceTime\u00a0from Chicago\u2014 that Kylie was pregnant! It was an unforgettable moment. It&#8217;s not every day you get to give your family a new home announcement and a new baby announcement on the same day. As\u00a0we all shared in the great news, we realized how lucky we are.<\/p>\n<p>We often help young couples find their first homes. When you do something over and over again, it becomes\u00a0easy to take it for granted. But as we all gathered together in<br \/>\nthe new nursery at Zach and Kylie&#8217;s home, we were reminded of how special it is to make a difference in people&#8217;s lives.<\/p>\n<p>Zach and Kylie told us recently that\u00a0MileStone\u00a0has been a huge part of making their dreams come true. In fact, they shared that if they had not come to our community with their friends three months ago, they would be having their first child in a cramped little apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Helping people find a new home in Austin, TX, is what we do. This young couple&#8217;s new home announcement reminded us just how lucky we are to have this opportunity. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/contact-us\">Contact us<\/a> to\u00a0find a dream home and soon you&#8217;ll\u00a0be making new home announcements!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-1'  data-version='5.12.74'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title yuzo__title'><h3>Related Post<\/h3><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:125px;float:left;overflow:hidden;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/bonnet_final_phase\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 125px;height:90px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/www.mymilestone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bonnet_final_Phase_FI_900x600-2-150x150.jpg') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 125px;height:90px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover;
