Hindman and her mother, Kary Brown, purchased the Declaration floor plan together. They will share the home with Hindman's 12-year-old son, Robbie Hindman. The 1,298-square-foot home features three bedrooms, a loft and a bathroom upstairs along with a large family room, kitchen, nook and half bath downstairs.

Brown said the backyard will be the scene of lots of family activities.

"We plan to install a Jacuzzi, get a barbecue and a few chairs and create an outside room. It'll be nice to entertain out there," Brown said.

Backyard design is one of many projects on the family's to-do list. They are also hitting stores to buy furniture, stock the kitchen and purchase odds and ends.

"We love to shop and now we have something to shop for," said Brown, noting that power tools will be high on their list. Hindman and Brown plan to install custom window treatments, and Robbie wants to build a skateboard ramp in the garage.

"There's a sense of pride in homeownership," Hindman said.
