We have a house!!

Well, we are almost there. They have accepted our offer, and now we get to jump through some hoops, but hopefully we will be closing in about three weeks and we will officially own our first home!!!! Here are some pictures. It's a very cute house, built in 2007 and seems like a wonderful neighborhood. Actually, to those 14th Ward alumni, the Gunter's are going to be our next-door neighbors--how awesome is that?! Anywho, we wanted to share our happy news and get some pictures up for people to see. These are the ones they have online for the listing...

Here is a view of the front room just as you walk in. I love the window! The yard needs a little work, but the lawn is in already so that's a bonus!












Here is the kitchen. We have to buy our own appliances, but that's really okay with me because that way I can pick out things I like and that I know are clean ;) I'm wierd that way!!












Here is a view of part of the master bedroom with a walk-in closet-- yay!!! Evan still doesn't think there will be enough room for our stuff, but this is WAY bigger that anything we've had so far and we've survived just fine, so I think it will be okay... ;)












The master bathroom- how cool!












I'll post some others once we have them. We have a fairly good-sized yard in the back which is nice. There are three bedrooms and two baths upstairs with a full unfinished basement. Evan is really excited about being able to do some building down there himself. One thing though, as you look at the picture you may notice something...ALL the walls are WHITE! Everything is white! SO, I am not a crafty person and would love any and all advice of some ideas for color that we can spruce up the space with.

Anyways, here it is and we are way excited!!

A house...perhaps...

Who knew looking for a house could be so stressful?! Holy cow! But it has been fun to look around, see what you like and what you can hopefully plan for in the future... :)

We did find one on a Smokin' deal and put an offer on it today so we will see what happens! I'm really excited to see if it is accepted, we'll keep ya posted! Until then keep your fingers crossed please :D

Update

Hey there! I thought I'd just to a quick update about what we've been up to lately. Summer is finally here and we have been loving the beautiful weather! Evan and I went camping over Memorial Day weekend with most of his family up in Driggs. They staked out this great space for us, big open meadow with plenty of room for all the tents and horses and dogs....yep, it was a full house. I'll have to add pictures later, but it was a great time.

I've been working quite a bit lately, but I really love my job with MountainView. I work three 12 hour shifts a week, so that makes it nice. Sometimes the days get long, but I have great co-workers that keep it fun. Evan likes his new job too, he has some great guys in his office that he gets along with great. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly guys can get comfortable with each other. I mean, keeping the air freshener on the desk and blatantly using it? Seriously! ;) hehe But I am SO glad he's not gone so much anymore.

Above that, we've started looking at houses. Holy smokes, the thought of owing that much money is SCARY! :S But we are so excited to finally be able to buy a home to call our own!! :D We'll see what happens- Wish us luck!
