I was going to wait until I got all caught up to tell everyone the news, but that is taking WAY longer than I thought it was going to, so here it is:
We FINALLY got a house!
After looking at around 60 houses and putting offers in on 8 of them (6 were short sales and we withdrew our offer on one non-short sale after the inspection came back), we found a house we are excited to buy. We will close on the 26th of September unless we can manage to speed it up by a week. It is in Springville for those of you who know Utah County. It's in a nice neighborhood right up next to the mountain and it faces south (which is good when it comes to shoveling snow). :)
If you want to see some pictures I can send you a copy of the MLS listing photos. Just send me an email and let me know.
I'm looking forward to getting my girls into a more permanent situation, getting Emilia into preschool, possibly getting a pet, and painting the walls! Give us a month, and then you are all welcome to come visit. Hooray!
