YEAH!!! We found a new home!!!

We are so excited. We had been spending all of our spare time searching for a new place to live. Our poor agent- Patrick Howells spent countless hours helping us in our search. He was incredible. At last our search is over. We found what we are looking for and we are so excited. We are buying a model home from DR Horton. We had driven by the neighborhood about 2 weeks ago and just said that it wasn't quite in our price range and didn't think much of it. About a week after that I get an email from our agent Pat and he said we should go look at this home today if we are interested because the builder just dropped the price. So Brian took a break away from work & meet us down there. He said that he really liked it but had to get back to work & that we would talk about it that night. There was already a hold on the house which we were told they weren't able to hold it because it was the model home and that first person to actually sign the contract would get the home. So I went ahead & signed the contract to purchase the home and called Brian to let him know that I bought it. He was a little surprised but thought it was a good move to get it when we did. That is the story. :)
We will be moving in the next 2-4 weeks- not sure the exact date. Brian's parents will be surely glad to have their home back and maybe a little peace and quiet without our silly little girls. :)
We will be moving to South Jordan right off 114th south and 3250 w. There are available homes and lots by us & would love to have some friends come move by us- hint, hint!!! We know an incredible Realtor who could help you sell your home & also help you find the right one too- hopefully by us.

Selling our first home!!!

Well- we did it. We closed on the sell of our home today. We are now looking for a new place to live. We are staying with Brian's parents in their basement until we find something. Chailyn thinks it is great to be here & she would like to stay here forever. :) I know she thinks-Why do we need to look for a new house when we can stay here with Grandma & Grandpa? We are hoping for just a couple months.
Grandma & Grandpa Barney are so amazing. They got the basement ready for us to move into it & even set up the girls beds for us. They are way too good to us. We have put in an offer on a house in Bluffdale and are waiting to hear back. It is a short sale so we are still looking at other homes, but so far that is our favorite. :)
I know we will find the right place, it just takes some time & effort to find it.
We will surely miss so many friends from our old neighborhood. Hopefully they will stay in touch.

Packing up

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while- we have been quite busy recently. Well our house in under contract & the hunt for the right house begins. :) We are moving the weekend of the 18th. YIKES that is only a little over 2 wks away. We are so excited for this transition in our lives, but we are sad to leave so many friends from our neighborhood behind. We are hoping they call come & move by us. (when we find out where it is we are moving to that is.)
I have met the couple that purchased our homes just briefly but they are just a cute young couple. It makes me feel old. :( We hope they love our house as much as we have. It has been a wonderful home and we will miss it.
More later when I have something interest to share. :)
