New House!

As I mentioned previously we thought we found the house we wanted to buy out in the tri-cities. Well, we did some more looking online after we returned from our trip out there & found a couple of other homes that we felt were worth looking at. However we didn't want to drag the kids on another whirlwind trip. So, we sent Aaron out to look at the homes while I stayed home with the kids (It worked WAY better that way, but I was just a tad jealous that he got to go look at all of homes...).

The trip turned out to be a success! We did indeed find a home that we like much better than the one we were planning on purchasing. We made an offer on the house & the sellers took it! YAY! I know, It's CRAZY that we are buying a home that I have never seen! But, I trust Aaron & he knows what I like & do not like in a home. Since I didn't get to be there in person Aaron took 3 videos of the house for me. I thought I'd share them on the blog!

Here is the outside of the house & yard:

This is the kitchen/ living areas on the main level:

And, here is the upstairs:

Aaron was busy &, understandably, forgot to get a video of the guest bedroom & bathroom that is in the 3rd car garage (it was built when the home was and is up to code and everything). So, I will be totally surprised when I finally get to see that room! We will have some painting to do Aaron's not crazy about a purple master bedroom! Hehe!) but there's not a ton to do, which is really nice!

We're really excited & plan to close on the house on November 13th. We are trying not to get too excited though, because it seems like every time we have bought or sold a house something has gone wrong. But, we are crossing our fingers that everything will go smoothly, & that the sellers don't back out or anything (that has happened to us before)!

No matter what happens with this house (and we do anticipate it going well), we will be moving out there December 20th!! WOO HOO! Merry Christmas!

The Tri-cities

Last weekend we flew out to the Tri-cities area to check it out. We really liked it there, & even found the neighborhood we want to live in & possibly the house!

The trip was crazy & fun! Here's some of what went on:

*We flew with two kids

Thank goodness for double strollers!

I took care of Logan on the flights, &...

Aaron very patiently took care of June!

*Some of my family came out to see us

(since the Tri-cities is only 3.5 hours away from where they live)!!!

I had so much fun with them that I forgot to take pictures!

Marco Polo in the pool was SO fun!

I cant wait to see them more once we move!

*June learned how to climb out of the crib that the hotel provided

& would not fall asleep in a bed!! Which made for some very LATE nights & EARLY mornings. On top of that one of the times she got up she ran straight into a really sharp corner of a dresser & got a deep puncture wound on her head :(

*We looked at a lot of houses

&, as I mentioned, we think we found "the one!"

*We got to listen to at least one session of General Conferance

& the guys got to go to The Preisthood Session.

Overall, is was a very successful trip, & it was so great to see my family!! We are very excited to be moving out there in a couple of months!
