"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

It's a...

We have very exciting news to share! No, we are not pregnant...but I have felt similarities in FINDING A HOME!! We've been actively searching for a home for a month and a half. Last night we found the PERFECT home for us and wrote an offer. Well, we found out today at 4:30 that they accepted! Hopefully all inspections and financing will work out and we'll move in less than a month to Spanish Fork. After 10 1/2 years of living in an apartment, I am excited to learn the ways of home ownership. Here's a photo of the front. We'll post plenty more pictures when we do the home inspection.
Just for fun...Make a comment and guess how many homes we walked through (not including the ones we drove past) in the month and a half of searching. Closest person wins...the pride of being a winner. :) (Stephanie is not allowed to answer.)

My guess would be 185. That's about what it takes, doesn't it? I think that's AT LEAST what it took for us! Oh, but NOT counting the ones you just drove by...are we talking just ones you went inside? Then probably 32. That's my guess...32.

Love the house, btw!!

So exciting! Congrats, Natalie!! Even though we bought our condo, it still feels like an apartment in some ways, oh well. Some day we'll really graduate and move into a house. We're totally satisfied for now. Good luck with packing and moving!!
