Productive Morning

This morning I was called off work, so I figured I would put my energy toward accomplishing some packing. I was impressed with my progress in only a few hours.

New House Pictures

I was able to take some pictures today after I met with the inspector. The current owner is in the middle of packing and moving so try to look past the boxes and such. Hope you enjoy! We are so excited to move on to the next stage of our lives. It feels kind of like a new beginning. A new city, new ward, new neighbors, new house, new everything. We hope all of you will come and visit us and make your selves at home with us whenever you can.

Just the beginning...

Here is what we got packed today.

This post is for all of you out there thinking how awful I am to buy a house without my husband seeing it first. When I first saw the house I just had that gut feeling and knew it was the house we were supposed to buy. I offered to Bryan to wait until he was able to go see it, but told him we would probably lose the house to another person's offer. His response was, "I don't have time, just get it." So by all means I went for it and we made an offer. Come to find out as soon as the sellers had signed our offer they received another offer. Had we waited we would have lost this amazing house. Bryan and I went to see the house on his day off and he likes it just as much as I do which was a relief. I am hoping to be able to take pictures tomorrow after the house inspection and will post them for you all to see.

I better start packing!

Well, our offer was accepted and we are buying a house! Bryan is so amazing and trusting. He has not even seen the house we are buying, but is on board. He has tomorrow off so we are going to go and see the house, and I am sure he will love the house as much as I do. The last week and a half have been very eventful. We listed our house, are now under contract to sell it and close March 26th, and are also under contract to move into our new home and close on March 15th. The next month should be interesting, stressful, exciting, and very busy!

Eager

Well, I was a little too eager. Both of the houses we were going to offer on we found out are very close to closing already, so we are going to hold off. We are just going to keep looking and are hopeful that we will find a good one. We are just happy to have a solid offer on our condo!

Our prayers were answered faster than we thought!

We received a full price off on our condo today and they want to close on March 26th! We couldn't be any happier! We listed our house a week ago today and are now under contract! What a blessing! Bryan had the day off today so he was able to go house hunting with me and our agent. We found two gorgeous homes that we love and are going to put in offers tonight. They are both short sales that already have offers on them, but we are going to give it a shot. Here are a few pictures of our top choice. It is up on Traverse Mountain with outstanding views from all three (finished) levels of the home. It has a walkout basement and awesome deck on the main floor.

Good News

I got a phone call from my agent today and a girl that looked at my condo yesterday wants to bring her mom through on Sunday and then will most likely be making an offer!! I am so excited! Hopefully it will all work out and we will be officially on a new home search.
