We need to move!

Reasons to move:

-We don't have enough bedrooms for all of us
-We don't have a playroom for the kids
-We don't have enough space. Period.
-I'm tired of living in townhouses where I can hear the neighbors
-It's about time that we get into a real house
-We need to move during the summer before school starts back up
-I have no room for my scrapbook stuff, therefor I am SO behind
-The kids need a real backyard, not a strip of grass
-We want to be closer to Trevor and his family
-Brett is going to be at his job at least another 2 1/2 years so we need somewhere we would want to be for at least that amount of time.
-and the last reason that we want to move.... is because we found a gorgeous house that we love!!

It is 2 miles from Trevor and Elise's new house, cheaper than any other 5 bedroom that we found and huge! (over 3000 sq ft)  Big back yard, big play room, big master bedroom, and a craft room for me :) We have been looking for a few weeks and it has been quite a frustrating process. We found one that we liked, but the family room was very small and would not fit our couch and entertainment center. So that one was out. We went and looked at probably 6 other houses and none of them felt right to us.

The strange thing about us is that we have moved every year for 3 years... this will be our 4th move. We lived in a basement apartment for the first 3 years we were married. we moved to Provo in the summer of 2009. We spent one year in our Provo Townhouse then moved to our Lehi townhouse because of our jobs, spent a year there, then Brett graduated and we moved to our current Ogden townhouse and we have been here for 1 year and 2 months.

Every time we have moved, we have been and to find places that we loved and that were absolutely right for us at that time. Even though we have been looking for a few weeks and no luck, we knew that if we were patient, our perfect house would come along.

On Tuesday, I called about this house, and was told that someone had turned in a contract. I had called so many houses and we had looked at so many that I forgot that I had called that specific one. So on Thursday, I called about it again. They told me it was available. We went to look at it that night and fell in love with it! It was everything we needed and everything we wanted. It was even cheaper or equal to every other house we had looked at and almost double the size of most of the others. After walking through it, I called the management and left a message that we wanted it. We filled out an application online and uploaded all of the required forms. After we had done that, we realized that we had called that same house on Tuesday. That really made me anxious because they told me then that it was taken. What if the girl I talked to on Thursday was misinformed and they sent us to look at a house that was already taken. I have anxiety and so that night was rough. I didn't sleep very good. I was convinced that I would call the next morning and they would tell me it was taken. 9am came around finally and I called. They told me that the other people application fell through and that we were the only ones with an application in on it.... Yay!! I was so so excited.


They left us hanging until the next Tuesday and then told us it was officially ours. We are working on signing the least agreement now. We gave our notice here on the 18th so we have to pay through the 17th of June. We will be moving into the new place on the 16th- so It worked out perfectly for us.



Its a bit early to start full force packing yet but I have started with the attic, and my craft stuff, and board games and such. Also jut straightening things up and getting a big donation pile together :) We are very excited and we love our new house!
