OUR HOUSE---Hooray!

Okay, a long time has passed since I last posted about our housing situation. That is because it has been stressful and sorta hard, and I didn't want to say anything negative. We waited forever on that other house, and finally got to a point that we were ready to give up. They bank asked us to give them one more week. We said fine, but I think we had both resigned ourselves to the fact that we were done. We waited that week, and still nothing.

Anyway, long story short ( I know thats a first for me, but honestly my fingers could not even begin to want to type the entire thing out...just know it was a great story...)we found a new one, we put an offer on it and by some fluky chance of all chances they said yes.

So we are now going to buy this house, it is wonderful and we went to the new ward today to meet people and it was super great and, well, life has an interesting way of working out huh?

I know that there are a lot of pictures, but Rich's folks want to see...they are far far away on a mission and are missing all our fun...I guess if you have to be gone then thats a good place to be .




This is the front ( I know I have a knack for stating the obvious...)




Here is a photo from the listing this Feb. I had to post this cause the mountains are so incredible.





This is the front of the two sided fireplace the kiddos were rolling on the floor to get our scent on it... There is a sitting room sort of thing on this side and then a family room on the other side


here's another fireplace shot. I love this thing and the little shelves. The fireplace is really huge, it goes all the way up to the top of the house on the other side.




The living room where we will put the piano




The other side of the fire place and in the family room.


The sinks in the master bath. I just love them for some reason~ I guess I have a thing for sinks?



Kitchen




Pantry-a place for everything (and hopefully everything in it's place)




Windows in the family room




Windows above the kitchen sink, awesome view to wash dishes by I think. This sink has a built in soap dispenser...! Who knew?





Back splash




This is the sink in the powder room. I think it is so cool. I didn't even notice it until the offer was accepted and we went back to cheer and take photos...see, thing for sinks~




Another shot of kitchen, from another angle this time.




Whitty's room, awesome view huh?





Paige and Rylie have this little playhouse in their room. They are THRILLED!






Inside the playhouse We were thinking we would put their bunkbeds in there but now they just want it for a play room.




Tori's room (yes, we will paint it)




The view out her window





The upstairs family room




Looking over the rail at the windows







Everyone is happy...now we just have to pray that all goes well with inspections and all that and we close without a hitch....
