So this is the latest update with us looking for a house to buy.

We now have everything in line to purchase a house, after waiting forever for everything to come together.

We started looking for houses everywhere! Our realtor, Tim was looking, we started looking on KSL for FSBO's, we just needed to find something fast and get out of this over priced apartment. Even if it meant to buy now and live in it for two years, then turn it into a rental and buy again.
I came across a house that looked pretty good. When I called on it and ask some questions about the house, it wasn't quite what we were looking for. It didn't have at least one garage. We were wanting at least one. So the man then asked us what we were looking for. Come to find out, this man does flips and currently was working on 12 houses, a few that he thought would fit us and were not on the market. So we met up with this guy, let's call him Jason, to look at another house he told us about. The house wasn't our favorite floor plan, but it could work. Jason saw our hesitation and told us that there was another house that he thought would work better for us. We followed him to the house and looked around. It was in the middle of being remodeled, so we had to look past that, just like our house in Colorado Springs. We did like the floor plan and everything about it! It was over 2300 sq ft, 6 bedrooms, 1 den, 3 bathrooms, a laundry room, a dinning area big enough to fit our kitchen table, a bigger backyard then the Midvale house we were attempting to buy (which is already sold now), it had a great big shed and one car garage. We were excited. There was one drawback. It was on a fairly busy street and across from a high school, Granger High. We then found out that the high school had one more year of school before it would be torn down and a park built in it's place! We couldn't pass it up.

The flip guy, Jason, helping us out, told us all the plans for the house. It was to be stuccoed along with the shed and garage, a whole new roof stripped down so there would be plenty of years ahead on it, new gutters and everything, new carpet and travertine tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, new cupboards, counter tops, appliances (not including a fridge or microwave), all new light fixtures, front door, windows, vanities in the bathrooms, new showers done with eco stone, 3 tone paint throughout the house, and...that may be it. Basically everything redone from top to bottom. The best part is the we can pick, (from what they have) our colors, carpet, counter tops and everything. This is exciting! It is well within our price and it is going to be finished in two weeks.

Tuesday night we met with Jason and signed papers, picked everything out and now we have a house that wasn't on the market and for a great price! We are very excited. There shouldn't be anything in our way this time.

We close on June 26th (Tuesday) This is good timing for us. We will pay one more month of rent, be moved in before I teach my summer cooking class and before our Family reunion...most importantly before the baby comes.

And I got a very short hair cut last night. Today I'm going to attempt to style it and make it look fantastic...or just good. We'll see how it all comes out. Stay tuned for pictures!
