Our First Home!

Another reason I was so far behind on blogging was because we were searching and trying to decide if it was the right time to by a house. We wanted to be closer to Nick's office in Bountiful, but wanted to live in a newer neighborhood with kids. We started looking in Kaysville and didn't really find anything we feel in love with, then our realtor suggested to look in Syracuse my first thought was that we did not want to live way out there. But we went one night and looked at several homes in that area and we fell in love with it. I told Nick after looking at the houses out there I would be happy in any of them. Most of the ones we were looking at were short sales which can sometimes take a really long time to get into, then we found this home that was a foreclosed home, it needed some work but we saw great potential. Going into all this we said if things worked out then it was time, if not then we would wait a little longer. But things sure have worked out with this house. The kitchen floor had to be fixed because the dishwasher leaked and it was in bad shape. The seller fixed the kitchen floor because the appraiser said it had to be done before we could close. We were going to fix the floor ourselves, but now we don't have to, which is such a great blessing. We are so excited about our first home and we will be cleaning and doing a few more things this week and then we will move in on Saturday. We are excited to feel a little more settled. The school the kids will be attending is brand new and Austin can't wait to start. When we get all moved in I will do some before and after pictures but for now here is a picture of the front and back. We are so excited to have a fully fenced back yard too.
It is 4 bedrooms 3 1/2 baths. It has a great big walk in closet in the master bedroom which I am super excited about.

We are truly blessed and so excited that things have worked out!
