<\/p>\nWell, the housing market is going down somewhat, our lease is ending soon, and this apartment is getting a little crowded, so. . . we’ve decided to jump feet first into home ownership! After many months of research and after selectively viewing a dozen or so houses, we finally found “The One” for us.<\/p>\n
It all began Monday with an email from our realtor. (He sends us all the newest listings everyday.) Trish saw that it was in the area we’ve been scouting and significantly below market value, which initially made her skeptical. However, with an undeniable nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach she set up an appointment to view the house with me just before lunch on Wednesday. So I met her and the kids there (did I mention that it is three blocks from my office?) and we almost instantly felt right at home upon entry. The unbelievable price, landscaping, and upkeep of the property was like icing on the cake for us. The house is in our current ward boundaries, the layout is what Trish has always imagined us in, and the house is two blocks from the elementary and intermediate schools of choice. So we made an offer that afternoon and had it countered by the sellers a day and a half later. Talk about testing our faith! One day longer and Trish would have talked herself out of the source of her promptings!\u00c2\u00a0 Our offer was accepted today and we begin signing our life away on Monday! Pretty nerve-wracking but super exciting as well! Pray for a smooth escrow and start planning that much needed trip to California! We love you all and hope to see you soon! Here’s a picture of the exterior:<\/p>\n
