House Hunting Day #1

Yesterday we hit the pavement with our realtor and looked into some of the homes we are interested in! Although we have been internet shopping so some time we have found pictures on the internet are definitely different than what we see when we drive by and the houses are most definitely different when we get into the house! The day started off with a bit of a bummer... one of the houses we were pretty interested in went under contract that morning so we didn't even get a chance to look before someone else snagged it up! But we carried on, looking at a few houses in Bountiful. Everything we found in Bountiful were small starter homes that needed a little TLC. We knocked a few out right away and one we were on the fence about so we headed to Layton. Brett and I have been really struggling with Layton... were just not sure we want to move so far away from nearly all of our family and friends. I know it's only 15 minutes away from Bountiful (we timed it yesterday and yes we were going the speed limit :)!) but were just not convinced... well until yesterday that is! We did find a diamond in the rough! A cute house built in the 1990's that has been completely remodeled! It bigger than we need right now but there is so much room for our little family to go into! Huge yard! Good area! And it's definitely big enough for us to have a few friends over for entertaining! This cute house definitely gave us some things to think about so check back...

Go JAZZ Go!

Brett and I were lucky enough to attend a Utah Jazz Game with Brett's cousins a few weeks ago. We had SO much fun! Brett sister and her husband have taken us to a few games as well and I tell ya it never gets old! Brett and I love going to the games! We are Jazz Junkies! We try to catch most of the games on TV so were pretty excited when we actually get to go see them live! It was a really fun night! We all got to catch up with all the cousins and their ladies at dinner before the game and then enjoyed watching the Jazz beat up on the Mavericks! GO JAZZ!!!

Diamond in the Rough?!?

Yesterday Brett and I were able to meet with our Realtor! We were so excited! She is amazing! We all definitely hit it off! She was so sweet and kind- took all the time in the world to walk us through the step by step process of buying our first home! It seems a little overwhelming right now but she promised us she would be right there by our sides to walk us right into out very own home!

We did some searching on the internet with her yesterday and its defiantly a tough market out there. With the economy the way it is many of the homes for sale are short-sale properties... A process were being told can be very long, grueling, and disappointing a lot of the time but were hoping out of the handful of houses that peaked our interest we will be able to find our first home! Keep your fingers crossed for us and let the countdown being!
