After months of headaches and running into every problem possible.. We have our own home! After we lost a townhouse we had put an offer on, we only had ONE day to find another place and get that new offer accepted. We found a cute, large, fixer upper duplex in Tooele and an okay, townhouse with a desperate need of TLC in Ogden. With only one offer accepted on the last day to receive the tax credit, our future was chosen. We now reside in Ogden, Utah! Notice the picture on the right. This is Kevin telling you how we feel about our Realtor and Loan Officer. Despite all the "fun" we had with them. Check out the view. This was taken from our bay window in the Master Bedroom. aka My new room! BEAUTIFUL!
After signing all the fun papers that come with buying a house, I got straight to work. Washing, cleaning, sanding, taping, and painting. I thought it was never going to end! Kevin works long days and our goal was to have it ready to move in before Kaylee's 1st birthday. I owe a very special thank you to Kaylee's grandmas for watching her and allowing me to work from morning til night for an entire week. After getting a basement window fixed so we could officially own the keys to OUR house and replacing the carpet we were able to move in on July 8th, 2010 (the day before Kaylee's birthday.) Kevin and I spent the early hours of the morning getting boxes sorted and out of the way for her party.
