Temple Square

Even though technically it was our turn to go to Tysons family this year, my family came to Utah to help Brian and Becky with some home upgrades. It was so nice to be in Utah for Christmas AND get to be with my family. Wednesday night we all went to the Salt Lake Temple together and did Baptisms. That was only the second time I had ever been inside the Salt Lake Temple and the first time doing baptisms there, it was so neat to see all the details and how beatiful and ornate it is. I feel so blessed to be able to go in the Temple with all my family, the only exception was Dan, who we got to talk to Christmas even via video chat from the Philipines. Afterwards we saw the lights for a few minutes and walked around temple square. Since Tyson was still in his suit and looks like he is 20 everyone thought he was a missionary..haha he gets that alot. Aftwards we went to P.F. Changs it was so delicious! I forgot how good it was.

Coming soon

We had a great Christmas Morning and Holiday...I will post more once I can find my Camera! I cant find it! Stay tuned

The Wait is OVER!!!

After 6 Months of Looking, Searching, Short Sales, High Hopes, and Disapointments we are finally done! As of today, Tyson and I are officially home owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last wednesday I was looking on KSL, just perusing the classifieds, and I came across an ad for some townhouses we looked at this summer but were a little more than we wanted to spend. Now, 4 Months later, they were offering a $5,000 builder incentive AND a $4100 grant from their lender, AND the basement came finished, where before when we looked at them they didnt. Plus on top of that we still get the $8000 tax credit. Thats a total of $17,100!! We felt like it was a deal we just couldnt pass up and so we decided to ditch the short sale and make the plunge. Today we signed the papers and our closing date as of now is set for January 6th. We were hoping to be in by the end of the year but because of the Holidays the process will take a little longer.

We are so excited to finally have a house of our own and cant wait to move in and decorate! Seriously my mind runs crazy with ideas...oh and the storage! Its a 3 story townhouse in American Fork, it has 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, 2 car garage, clubhouse with pool and hottub, and its in a gated community. Something else we excited about it is just being done with the whole process and not having to work with our realtor anymore! It has been a nightmare for me. Enough talking here are a few pictures of the model house (not Ours) but OF COURSE we will post pictures of ours as soon as we can!

I just had to do it..

Now I am All Decked Out

Decking The halls

I couldnt wait until after Thanksgiving. I tried, but I was just in a festive mood after church today and had to put up my wreath atleast. I got this wreath, and most of the ornaments and such at Tiapan after christmas last year. I think the wreath was like $7 and with all the accessories probably another $15. I have been wanting to put it together for awhile now but who wasnts to make something and then put it in a bag and shove it in the closet. When we get back from Wyoming for Thankgiving I will put my tree up! I cant wait

There were so many people for "Thanksgiving" Dinner we had tables set up outside too, it was still warm though because we had patio heaters, I think i want one of them in my house!

Last weekend Tyson, Chelsea, Brian, Becky, and I took a road trip to Oregon for my Grandma Georges 80th Birthday. She said all she wanted for her Birthday was for ALL of her family to be there. All 7 of her sons and daughters were there and all but about 3 grandchildren who couldnt make it. (Daniel being one of them) We had a huge party on Saturday with about 100 family members and guests. We had a little program with singing, dancing, stories, and Grandma even did some clogging! Can your grandma do that? Sunday since we had everybody together and it was the week before Thanksgiving we had a big Thanksgiving dinner. It was so great to see everybody and have everybody together. There were several cousins I had never even met yet! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for raising such a beatiful family and bringing us all together. Right after dinner we had to get back on the road to be back for work on monday...well atleast some of had to. (hehe, not me)

Patience my Friends

So just to fill the people in who actually read our blog, the house process is still at a stand still. We were supposed to have the paper back from the "investor" which is who the bank answers to. Well it was supposed to be a quick 3 days max reply, which turned into about 2 weeks. By the time he finally decided to sign the last paper needed he realized that because everyone took the sweet freakin time, the appraisel on the house was more than 60 days old and ordered another one to be done because the housing market has "gone up" in the last 3 months. That takes about 5-7 days to get someone out to the house to do it and then we have to wait for the "investor" to sign again, and thats only if it appraises for the same it did before. If it appraises for higher, than most likely they will want to rewrite the approved amount and sale price and we will basically start all over, probably end up waiting another 2 months. We are hoping for the best and that things will come back the same...otherwise COUNT ME OUT. You might be wondering how we have been so patient to this point, well i havnt really been but i kind of have to be. At this point its saving us about $20,000 so i figure its worth it. But if it doesnt appraise the same, I only have so much patience and I am afraid I will have met my max, we will probably go for another unit in the area that is NOT a short sale...Man what would that be like? It was be a breeze.We should know what it comes back at within 2 weeks I am hoping, and then another 2 weeks or so for the "investor" to sign off. Luckily the housing tax credit was/ or is going to be extended so we still have that on our side and gives us a little more time. I guess we will have to be patient for 1 more month. I just hope we can be in a house by Christmas.

Sister Sister (sing it)

Hello Everyone, This is my sister Chelsea! She is 5 years younger than me and she graduated high school this year and moved to Utah. I am so excited for her to be here. First thing we did when she got here is went shopping...soon after we started showing up places wearing the same thing! But seriously I really do love having her here. She is adjusting slowly to life in Utah, her roommates turned out to be more like my age so she just hangs out with me mostly, which is just fine by me. We are currently seeking friends and boyfriends for her right now. :)

Okay now for a little history lesson: When I was in high school I drove a green dodge stratus. When I was 17 I got in a car accident with my Friend and totaled the car. My grandpa decided he wanted a project and fixed up the car the best he could. He got parts from the junk yard so the hood ended up being black, the passenger door was white, the oil leaks like crazy, and it rode pretty rough. I then took this car to Utah when I first moved out here. We painte the white door green so it semi matched but not totally. When I finally bought my first car, the stratus was then passed on to Chelsea for her high school years. Everytime I went home to visit the car died a little more each time. It was SO loud and rough, but still worked, it would never die on you. Well Chelsea then drove the car out to Utah. Which honestly I didnt know if it would make it out here. But it was quite the champ. The car has been totaled, been driven from portland to Boise in the red, almost blew a gasket in the process, and leaks about a quart of oil a month. However we named the car..THE TANK, (aka army jo)for its indestructable body and undying bravery.

Not a great pic, but that was her date...dont think they have been on a second one yet :/

The Saddest part...Last weekend The tank was totaled.....again. Chelsea was driving her and her date out to a corn maze and someone pulled out in front of her and she T-boned them. (you should have seen the other car) Luckily it wasnt her fault and nobody was hurt, but we will miss The Tank and the many memories and places it has taken us. As it was pulled up on the tow truck the bumper fell off...hopefully for the last time. R.I.P in the junkyard forever

Caboodle + Moon Boots

So Its kind of Late to be posting Halloween pictures, but I am not as dedicated to blogging as I wish to be, this week has just been too busy. Halloween night we went to Jim and Kira's Party, it was fun just to be able to have an excuse to dress up and go out. If you cant tell, Tyson is Napoleon and I am Deb. I found Tysons pants at Savers and they were SO TIGHT...they were like a size 28! You cant see the best part of his costume in this pictures...Yes the boots. We won most disgusting costume award on account of Tysons pants, and maybe mine too. :)

The Boyz

The Group Pic (we didnt let the trick-or-treaters have candy until they took our group pictures)

Close up! (and thats a ROOT beer, not beer) And I apologize that Tysons looks downs syndrome, he decided not to look at the camera.

The Chicas

Quick Vent

I just felt like i needed to publicly announce one of my biggest pet peeves. Here is how the story goes: I was talking on the phone with my Realtor (whom I hate with every fiber of my being) and I was telling him how I was frustrated with him because I felt he wasnt doing everything he could to get this short sale approved...thats a whole another story....and I was telling him that I am just the kind of person that when i want something, I get it, when I dont get my way, I fight and do all that I can until I get it, i dont wait until they call me, I call them until I get what I want, and I expect the same from my realtor. Its hard for me to be on the side where I have no control over the situation and I take my frustration out on the people who do have control who arent doing the best they can. Call me a beast, but that just may be what I am. Okay onto the story...So in explaining this to him he says

Realtor: "I dont know when your birthday is, but I bet you are a Scorpio or Sagittarius"
Me: "Nope, I am a Cancer, Not even close"

PET PEEVE : I HATE when people use signs for explaining peoples personalities or using astrological sign as an excuse for their mistakes. Your sign does NOT explain why you are the way your are, NOR should it be used to explain why people do dumb things. Because that only makes you look more stupid. Believe it or not, people are the way they are based on their own decisions and character, not the day you were born or however the stars align. HATE TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE.

Other pet peeves for your reading pleasure:
When the toilet paper runs out and the cardboard tube is left on the holder, and new roll placed on top of the old one... so lazy!
Bicyclist who ride in the street....MOVE
Bad Breath
Flat tires....in the shoe/heel aspect

Oregon Reception

Last weekend Tyson and I went to Oregon for Brian and Beckys Oregon reception at my parents house in Philomath. Chelsea and I flew to Portland while Tyson drove and then we all drove back together. It was just as busy as the first reception in Utah. My parents built our house about 10 years ago, but you know how it goes once you move in to an unfinished house thinking you will finish it and the project list just gets longer every year. Its fun though cause everytime I come home there is something new done. My parents focused on the landscaping this summer and they did SO much stuff. They finished the rock on the side of the house, the deck, the tile patio, the water fountain, grass in the front of the house, and so much more. I dont have pictures of it all but it was so beautiful. There was still a few loose ends to tie up when we get there so we spent most of the few days before finishing up all the projects. I am glad we were there to help though, and props to mom and dad for their hard work this summer. Oh and to Becky and Brian who so conviently showed up 2 hours before the reception...Smart thinking you two!

The Flowers were so awesome, not because I did them, but because they were so cheap! We got all the flowers from the farmers market in downtown corvallis for only $100.!! And also a generous donation of dahlias from the neighbors greenhouse...thats Oregon for yaThe Centerpeices

Another update...

The latest status on the short sale townhouse: After hearing back the first time on the short sale we were super excited that it might actually happen, so we wrote up our counter offer to their verbal offer and were expecting to hear back within a few weeks tops, well its been over 6 weeks and we havnt heard anything. I had basically given up the idea that we were going to buy a house in the near future after the 8,000 tax credit expired. I figured by the time we hear back on the short sale and go through closing it would be too late and we really couldnt afford to buy a house without the 8,000. We took one last look at some new houses on the market on the internet and were going to go look at some this weekend possibly. I just got to the point where I wasnt excited about buying a house anymore because it was so frustrating and all the houses we liked were out of our price range and everything in our price range was so outdated. I even told my realator via text message that if we dont hear back on the short sale before the 8,000 is gone we arent buying a house, so if you want to get paid for putting up with us for the last 4 months, you might want to get busy and start annoying some very indolent bank workers. WELL, today I got a call from our realtor, which usually i screen his calls, but I answered and he told me some good and bad news.

THE GOOD NEWS: We finally have a solid answer and offer/ acceptance on the house.

THE BAD NEWS: The house has two mortages on it. The 1st bank will let it go for $140,000, the second bank will let it go for $10,000, but the second bank will only let us finance 2,000 of the 10,000. So that means we have to come up with $8,000 cold hard cash basically as a deposit, but one top of our other deposit and closing.

You are probably thinking, perfect, wow how did they now the tax credit would be exactly 8,000. Why dont you just use the 8,000 tax credit as the down payment. I'll tell you, because were planning on using that for a washer, dryer, fridge, blinds, and some much needed paints.

Moral of the story is....DOES ANYBODY HAVE $8000 DOLLARS WE CAN BORROW! Actually our plan is to hopefully accept. We would have to borrow $8000 (probably from one set of parentals) until we get our tax credit and pay them back and as long as the house appraises for more than 142,000. We can take the difference of what it does appraise for and use as a "home improvement loan" tied into our mortage so we can get a fridge and all that good stuff. Anyways, sorry this is really long and wordy but thats the status and we should hopefully know within a week if we really have it or if this is all still just a fun little game called "Get your hopes up just to be shot down PART 2"

More Wedding Weekend

My Aunt Donna, cousin Brittnee, and her baby Emma stayed with us for the weekend of the wedding. I met Emma right after Brittnee had her when she was only a few weeks old and she was SO tiny. She is so cute and it was so much fun to see her and play with her. I think when I have kids I need to be careful because I get so excited around babies I just want to squeeze them and kiss them, probably to an unhealthy amount. Kind of like the next picture :) I figured since Tyson wouldnt smile normal, I was just join in his foolishness

I love the action eating shots...always flattering

General Conference was also the same weekend as the Wedding, to add to all the craziness. We went to the Saturday afternoon session with my whole family. Saturday was also the day of the second wedding I had that weekend. I had to finish the flowers in the morning, deliver/ and design the large altar arrangments up to Alta, CLEAR UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, drive back down to salt lake, park about 5 blocks away and ran all the way to the conference center because they say you are supposed to be in your seat 30 minutes before. Little did I know that they arent so strict so I ran for nothing, I was tired, sweaty, my feet and shins were killing me from running in heals, and I was exhausted by that afternoon after a weeks worth of festitivies.
But I still managed to stay awake during conference.

Becky and Brians Wedding

There were better pictures of us, but I just LOVEd this one of Tysons face! Its the picture I have always been waiting for
Mom and Dad...Pretty good looking set of Parentals

The centerpieces

Becky and Brian got married October 1st in the Salt Lake City Temple. The weather turned out to be so great that day. These pictures arent very clear of them but I will post more of the wedding when I get some more. Beckys dress was so gorgeous! They had their reception in Layton and the Chantilly mansion. It was so fun to have all my family in town even though I had two other weddings that same weekend. (yeah i know, what was i thinking? Im not sure) It was probably the busiest week of my life so in a way Im glad its over, but it was a great day and a beautiful wedding.

Moving On?

Here is an update on the house hunt: After about 40 days we heard back on the shortsale townhouse, the first house we put an offer on, which was our first pick. The bank gave our relator a "verbal offer" basically telling us what the bank really wants for the house and we should offer in order to get the house. So we wrote up what they told us to (*Normally in any other sale besides a short offer, a counter offer is ALWAYS written up by the second party, and then we would accept and be under contract and start closing*) however because this is a short sale, there are NO rules for the bank and just because they tell us what they want and we offer that, it gives us no guarantee or even a reasonable amount of hope that we will get it. So basically the ball is back in their court, and we are stuck waiting again. In the meantime, we want to get the $8,000 tax credit and in order to do that we have to close by Nov. 20th, which doesnt leave us much time! So we are looking into some other options right now. We were advised to wait until the end of this week (which would be about 10 days since our counter offer was put in) and we will have to forget about the house and choose something else. Here are some townhouses I went and looked at last friday, Tyson had to work so he didnt get to come with me, but we are planning to go together this upcoming week. Here are some pics. They have 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a basement. The nice thing about these townhouses are they are new, so they qualify for he $4000 new construction tax credit! It also has 3 different floor plans, and you can choose alot of the finishes. It also has a great clubhouse with pool, huge living area, kitchen, workout, games, theathre room. (sorry the pictures didnt post in the order I wanted)

Meet Ava and Grady...and ????

Ava
Grady

Okay so this is kind of silly, but i thoroughly enjoyed it. Hehe. You can go to makemebabies.com and upload you and your husbands (boyfriend, partner, whomever) and it will show you what it thinks your babies will look like. I was pretty please with our DNA makeup of Ava (that is our first choice for a girl name), However Grady (first choice for our first boy), needs some work but we'll take him. Not sure where he got the curly hair or the purpose of the hardhat, but what do you do?

We also had a little mis-hap. I am really not sure if this is a boy or a girl and I pray that none of our children look like this (although thats about how ugly and awkward I was when I was a kid.) But seriously it would be really unfortunate for all of us.

Random Update

Well we are STILL waiting to hear back on the townhouse. We put another offer on a house that wasnt a short sale and they counter offered but we decided it was at the top of our budget and we didnt want to stretch ourselves too far. I am growing more impatient and frustrated everyday. We were kind of hoping to be in a place before Brian and Beckys wedding just so we could have more room to house everyone. There is another townhouse in the same complex that is listed for about $15 thousand more that is NOT a short sale. So we decided if we dont hear anything back by Sept. 20th we would make an offer on that one and hopefully could get it a little cheaper. While it costs more it would come with the appliances and blinds, which the other does not. I really dont know how much longer I can wait, its been 4 weeks now and all I think about it moving and decorating, I even went and picked out some paint colors! Mostly steele blues and grays. I already know what I want to do in every room and HGTV is always on in our house. I am even looking forward to packing and moving, I just want a house!

In other news, last weekend Becky had one of her bridal showers up at her Aunts house in Salt Lake. Brian is so lucky to marry into such a great family, I just loved all her aunts and grandmas and cousins. They were all so nice and welcoming. Here are some pictures from the lovely shower

They had a little luncheon with fruit, chicken finger sandwhiches, ice cream, and pastries

Becky and I

Aw doesnt she look so cute!
Pyrex! Yay!

To all of you wondering...

I have had alot of family and friends asking if we have heard anything on our offer on the townhouse. We have not. It is a short sale so it goes directly through the bank and they are in no hurry to sell it, even if they get an offer for what they want, it still takes 30-60 days to hear anything. I know you would think they wouldnt want to sit on houses while every month they lose money on it. But thats just how it works. It is frustrating but we are being patient. We have looked at a few other places and are putting another offer in on a short sale single family home. The house is way under priced and I think they are just trying to get attention on it, but we figure we dont have anything to lose. I wish the process was faster but most of the houses out there right now are short sales because of the adjustable rate loans and people lost there houses because they couldnt afford them when their rates when up. We are very excited to get into a house in the near future, and trust me, we will let you know as soon as we do!

(Town) House Update

Here are some pictures of the townhouse we put an offer on. The house definilty needs some redecorating but everything else is in really good shape. The master bedroom is huge and it has a master bathroom attached. We still have not heard anything back from the bank yet and I am trying not to get my hopes up but I am having a hard time not to. We are going to look at some more single family homes tomorrow morning just to keep our options open. With this townhouse it does have an HOA fee so with the money we would spend on that every month we could get single family home for a little more money without an HOA. Hope you enjoy the pictures and please ignore the decorating. Anyone who knows me know I can have this place looking a lot better in no time. Ha

The Master Bedroom
The Kitchen (it has horrible wallpaper!) but a good size and open dining area

The living room

The Masterbath (which is exactly the same as the other upstairs bathroom)

The basement is unfinished(this is only one half of it) but we plan to make still a liveable space with curtains or fabric on the wall and carpet on the floor so we can use it for my consultation room for weddings or just an extra hang out space

Last weekend Tysons sister, Kortni, got married in Pocatello Idaho. Most of Tysons family is from there so we got to see everyone and of course go to the wedding. I did the flowers for Kortni and they were so awesome. Kortni had great ideas and great style. The centerpeices and her bouquet were probably some of my favorite pieces I have ever done! They were so unique. Since I was a bridesmaid I didnt get to carry my camera around and take lots of pictures so I will post more when I get some back from her photographer. The other picture is of Tyson about to catch the football at the pool in Lava Hot Springs (about 30 minutes from Pocatello) that we went to. They just built two new slides and its a really fun pool, not quite a water park, but just as fun and the lines are so short!

Big News!

Tyson and I have been working with a Realtor for the past month or so and have found a townhouse that we love and we put an offer in on our first house! Its a short sale so we wont find out for a few weeks if the bank will accept our offer. Kind of funny, Tysons friend Casey owns the townhouse RIGHT next door, and Tyson lived there for about 3 years when we were dating. Casey is now married, to my old roommate when I first moved to utah when I was 18. The House has 2 floors and an unfinished basement. It has 3 Bedrooms and 2 1/2 Baths. If we finished the basement it would add another 2 rooms and bathroom! So there is plenty of room to grow...if you catch my drift ;) We'll keep you posted if all goes well! We are so excited to have our own place. This picture is not the exact unit, but they are all pretty much the same so you get the idea!

Weddings

This summer I have been staying really busy with Weddings and I love building by portfolio. You can check it out at www.brideandblooms.blogspot.com. I am so glad my day job is so flexibleworks perfect for my wedding business. I have truly been blessed!

Girls Weekend

Last weekend Tyson went to Colorado with Some of his buddies to go watch a few Rockies games. And I am not afraid to admit that I am afraid of staying in my house alone, especially for 3 nights. So I invited Becky to come down and hang out with me and keep me safe. We had so much fun! It was a nice make-up weekend from our Oregon trip because Brian ended up showing up for that weekend to Surprise Becky and we never got to just have our girls weekend. It was so nice to just be able to go and do whatever we wanted and no time limits! We went to color me mine the first night, and didnt finish our projects after 2 1/2 hours, so we went back the next day and finished, and before we knew it 3 hours had passed! I couldnt believe how much time we spent there but it was so fun and I know we both cant wait to get our plates back. We made "It's your special Day" Plates so one day we could look back and say we made them together. We also did lots of shopping and eating out and just had a great girls weekend!! I cant wait for Becky and Brian to get married and I am so grateful to have her in my life and all the time I have had to get to know her. I just love her to Death! Thanks Becky for coming down and keeping my company

B-O-A-T

Oh yes, he cant deny it, he is having so much fun
Okay we both look slightly retarted in this picture, but its really hard to get a good picture of yourself and someone else when you are one doesnt cooperate and while you are speeding and turning corners in a moving boat! Atleast he is smiling though!

For the fourth Tyson and I went to Bear lake with his Aunt Bridgette and their family. They were nice enough to share their campsite, food, friends, and their boat with us. I realized i forgot take a picture as we were taking the tent down, but we used our tent that we got for our wedding for the first time, it was still in the box. This picture is actually the 3rd when Josie and Kiesha came down and hung out with us. The whole weekend was so fun, but we were outside for 3 days straight for like 12 hours and I had taken all the sun I could get. My lips broke out in 4 different places with coldsores, and i even took 3 Valtrex pills! They came with a vengence. But it was so worth it. There is nothing like being on a boat. We also got to go boating with Tysons aunt and uncle Kurt and Leslie at Utah lake. We went tubing and wakeboarding. I was SO sore the next day. Also worth it. Thanks to Tysons family for being so generous with your toys!

I'm All better now!

All I needed was some good weather........AHH Finally!

I'm ANGRY!

I cant tell you how ANGRY I am right now! The ONLY thing I can stand in Utah, is the summer. Everything else about it sucks, I hate the snow, I hate the cold, I hate the roads, I hate the drivers, I hate the Zoobies, I hate the never ending construction. The only thing I have to look forward to is the few hot summer months we get after a long and miserable winter. And Apparently WE DONT EVEN GET THAT THIS YEAR!!! I hate this weather, and if it rains one more day...I really just might kill myself. Its the 4th of July and and I think we have had about 4 days of nice weather...and dont even try to debate me on this. I'm just too ANGRY!

New Love

Anyone who knows me knows I have a sweet tooth. I love candy and anything sweet! About a month ago I was craving chocolate, so Tyson and I went to wal-mart and I picked out some chocolate treats. I have never been a fan of oreos until now. I never really had them growing up, but for some reason I just cant get enough of them! And no, I am not pregnant. But I feel like I seriously could sit down and eat a whole box at once and still want more..Someone stop me, I LOVE THEM!!

Parade of Homes (if you can even call them homes)

This house and the next few pictures that follow was the first house we went to. It was probably my favorite house! The pool was so pretty and the whole deck and barbque and fireplace and everything was so gorgeous. It had huge bedrooms, tons of bathrooms, an awesome kitchen, theatre room, ballet studio, the list goes on...it was about 12,000 square feet and only 2.2 million. Not bad right?

The Play room

Biggest bathroom I have ever seen! It was probably about the size of our apartment, no lie.

THis is just the kitchen in the basement off of the theatre room, this house was absoloutly AMAZING!!! Its also the one that had the infiniti pool..this is the last picture from this house

Cute Little Craft room

I dont think i would ever want a white kitchen, but it was so pretty and calming to be in

All the decorations in this house were from this store called Alice Lane. I love everything in that store! Someday if i am ever rich...I just love her style!

I just loved this vanity and this huge mirror, it was so pretty

Theatre room, one of the many houses we went to

This was just a guest bathroom of a guest bedroom in the basement...no big deal

All the houses we went to had these huge master bedrooms with amazing views and huge sitting areas, basically another living room in their room

Loved these chairs and decorations!

Last weekend Tyson and I went to the Parade of Homes in Utah County. There were some amazing homes. My favorite house by the one in Lindon. It was so pretty and had a really unique styel and didnt look all the other utah homes. There was also a really nice, HUGE, house in Alpine that was about 13,000 feet! It had an indoor pool, sauna theatre, workout room, bedroom after bedroom, awesome deck with hot tub and horse stalls. It was really fun to see all the houses but also makes a little sad that I dont have a house, not that i need anything like these houses, but coming back to your basement apartment afterwards its a little humbling! I mostly loved all the decorations and interior decorating. ahh someday...maybe
