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!
