Holy House!

So a few weeks ago Rich and I started talking and we got on the subject of houses and how great it would be for us to have one when we moved back the SLC. Well we started looking and wouldn't you know it we find one that we really like. This was last Saturday. We decided that if we are going to be serious about this we need to get down on it so we flew Rich out there on Monday. Tuesday he went and looked a some homes, nothing too exciting. Wednesday he went looking and found the holy grail of homes. Today is Thursday and we already have a bid in on the house! How is that for fast. Whew. It seems like a pretty sweet home. It's located in Sandy about half a block from the dog park, two blocks from dipple dale recreation area and about a 5 minute drive from church. Oh we are really close to trax too which would take me downtown to work! How sweet is that. Here is a picture of it.

Needless to say the past few days have been a frenzy of discussion and excitment. The home is a short sale meaning its in the very first stages of forclosure which can be a good thing or a bad thing. The previous owners owe a lot of money to the bank. We made a pretty low offer which might be accepted out of desperation or rejected because the amount is so large. We are just going to have to wait and see and that is going to be the hard part. The best thing about this house is it already has dog door!

This is the greatest news ever! How exciting!! All I can say is be patient...we put an offer in on a short sale townhouse and it is very SLOW! I know you will find the right place for your little family. Keep us posted!
