I think I can officially say we are buying a house! I feel like this great opportunity just fell into our hands. We have decided that we will stay in Salt Lake for a little while longer. Caleb will get his CFI rating and start flight instructing soon, which will be a good way to build up experience. This seems like a good choice for our family, as I really enjoy my job and we love all of our friends and family in the area. This being decided, we have been looking at houses. Originally, we thought we would wait until summer to move. However, we found this great house that was half built. I guess the original owners lost their job and had to back out. We looked at the house and loved it, loved the price, and loved the incentives that they were offering. Therefore, we bought it. It all happened pretty quickly. In the last three weeks we signed the paperwork, picked out all the design options (which was amazingly fun) and our loan has been approved. We are expected to close in 30 days! Our life has been an overwhelming whirlwind, and as Caleb says, the sales agent is my new best friend because I am always on the phone with her. Nobody told me buying a house was this stressful!! Anyways, our house has 3 bedrooms and a den, a two car garage, a lot of windows, and the inside will be beautiful when they add all of our design options! I'm thrilled. Here's a few pictures.

This is the outside of our house, the colors will all change except for the brick on the columns
This is the start of our kitchen

This is the start of our laundry/mud room, which is already one of my favorite rooms because I love our cabinets
Hopefully you all like to look at pictures of houses because I have a feeling there will be a lot coming up....
