update on the house hunt

Well, after three months of looking for a house, we finally found one that we love!  It is in American Fork really close to the house we are living in now.  We actually will (hopefully) close sometime this week!  We won't be moving in until the end of April because we want to do some work on the main level (basically remodel the whole kitchen...it was the one thing we did not like about the house).  

We have been through some ups and downs with this house hunting though.  We put four offers on four different houses (luckily two of those houses we didn't really care about).  We fell in love with one house where our offer was actually accepted.  We even started the whole loan process but the appraisal ended up coming back lower then the purchase price.  Not a good situation so we backed out of that house but luckily found our AF house a few weeks later.   It's so nice not to worry about where we are going to live for the next few years (hopefully for along time because I don't want to move again!)

That is so awesome! I couldn't be more jealous :) You will have to put a picture of the house up, and before and after pictures of the kitchen! So happy for you guys! Good luck with everything! PS...where did you look and find your basement appt that you are renting? I'm just wondering if you had some good spots you were looking that I have missed!
