The word is getting out. We bought a house! We are SO super excited. It came as quite a surprise to even us. But we found a great place, the location is perfect (except that it bumps us just out of our ward boundaries), and the price was right. We put in an offer thinking it would take at least a couple of weeks before we heard back (since it's bank owned), but to our surprise our realtor called us two days later and told us the bank accepted our offer (Even though we weren't the highest bid. Gotta hand it to having good credit). We are hoping to close by the end of this month (middle of February at the latest) and move in by the end of February. The house does definitely need some work. The previous owners did not take care of it and must have been pretty mad when they were kicked out, cuz they did what they could to mess it up. So we will be getting new appliances, painting the whole house, and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. It's four bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath and a little over 2100 square feet. And the best part is that is has a yard. Not a large one, but a decent enough one for the kids to run around and play. We'll keep you updated as time goes on, but in the meantime here is a picture of the outside.

Congrats Amber! Cute house. So just wanted to say thanks for your comment on my blog. It is Dawn Andrus. I know you didn't know her really well, but say a little prayer for her if you don't mind. She's had a pretty rough couple of days.
