House!

So as I said before we have been looking for a house somewhere that is closer to Sol's work. At first we focused our search in West Jordan because we thought it would be the closest place to Sol's work that we could live. I can't even tell you how many houses we saw in West Jordan and none were to our liking. First of all, everything was way out west and neither of us liked the feel of any of the neighborhoods we looked at and second, everything was a short sale. Short Sales are a freaking pain in the behind. Some of the homes we looked at had been on the market for 6-8 months and the bank still hadn't approved anything. I'm sorry, but I thought banks would want to get rid of houses like that. Obviously they don't give a crap about the buyers out there. So needless to say we were pretty frustrated and frankly ready to give up for awhile. Okay, so I know some of you out there may think we are crazy for this, but we decided to start looking in Lehi. The reasons being it really isn't that far away and most of the houses we had looked up looked a million times better then the ones we had seen before. Also, Sol grew up there and we lived there for about the first year of our marriage and loved it. We looked at a bunch in Lehi and like in West Jordan they were all Short Sales, except for one. Just on a whim we decided to look at this new build and well we fell in love. It is a great area, close to everything, it will be brand new, it will be done in about 2-2 1/2 months and it is by far the biggest we have seen for the money. So we are going to build. I never thought we would even be interested in building, but everything just seems to be coming together. We are not under contract yet, but that should happen sometime this week. We are finally getting excited about moving out and being on our own. I just hope everything works out like it should.
