Our Revamped Frontroom

It has been almost a year since we bought our home and we wanted to show off our Frontroom. Before as you see in the photo marked Living Room, of which was taken before we bought the home, the walls are painted a really light beige color which we did not like at all. We have now painted it a Roasted chestnut (light brown) color that we totally love. The only thing left to do in this room is refinish the floor, put crown moulding on the cieling.  Enjoy the pics. More painting and such in other rooms to come.

Let it Snow Let It Snow

20 yes I did say twenty inches in the last 48 hours with a possible of 1-2 inches more overnight than a break with the temps getting close to O degrees farenhight for the low and the high is not to clear 32 with another storm coming this weekend. JaCoby and I are lovin the snow, but mom is not too thrilled about it.

It is Official

We are officially homeowners!!

You know it is kind of funny how people get so excited to have a huge amount of debt. It is such a relief to have the whole process done and over with. So long renting, hello ownership.

paint job

On Saturday, September 26th, the sellers and us painted the facia and window seals of the house so that it might pass apprasial. They let us choose the color and I chose Cinnamon Spice, which is a brown color. We thought this color would look great. JaCoby has been so excited to paint so we let him work on the front door changing it from the peachish-pink color to the Cinnamon Spice.

JaCoby painting away!!

Before (upper) and after (lower)

In the near future the awnings will be painted the same cinnamon spice color

By the way this past Friday, it appraised enough to cover the loan, which is exciting news.

The Move

After 2 straight days of moving (friday & saturday). We finnaly have startedthe unpacking process and starting to feel a bit more comfortable. The neighborhood has been wonderful and very welcoming. Boy are we glad the move is over.

Good News & Bad News

Sorry for the lack of updates. Yes, we were supposed to close on the house yesterday. I have good news & bad news on this. The bad new is there was a glitch that came up on our side with the financing that will soon be taken care of. The good news is that we are moving in a few weeks into this house.

Update

An update on the house. The offer we put in was accepted. The house is in Spanish Fork. The inspection of the home is tomorrow, so cross your fingers that all goes well. If all goes well, we should be able to close before the 30th of June. I would show you more pics, but my printer and computer are not on speaking terms. Go figure! I guess one said something to the other that they did not like. Just kidding. When I am able to get some pics, I will be sure to post them.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE

Hey my computer and printer are on speaking terms again, so I was finally able to scan the pics from the flyer. Sorry, I haven't taken any personally yet.

Round 3

For those of you that have been keeping up with our Blog, you would know this is the 3rd house in a year and a-half that we have put an offer on. Coincidentally they have been in 3 different cities. Maybe the 3rd time is the charm. I sure hope so. I am not leaking any details on this particular one until things become more clear on the game of purchasing a home. I will keep you all updated though.

Nope not that one!!

Well that house was not. We will try to look for the right ONE Thursday and see what happens. More post to come.

Could this be the one???

On Thursday, we went house hunting, after looking at a few houses, we found one that could be the ONE. We put an offer in for it and it was accepted late Friday. So now we have to play the waiting game with loan, inspections, and everything else. I will post more info as it comes available. Wish us luck.

Our House

Here are the photos, (taken by Tennille) of the house as requested by Megan. :)

Beautiful yellow rose bushes by the driveway.

Update

ok so the pictures look a little bit dark and it makes the rooms look even darker but I promise as Coby said it is so much better looking and seriously it was an all out bidding war between the 3 different people...talk about crazy. I think Coby did a good job on the video recording but for some reason if it doesn't work when you click on it we will try to get that fixed. Wow can you believe we are going to be proud home owners.....

House Hunt

I said I would give an update of the house hunt so here goes. After loking at quite a few houses, we found one we fell in love with. Here it is: The video is one of the first I have taken with our camcorder, so bear with me. The photos nor the video do the house justice to what it really looks like. The photos are ones off the internet that were taken when it was listed, not mine.
