Here are some pictures of the new house.

As many of you know, we have moved from West Jordan to South Weber. We're very happy with the new house. We saw it early on, before we were really were serious about looking for houses. We didn't really think that it would be available by the time we sold our house. Once we got close to selling our house we looked online and couldn't find it. I assumed it had been sold. However, a friend that I work with lives in the same neighborhood, so I asked him about it. He told me that it had not been sold, but that the family who owned the house had decided to stay.

Selling our house was quite a project. We re-built and painted the fence surrounding the back patio. We painted the family room. We fixed a leak in the basement (which included redoing an entire wall). The whole thing is a pretty interesting process. A good pal of my (Jared Springer, http://www.utahdave.com/) helped us with the sale and did a great job. I recommend him highly.

Anyway, we ended up calling the family and asking if they would still be interested in showing their house. We set up a time to go look at it for a few days later. We saw a few different houses in the meantime. Also, we had been looking online at hundreds of houses. We had a really hard time finding anything that we wanted to look at. When we finally looked at this house we both just felt like it was the right place. We made an offer a couple of weeks later. Things worked out really well and we were able to move in just a couple of weeks after they accepted our offer.

This house has been exactly what we wanted. There is a basement family room that the kids have as their play room. The play room is probably the favorite room of all of ours. The kids really like having a place where they can play without getting hassled by daddy all the time. We feel really blessed to be here.
