It all started on May 21st when we loaded the car and headed off to Arizona. We had a family vacation to Mexico planned for May 30-June 5th and we decided it would be smart to leave a week early so that we would have a week between the trip from Utah to AZ and the trip from AZ to Mexico. Also, Glen accepted the job in AZ so we figured we could take the time to look at what houses were available. It's amazing the prices some of those houses are listed for. Unfotunately, most of them are shortsales which take forever and sometimes don't work out or end up selling for a lot more than they are listed for. We went out with a realtor on Tuesday and we liked a couple of the houses. One that we thought we liked we saw in the dark because the power was not turned on and it was late. However, it was not a shortsale so we decided to take a look at it in the sunlight the next day and if we liked it, we'd put an offer on it. We ended up really liking it. It is the same layout as my brother's house and only about a mile away from him. We put an offer on it and there were a couple of counter offers but we ended up with a smokin' deal. All that is left is the appraisal and final loan approval. It has four bedrooms and lots of space so there will be room to grow. We plan on living in Arizona for at least five years so Glen can get his Masters. Of course the house is not for sure yet but we are praying hard! Here are a few pictures:
Everything with the house has gone so smoothly, it's hard not to think it is right for us.
Then we went to Mexico on Sunday, May 30th with the whole family. It was so much fun! Last time I was there, Glen and I were dating and this time I was married and had a sweet little baby! A lot changes in 2.5 years! I think I will make a new post for that though....
