"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Wahoo!!

Well...it's official! We are homeowners! I kept it underwraps mostly because we had bad luck with the other home we were trying to buy but after looking at about 20 more homes we decided on one almost a month ago and went forward with it! I absolutley LOVE it!! Funny thing is I didn't see it in person until after we made an offer on it. One saturday Chad and I looked at about 15 homes with our realtor (YUK!) We found one and we were going to make an offer but we really liked one that we saw on the internet. It was not in the area that we had been looking at and our realtor said we could go another day to see it, well we had been burned so many times on other homes we loved that we didn't want to wait. So, we came home and put Carly to bed. Chad then drove to the house and knocked on the door. He loved it and I trusted him (I know, that can be scary!) So we made an offer on it and they accepted. Then I went to look at it and I loved it also. We went to the title company today and closed on it so now it is all ours!! I was going to get pictures tonight when we were over there but I forgot. You can look at pictures if you go to www.6503glenhill.com The wallpaper for sure is coming down and we'll do some painting but other than that it is perfect for us! (I'll post more pictures later)

Wow! This house is sooo cute! Man, I am jealous of how much space you have and the big yard and pool! I can't believe the price either! Our house would sell for more than that here and it is like 1/3 of the size! Hmm... let's move to Texas!
