Finally...

So I've finally gotten around to making a blog.  I'm hoping to be able to keep up with it, so we'll see how it goes.  

So we got a call back from the woman, Charlotte, about the house we looked at last saturday.  It's a 5 bdrm 2 bath house that's 2,400 sq ft.  It's not the best house in the world, it's older and the floor on the upstairs level squeak a lot when you walk around and there's no dishwasher.  But it has a really nice fenced in back yard and it was really big and has a fireplace.  I'm not really to sure about what's going on with it though, she called Ron and told him that the house wasn't ready...so I'm not quite sure if it's a yes or a no.  

We're going tonight to look at this amazing house in Orem, it's so nice that it's scary...if we actually got it I would be scared that the girls would mess it up.  It's so nice I don't know if I'd feel at home in it.  

*** Description of the home and yard *** 

Gently used 4,037 square foot SECLUDED home in Orem on 1/3 acre with separate in-law apartment. 

There are a total of 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 laundry rooms and much more. 

The home is currently set up with a completely separate 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment, leaving 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the main home or it can be easily used as a 7 bedroom home. 

Excellent south Orem location, close to everything, but out of the way of the hustle & bustle.

Completely separate 2 bedroom in-law apartment with its own laundry, kitchen, bathroom and outdoor storage 

Ideal age as it’s new enough to have a nice open floor plan, but has been around long enough to have beautiful established landscaping, including fruit trees. 

Privacy and seclusion along with ultra convenience

Again, if you’re the ideal renter, nearing the time to buy a home we would like to show you the home and get to know you. 



That's the discription of the house from craigslist and the link has a bunch of pictures of it.  I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and trying to stay positive and keep telling myself that eventually we'll find the perfect place...
