We did it! We found a home and we love it. We know if it weren't for Heavenly Father hearing our prayers we could have never found such a great deal. We actually found out about the seller accepting our offer two weeks ago, but I decided to wait for better Internet connection to post the pictures and write this post. We close on the 27Th of this month...so only a few more weeks and we can move in. It's been great staying at my brothers house and to be honest we are very comfortable. We've been able to save up money and the company is great!
Here is a little bit about our home. It was built in 2006 and is on a third of an acre lot located in Artesia, one of the first housing developments when you drive into Pahrump from Vegas. It is a four bedroom, three bath, 2500 sq. ft. home. The people who built the home decided to include all the upgrades. I never realized that things such as lighting fixtures could be an upgrade so I'm glad they did. The granite is beautiful, I love the tiling and the extra padding under the carpet is a definite plus. I think my favorite part it the master bath and walk-in closet. The closet in the master bedroom is almost the same size of our children's old bedroom. The tub is amazing. It will be such a luxury on those cold snowy winter nights. Oh yeah...we don't have those here in Nevada. The vaulted shower is just a little smaller then our bathroom was back in Wymount. We really will have more space then we know what to do with, but I'm doing my best to keep my eye out for deals to fill it. My older brother Will and sister Mindie are going to give us their old (but newer) fridge, washer and dryer. We feel very blessed. Check out the slide show above!
Ellie and Gent will miss living with their Cousins, but they are thrilled to be staying here in Pahrump. I can't wait to have Zion in her own room so we can go back to sleeping through the night. We are excited about our new church ward as well. We miss our old neighborhood and community in Provo but we are anxious to be making memories in this new one.
*Oh and Tim is still loving his job! Just last week on Sunday night he said "I would be sad that the weekends over, but I love my job so much that I don't mind."
*I'm getting better with my runs. I've got my 5k down to 36 minutes. My goal is to be down to 32 minutes by the end of this summer. Little by little.
