It's Official!!!!

The sellers have accepted our offer. Not our first offer, but our counter offer. We now have a lot of work ahead of us in the next couple weeks and are very excited to get started!!!

We are growing up so fast

Last night Scott and I put our first offer on the cutest house! It is located in West Jordan, which is a great location for us. It won’t affect Scott’s or my commute very much and is still close to family and friends. Both Scott and I fell in love with the back yard and the deck. There is a two-tiered deck in the back yard and a lot of land. Barbeques anyone??? We put our offer in as of 8:24 p.m. last night (I know the exact time because we had to write it) and the deadline for a response is 7:00 p.m. tonight. I can hardly wait! Whoever knows me really well (well I guess just knows me), understands that I lack patience. However, I must give myself a little credit….I have been improving over the past year. However this isn’t one of those times that I will be displaying my improvement of patience. I just can’t wait for 7:00 p.m. to come and find out what they say: accept, counter or reject. From what we understand, the couple might be in a need for a quick sale and we are hoping that they will just accept and not counter. I can’t wait to find our house so that I can start looking at couches and cute decorations. Below are some pictures of the house that were on utahrealestate.com. They are a little out dated, because new Pergo floors have been installed all throughout the upstairs. The only carpet upstairs is in the master bedroom and spare bedroom, which we will probably rip out. As much as we love blue carpet, I am thinking we are going to want something else.

Let me know what you think!!!! Cross your fingers they accept our offer. How exciting is all of this!!!!

We are so proud of our little Morgan!

Today, Scott and I drove up to Logan to see our sister-in-law, Morgan, graduate. She graduated from Utah State University in Education. Scott and I were very pleased with how Utah State set up their graduation this year. They had each college within the university graduate at different times. So, instead of us having to sit through the business students and engineering students, we only had to sit through Morgan's college. It made the graduation go by a lot faster and I didn't have to find too much to keep Scott entertained. After the graduation we went to Firehouse Pizza (I think that was the name) for an early dinner. Scott got a calzone and I had a delicious pasta dish. Morgan opened up her graduation gifts and I believe she was very pleased with the gift that Scott and I gave her. It was probably her most favorite gift that she got. I saw the way her face lit up when she stared at the beautiful picture we gave her. After dinner it was back on the road to SLC. So, all in all we had a very good day.

We are very proud of you Morgan and happy that we had the chance to celebrate with you! Also, I didn't have a picture of Morgan in her cap and gown or any picture from today. So, I decided to put my artistic skills to work. I don't want to sound like I am bragging, but I have been told that I am a pretty good artist. People think I should sell my work, but I prefer to use my artistic ability for special occasions, such as this one. Below is the most gorgeous picture of Morgan that, I believe portrays her to a "t". I spent countless minutes and seconds painting this. Oh and the reason you don't have any feet, Morgan, is because I ran out of room in the paint window. Sorry!
