Alright. Here is the news you have all been waiting for. Barry and I are BUYING A HOUSE!!! I apologize for those of you who have heard the story already but:
A few weeks ago, we got a letter stating that our apartment rent was being raised by $100 bucks. They have been updating all the empty apartments to these BEAUTIFUL tiled places, and our retro orange shag carpet, straight out of the seventies apartment rent would only be 20 dollars cheaper than the nice apartments, and they wouldn't even update ours. We, well I was extremely upset, so Barry, trying to cheer me up, took me to get hamburgers and icecream. We were driving around eating (and venting) when we drove past this cute little house on this cute little street.
One of the ladies in the musical I'm directing is a realtor, so we called her and she said she would meet us over at the house. She came right over, let us in, and we fell in love with the house. It's just two bedrooms but it has a lot of storage space and a HUGE back yard! We also found out that it is EXTREMELY Cheap, and with taxes, the mortgage payment is CHEAPER than our new rent. We prayed about it, went to the bank just to see if we could even qualify for a loan, and got approved for just the right amount! We both feel REALLY good about this decision, so we made an offer, got a counter-offer, re-counter offered, and the seller accepted our bid! AND, we are getting a new Stove out of it! haha! So, we are VERY VERY excited! The best part is my Extremely Worrying mother, said for some reason she also felt really good about our decision! That's a BIG DEAL! Sooooo... We signed the paperwork and now are in the process of closing.
The only bad part is that we have to wait until December 8 to move in!!! Fortunately, "winter" doesn't even start here until February, and ends in March! haha! So, BRING ON THE STRESS! We are MOVING to our FIRST home! YEAH!

That is great. I love when things fall into place like that.
And December 8th is a good day (Whitney's birthday).
That's awesome Krystle! We hope to buy our house soon too. We have been pre-approved for our loan, now we are just looking for the perfect house.
Congrats! Guess that means you aren't moving to Utah too soon.
You forgot to mention that it is located literally down the street from us! We are really excited to have you so close! Brian is thinking up all sorts of weird and silly things to give for a housewarming gift, you've been warned (just kidding). We can definitely help you move in or watch Grayson or whatever you need us to do.
