House stuff

So, some of you  may know that we are buying a house. Yes a house! We are a little bit crazy hehe. It's a really nice house in west Layton, by the Swan Lakes golf course. Well we put an offer in on March 7 and just now we are making more headway. We got a "verbal" acceptance from the bank last week and we are still waiting for the official one. The banks keep saying this day or that day so we've learned to be patient and to not get our hopes up to much.

It's exciting to think about and also really scary. I really don't like change due to the fact that I have had to move so many times but this one will be good. We can't live in an apartment all our lives. I do love our place but there are some things I will be glad to leave.

Things I am most excited about our house:

- More counter space! I will be able to put my mixer out on the counter and use it more! More room for cooking and baking.
- A garage for all the things I don't know what to do with....they get to go in the garage.
- Our own yard- It's a big yard and I am excited to plant flowers and a garden.
- Being able to do what we want with the house, i.e. paint, pictures on the wall, and someday maybe an addition.
- Having family over. We are excited to have lots of visitors. Now that we can. Our apartment has some funny rules about people staying and parking problems so that will be a nice stress relief.
- Being able to move on in life. There is a somewhat stagnant feel to living in an apartment. It's great to save on space and money especially if you are going to school but as we both just work it will be nice to feel a little more adult with a house and eventually being able to fill it with our own family.

So here's hoping that this house stuff happens soon otherwise I might have to send the bank something to speed this process along. =)
