Moving on....

So we got some bad news, the appraisal for the home we were going to move into came in lower than the purchase price, so me and Cade are moving on! We thought we were getting a great deal out of this since our realtor told us that comps in the area were coming in at $20,000 more than our purchase price, but that obviously wasn't the case. Me and Cade aren't too bummed, we figure that everything happens for a reason and this just wasn't the house for us. I'll be looking at more homes tomorrow around North Ogden up by the bench of the mountains (this is the area we originally wanted to live in). Cade is in Rawlins WY right now, so I'll be looking at the homes myself, but I have a handy little video camera I'll be taking along with me so I can show Cade. Hopefully we find one soon, but we're not going to rush into anything! We want it to be perfect!

Our New Home


Cade and I have been very busy this month looking for our first home! After lots of research and looking at tons of homes, we found one that we love! It's a three bedroom two bath split level home with a large den in the basement . Our inspector was very impressed with the home and he said it looks like the owner really took great care of it. We are so excited to be able to move in and can't wait to have a space of our own, and of course I can't wait to be able to paint and decorate how ever I want! Our home is located in Ogden Ut and our closing date is on or before April 10th.
Cade has been busy as usual with his job, and I just got hired on to work at the Olive Garden. Training starts April 6th and that's when Aubrey is due, so I'm hoping that Shayna decides to come early so I don't have to juggle that into my schedule! I let the manager know that my sister is 9 months pregnant and could have the baby at any time and that it's extremely important that I'm there. He was very understanding and told me they can work around anything as long as I let them know, so that's good! I'm still working for my Dad as a credit specialist for Crossroads Mortgage, so I'm gonna be a busy girl with both jobs! I just figure I might as well work while I can before Cade and I start having babies! I would rather work a lot then sit at home and have nothing to do at all. Anyway, that's our exciting news so far for this month. I'll try to get some more pictures posted on my blog!
