we are official home owners!
it has definitely been a looooooong time coming.
we have been looking for houses for about a year, and SERIOUSLY looking for about 6 months. we have seen so many houses i had pretty much decided we would never find one that we loved. and i was seriously embarrassed because our realtor (even though he is dawson's brother) probably thought we were the pickiest people in the world.
but it all ended last wednesday.
dawson was at work, but andrew (his brother) had seen that a house in the area we wanted had just got put on the market. even though daw was at work, i went with my mom and andy to see it anyway because he thought it would sell fast.
walking through it, i loved it. it might be hard for some people to look at a house straight out of the 70's (and oh it was) and visualize their dream home, but i could see it. we wanted a fixer upper and this was the perfect one.
i told andy to put an offer in. this might sound like a big deal, but it wasn't. we had made offers on so many houses and nothing ever came of it, so i figured this would be the same thing.
the next day we got a group text from andy that said, "you guys ready to buy a house?!!". our offer had been accepted! my first thought was that he was joking and then when i realized he wasn't, i panicked. dawson hadn't even SEEN the house yet! and WTF, are we actually even ready to buy a house (that needs a total remodel?!
well long story short. dawson saw the house that night while i was at work and loved it too (good thing since we had pretty much already said we would buy it). we moved forward and 9 days later we closed and had the keys in our hand.
WOW.
ready or not, say hello to utah's newest home owners!
wish us luck.
