Well, I'm officially a full year behind on this blog :(
It's time for much needed catch-up
Thursday, October 6th, 2011: We walked though THE HOUSE!!
After looking at over 70 homes in 7 months, offering on 3, we finally found the one that felt perfect!! It was a short sale and had been on the market for 1 day. We immediately offered on it that night and were accepted by the owner by Monday!! The whole process went fairly quick compared to other short sales I'd heard about. There was a little hiccup around Thanksgiving, but when that got all sorted out, we were in the clear!! We were able to close/fund/and get keys on Friday, December 23rd!! It was the BEST Christmas Present EVER! We cleaned the 23rd and 26th. Then moved in on the 27th! We had awesome friends and family help out a TON those days.
*most of these first pics were taken during our 2nd walk through.
Kids rooms and bathroom.
I LOVE the Window Seats!
Master Bathroom
Many angles of the main floor/kitchen.
Backyard/side yards
*needed a TON of work

12-23-11 Closing Day!!!!!
First time in OUR house!! It was freezing cold in and out.
Jaina looks so tiny in that window seat!
Karri came down with dinner and to help!
The kids had a grand time setting up all the little people, trying to keep busy in the empty house.
12-27-11 Moving day!
We had been boxing things up slowly for over a month!
Friends Matt Marshall and Eric Westover helping load the truck.
The kids room looking quite empty! I'm still amazed they all survived being in the same room together for so long!
Time to UNLOAD!
I am SO thankful that we had a dry winter so we didn't have to deal with the snow while moving.
Getting the girls room set up.
Mara was super excited to have a princess canopy for her bed.
Jaina took over the stairs immediately!
