We found a house!

Hello all! Well, we found our house! Troy's family thought we found it really fast, but they don't know all the looking we have done the past month -- the power of the internet! The second we saw it, we knew it was by far the best house we would be able to find in our price range. I took photos, but my camera got left in a different car. I will try to post a few pics later. We had it inspected today, and all went really well. A few minor problems to be addressed, and lots of caulking for Troy to do once we're moved in. The home has been newly remodeled. All new tile and carpet throughout the whole house. No linolieum in the whole house (woohoo!) and freshly painted...white...but it will do until we can paint it...room by room! The house is about 2150 square feet. Not as large as we would have liked, but better than the 1200 we have lived in the past 9 years. It is also on a quarter of an acre lot. Troy has many visions dancing through his head of what he's going to do...starting with a basketball court and extending the deck. It has 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths. The master bath is my favorite! Complete with jetted tub and seperate stand up shower! We feel really grateful to have found this home! We close on the house either the day I have the baby, or the day I get home from the hospital...we're not sure yet! Crazy, huh? I am doing fine. The flight here was uneventful! The flight was pretty empty, and I got my own row, so I was able to keep my legs up the whole flight! I can't believe this baby will be born in less than 4 weeks! Crazy!

Our kids had a great Halloween! We let them do a little trick or treating. We had our ward trunk or treat last Saturday, so they got enough candy then. We went to my Grandma Peterson's house (just like I did when I was little) and it was fun! They had bread bowls shaped as pumpkins and plenty of chili, clam chowder, and stew to eat! It was awesome! Once again, I will post pics as soon as I download them!

Troy decided to drive to Colorado on Saturday with his dad to go to the BYU vs CSU football game. I still am wondering why it's worth a 14 hour drive (round trip) when he could watch it on tv. He claims I just don't understand...

We are also celebrating Jake's 4th Birthday this weekend, and Troy and I are celebrating our 9th anniversary next Wednesday. We got a room at the Anniversary Inn while we are here and my parents are going to watch the kids! Hopefully it will be a fun, relaxing night. Any night away from kids can't be anything but! Anyways...pics to be posted later!
