Case closed

Today Randall and I closed on our first home. It has been a long complicated process but we are grateful to have it be over. After nine years of marriage and many, many moves later(you'd think we were a military family) we actually get to call a place our own. Finally we can paint and do whatever else we want with the place. The kids all have their own room. We can have an animal if we want(we don't) and we can stay there as long as we want. A crazy idea isn't it? So here's to us and our mortgage, hurray!

Yay :) I am so excited for you guys. Send your kids over while you are packing to get them out of your hair! If you need help with anything at all, let me know. So if you closed today instead of Tuesday are you going to 7 Peaks and does lunch on Wednesday work?

Hooray! Let us know when you need our big muscles to help you move.

I thought you didn't want that place cause it was too close to the dumpster. Congrats though. Now you can keep Jana busy since Amberly and I are gone and going to be gone. You also need to get to know Kimberly and Josh. They have three kids too. When we had our place there I still didn't paint. I got too nervous.

Congrats!! When do you move in? Is it any closer to South Jordan??? I miss hanging out with you guys. We were in AZ over the weekend and we drove through Greentree and it reminded me of all the fun chats we used to have. By the way, I am glad your blog got fixed so I can at least see what is going on.

Congratulations! Red is always a great color to start to paint with... you get all of your trepidation over and done with. Then any other color you choose seems muted and great by comparison!

Jensen said...

Congratulations!
You will have to email me your address. Christmas cards will soon be upon us!
Have fun moving:)

Amberly said...

So happy you're back! We definitely need to go out soon! Maybe a little molten chocolate lava cake???

Lisa said...

Happy Day!! We are so excited for you guys. It is the greatest feeling having a home of your own! Are you moving very far or staying in the same area! Congrats! Are you painting red? Just a little advice about that one. We painted Kennas room red and it was crazy. We painted five coats and it still has streaks. I learned that Ralph Lauren red paint is the best! It is also very important to get a slow drying paint.(things I wish I had known)

Adam said...

i want choco. molten cake, my very own.

Ashli, im watching you.

I can see you.

I know what your doing right now.

isnt it so great to live so close to eachother. now i never have to wonder what you are doing, just a little peek out my window and wahoo! it would help if you would keep your blinds open.
