MI CASA ES SU CASA
So as many of you probably already know Brit and I bought a house and finally moved in 1 week ago. It has been a long time coming (probably 7 months or so) and we have had some trials throughout the process but we feel very lucky and blessed to be able to buy a house. It is a buyers market with rates being low, housing being in general being down and we were able to get the 8,000 tax credit so that will be nice. Here are some photos (finally) for you all to see to check out our sweet pad. It's about 4 blocks North of Jordan Landing in West Jordan so the location is nice being close to all of the stores and restaurants.

Instead of posting 30 photos on here I decided to take a video and post it on You tube. Sickies!

We also were able to celebrate Easter last week, it was a busy weekend as we moved all of the big stuff on Saturday and finalized the move in. But we had a lot of help from my great friends and family. It's great to have friends that all ride dirt bikes cause everyone has a truck! Thanks again to everyone that helped. We had an easter egg hunt at Brit's Parents sunday morning. It was really fun and Brit killed it bringing in a cool 95 bucks in all of the eggs she gathered. We then had a great lunch in between conference sessions. After we went to Jen and trav's and had a hunt their with the Dyers and my mom, step-dad and Amy. We had a great time with them too and all in all we had a great Easter weekend.
This week we pretty much just spent it getting stuff ready for the house. I spent every making minute I had running around trying to get something with the house. It was stressful but fun at the same time. I now realize there really is always something to do on the house, especially when it is a 25 yr old house.
Friday night my Dad came over to the house with the Dyers. It was great to have them over and we went to eat at Jordan Landing. I really have to thank my sister Jen for all of her help with decorating and helping with the house, she has a knack for that stuff and I think she really enjoys it.
My parents came over Sat. night and we too went out to eat at Famous Dave's in Jordan Landing. It too was good have them over and show them our new house.
Today Brit and I had the opportunity the speak in the ward in Sandy before we officially start to attend out new ward in West Jordan. I thought both of us did a pretty good job. It was a great ward and we will miss it a lot. The ward was very supportive and it was great having an apostle in our home ward, we will miss it.
Until next time.

Hey Congrats on the new house!! Brit, it reminds me so much of my old house in Sandy. Maybe you can find us a house near by!!
I really like it! Thanks for the tour. You know there's a lot of the wood paneling here in the south and a lot of people just paint it and it looks really good. You're sure to have fun with all the work that goes into a house :)
Looks awesome guys! We want to come out sometime this week. I'm sorta jealous that you are all moved in and set up already. We still have that long road ahead... Love the couch too.
