House hunt over....hopefully.

After almost three months or so of house hunting we finally got ourselves a home. We had been mostly looking in the sugarhouse area because we like it so much, but soon found out that the houses were a little small. We did however find one we liked between 2700 s and 3300 s above Highland dr. and put an offer on it, but somebody else beat us to the punch and we lost it. It was really frustrating for a while there because everyone kept saying how bad the market was, but as soon as we found a house someone would swoop in and buy it. BUT finally on Monday we had decided to stop looking in sugarhouse and focus on East Millcreek/Holladay area and SUCCESS. We found one that was perfect. Good size, good area, nice backyard with a view of Mt. Olympus. The house inside needed a little bit of work but we decided that wasn't a big deal because everything else was great. So Wednesday morning we put an offer on it (after Billy had a couple of panic attacks). We thought for sure they were going to come back with a counter offer or once again someone else had put a better offer in than ours. But Wednesday night Billy gave me a call and told me they accepted out first offer!!!! Yeah!!!! We are super excited, and a little nervous at the same time. We close at the end of this month so hopefully everything goes well and when we have the inspections done on Monday we don't find anything major wrong with the house. So here are a couple of pictures of our new place:
