WE ARE HOMEOWNERS

Yes i'm serious, we made the giant leap of faith and closed on a house in Vista, california! (Just north of downtown san diego-30 mins or so) So looks like we are gonna be permanent here! which is good cause its a good place to be, only wish my fam was a tad closer, but maybe someday they will see the light!


Its older, 1978 it was built. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. 2600 sqft. And i would post pictures but it needs a lot of help first. Yup its a bit of a fixer upper. we just maybe got in over our heads, but we'll see. its gonna be great once it is fixed up. we were in cleaning on monday and taking down wallpaper and after getting hardly anywhere the saying from President Monson popped in my mind, "Joy in the journey" so even though things couldn't be more stressful right now with everything, i decided if i enjoy the process it will go much better and it will be a great memory to always have!

so stay tuned for the great before and after pics! sometime hopefully sooner rather than later!
And eventually we will have place to have you all come visit when you come to sunny san diego!!!

Yeah! I'm glad it all worked out. Maybe you'll have it all fixed up by the time we come and visit...or maybe that's wishful thinking!

Wow, I can't believe you bought a house down there! But, I guess now is the time with the market, huh? How exciting! Lizzy will have lots of room to run around. And you will have fun with all the cleaning :) I remember moving from our 2 bedroom apt to our house and being amazed at how much I had to clean this house. It is totally worth it though!
