We're Moving!

Our exciting news is that we are buying a house. We've been looking at homes since September but they've all been close to Davis and in our stake. Then over Christmas break we started talking about a town about 40 minutes away. It's called Roseville and what drew us there was that there's an Amtrak train station (Chris' commute), it has a lot of members of the church, homes are so much more affordable than Davis, and it helps that there's every store you can think of to go shopping at. When we got back from Texas we drove around a neighborhood, but we were still deciding. Then a couple of days later we drove around again and I had a list of homes we wanted to drive by. We went to the home that was having an open house first. We couldn't believe what we saw. Our mouths kept dropping as we looked around the house (in a good way) We loved it. And the back yard was amazing. That's why we came to look at the house. We drove to the train station to see how far away it was and then drove back and told them we wanted to make an offer. Chris and I are very indecisive people, so we couldn't believe we had just made a decision. It still felt right, so we went with it. It's been 2 weeks now and it's crazy. We've adjusted more to the idea. We're so excited with a mixture of sadness because we're moving out of Davis. We never thought we would. I guess I'm going to have to change our blog address. We're scheduled to close Feb. 20th. We feel so blessed to be buying this home. If we had waited a day longer we would have missed our chance. There are 3 back up offers on this place. Crazy.

And this is the reason why.
