We are moving...again...only, down the road

after too many weeks of house/apartment/duplex hunting, we fell upon this:



i went to see it on monday with scarlett and atticus and fell. in. love. as i was walking around inside i felt that this was THEE place. this is where we needed to be. now, we were not typically too stoked about living in utah county, right? but here are our reasons for justifying why we should:
1. its only about 10 minutes from the girls school they currently attend. and not to mention we will only be about 10 minutes from my in-laws.
2. it is bigger (approx 2600 sf)than what we were finding elsewhere (1200ish sf), for the same price.
3. its in a nice & decent neighborhood.
4. we literally are 2 houses & across the street from an enormous park that has two playgrounds, tons of large trees, and a huge grass area.
5. its only for about 9 months or so (until lee finds a job outside of utah, which means the girls will begin at a new school, which is why #1 is super important to us)
6. this home has 3 bdrm, 2 baths, 2 family rooms, 1 living room, 1 gas fireplace, they are including the washer and dryer for us, and the backyard is pretty large. it has a huge tree and attached to that tree are some handles used for rock climbing. you don't understand: our kids loooooooove to climb trees. and this will only exacerbate, er, encourage this type of fun.

right after walking through the place, i asked the realtor if she had time to wait for me to fill out the rental applications so i could just give them to her right then. she said she would wait. i filled them out, talked it over with lee, and heard back today that we were approved and can move in the weekend of the 13th or the 20th. of novemeber. just before Thanksgiving.

i cannot even tell you how excited i am. i've kind of been a pain in the ass the last little bit. ok, a HUGE pain in the ass (just ask lee) because of this entire waiting game. but as usual, things are now coming together and i couldn't more excited!
