I married my best friend two years ago and we are expecting our first little one in June. Riley is still pursuing his mechanical engineering degree and I'm working at a gym teaching fitness classes. We are so blessed and love all the insane things life has to bring.

Home Sweet Home

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!

        After a year of searching and many offers made we finally nailed one!  Not just any one, the PERFECT one. 
We really wanted to find a home for sale by owner and without a realtor.  We quickly found out that unfortunately this isn't really possible, so we got a realtor to show us some places.  We put in a few offers and didn't get any of them.... Frusterated we decided to take a break from house hunting, and thats when it happened.  We found a house on KSL that was in our price range, a location that we preferred and get this, it was for sale by owner! We jumped on it pretty quick took one look @ it, fell in love and made an offer with no realtors involved (no offense to any realtors out there) 
Riley of course is always looking for a good deal, and offered about 10 grand less than the asking price.  Thinking that we would probably not get it at that price, we were prepared to pay full asking price just to make sure we got it.  What do you know, two days later Riley called me @ school and told me we got the house, and for less than the asking price! 
I couldn't believe it. Literally. I made him pinky promise me that he wasn't kidding. 
The loan process began and one month later we were moved in.  We were actually moved in the same day we signed the papers... we were just a little excited. 
     The outside needs a little lovin' but the inside is immaculate and I can't wait to decorate those walls. 
I can't believe how blessed we are, we got more than we ever expected to get right now.



The backyard is so cute, and all ready for little ones to come along... someday.


 A treehouse! How cool is that?
