Buying a House!

Yes, we did it! We bought a house and I can’t wait to live in it. We are accepted, financed, on the title and official home owners. I am super excited about moving in but that may very likely not be for about 17 years. We’ll see. Until the big move in day we will be renting, gaining equity, and have locked in an interest rate on our house before they rise up and up and up along with inflation. We bought it being as a long term home 5 bed, 3.5 baths, and an amazing park in our backyard allowing for a view of many wonderful sunsets to be enjoyed from my kitchen or family room.  Anyone need a house to rent?
Scott and I had been pondering the idea of buying a house in Utah for a few months because we weren’t sure what to do with the money we saved for a house when we decided against buying in Charleston. We talked to my cousin Lewis, a realtor in Utah, got some info on the process and started looking at houses online. We thought that we’d fly to Utah in January or February to look at houses, but when our house came along we didn’t want to miss it. We sent our parents and my sister Ashley who lives near the house over to look at the house with Lewis and got more videos, pictures, and good reports on the house details. Over the next few days I fell in love with the house I have never been in and we put in an offer. I continued to fall in love with the home and started imaging myself living there, cooking, cleaning, and relaxing.

When we do end up living there I hope to do a bunch of updates to really make it my own, but for now it’ll work great for renting. 

There was a lot more I wanted to write, but Quincy woke up from her nap and now that I get back to writing I can't remember. More on the house later?
