Our first {home} as three + Dakota

Looks like we are going to be home owners very very very soon!

Corey and I have been looking for a home for our little family for about a month now. We have an amazing realtor {Amie Jensen - fab last name haha} and I got her by a referral from an old neighbor who is also a co-worker. He got his short-sale house through her and just loved working with her. We have only had great things to say about her now too. She works really hard to find you everything you want and pays attention to the must-haves vs the want-haves (haha)! Corey and I put an offer in on a house in Sandy right across from Alta View Hospital (the backyard is 1300 E) on March 27th I believe and expected to hear back in 48 hours. We didn't hear anything come Thursday night so Amie said Friday. Friday came and went and she said they are waiting to hear from the bank so it will probably be Monday. Needless to say, the waiting was killing me. Plus, knowing their was multiple offers in was a bit overwhelming and not knowing if our offer of just $500 over the asking price would be enough. Monday night (last night) came and I thought it was going to go... until Amie called! I texted her at 7 saying I was feeling a little discouraged and wondering if this was normal and she called at 7:19 saying we got the house! We started some paper work tonight and hopefully everything goes smoothly from here on out. Next up is an inspection I believe.

The house is in a great neighborhood that seems really well-kept. The home (OUR home!) has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and is about 1850 square feet. The location is BEYOND ideal and the view is the best part about it. Plus, we are only going to be a block from my mom which is great since Marissa still watches Jensen 3x a week. The area is exactly where I grew up and what I am familiar with. I have ALWAY wanted to live in Sandy near my childhood home and now we get to. I feel so fortunate and grateful to be getting this house and living in Sandy. Jensen is going to grow up in a great area just like I did. Lucky kid! Lucky US!
