oly Cow! I still can't believe it but we bought a house! After looking online for the last year and walking through places for the past month and having two other houses taken from under us, we have finally put in an offer that was accepted. We just have the inspection and closing left. The house is a cute 1935 house in the historical part of Payson. It is right across the street from the old Payson Park witch is awsome! The park is where all of the Payson Onion Days festivities take place and the Payson Scottish Festival. Every sunday night in the summer they have free band concerts and the big Payson parade goes right in front of our house. Erin and my favorite restaurant is just a couple of blocks away. It's this really cool little Thai resaurant where the people don't speak English. The house itself is so amazing. It has a lot of character. Lots of custom built-ins, a cool fireplace, 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, a great backyard with mature trees which are perfect for a slackline. The Kitchen is a good size which excites Erin. The house is in good repair but outdated. We are going to be taking down wallpaper and pulling up carpet, which is covering beautiful wood floors. It will be a lot of work but we are so excited.

Some other exciting news is that Erin passed her LPN boards and started working as a nurse 2 weeks ago. The expectation of this is what solidified our descision to buy a house. Anyway, thats our news.
