House Hunting

TJ and I have been busy lately looking for a house. I must admit that I was surprised when he suggested we move in together. I wasn't expecting that. I was actually starting to feel that he would never want to move our relationship forward. Anyway, so we went and got preapproved the beginning of March and have been looking since.

We have been looking to live a little bit closer to work so the commute won't be so long. The cities that are the options are Lehi, American Fork, and Pleasant Grove. There isn't much available in American Fork so we have mainly been looking in Pleasant Grove and Lehi.

After going through some really scary houses we think that we have found the one for us. It's a cute brick rambler located in Pleasant Grove. It's near a park and the elementary school is supposed to be really good, a plus in my department. When we first stepped out of the car we got a really good feeling about the neighborhood right off. It's on a nice quiet street, seems like there are lots of kids, and the homes in the neighborhood look really well taken care of.

The house itself is about 2500 square feet, 4 beds, 3 bath. It also has tons of storage and a large garage which it was TJ really likes. The kitchen is a bit small but we have considered that at one point we might be able to add onto it. The more and more I think about it, I think that this is a good place for us and the kids.

I have to say though, I'm really nervous. I have this vision of how things are going to be and it seems like every time I have a vision of this perfect scenario things never go how I imagined them. I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it now. I just want everything to work out. I want my girls to be happy, I want to make the right decision for them, for us, all of us. I feel like we deserve to be happy. Please...Please...Please
