So I'm pretty sure we are now owners of a new condo! I'm so excited about it! It is absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. Actually no, it's better than what we were looking for!
It's kind of a crazy story, we really weren't planning on moving anytime soon. But for some reason we started looking more for fun and ended up becoming serious about it. It just felt like the right thing for us to do. Dan's job has been going great, and we have decided to stay here a little longer than we had originally planned. Seriously, from the first time I met Dan, he could hardly wait to get out of Utah. He likes it here, except for the snow! He hates cold and hates snow. But sometimes you meet the girl of your dreams and end up staying in places you never would have :) Once we got married Dan's plan was to get out of Utah as soon as I graduated. Well I'm graduating in December and it looks likes we will be staying in Utah much longer. Thus... we're buying a condo! We're sick of throwing away money month after month to rent and we are excited to actually own something and truly feel at home.
The condo is located in Pleasant Grove, which is about 10 min. north of Provo. It's a good location because I found out I will be student teaching in Alpine School district, which is just north of Provo. So that works out great. It's a little further commute for Dan, but we figured it would be fine.
It's 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and brand new. My favorite things about this condo are the granite countertops, the matching black appliances, the huge master bedroom, the huge walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and the his and her sinks in the master bath. It also has a really fun balcony that I can hardly wait to BBQ on. It is something I never thought we could afford. But I know that we have been blessed to find the perfect place for us that is within our budget! The minute I walked into the living room/kitchen of this condo, I knew I wanted it. I even said "ok, let's buy it! I don't even need to see the rest!" However, I'm glad we did, because it just kept on getting better!
For those in the area, we will definitely have to have you over once we are all settled in. We don't plan on moving in until August, but by that time I will for sure post photos!
