Happy news!!

I know I haven't posted a new enrty in a few months, but for very good reason. We were approached by a couple in our ward a few months ago who offered to sell us their house for a really good deal. We weren't in the market for a house, but it was such a good deal that we couldn't pass it up. They paid an almost $10,000 down payment for us as well as all of our closing costs, and sold it to us for below the appraisal price also. There's no way we would have been able to buy it without their help. So anyway, I've been very busy finding financing, packing, moving, and unpacking. We closed escrow on our first home on July 6th. We are so excited!!

And on to the house. It is a nice 2004 manufactured home (the same size home in a site built would have been way out of our price range at about $300k here in Payson) on a fifth of an acre. It is 1800 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a separate living room and family room. The master bath has a large garden tub, which Kaden calls his swimming pool. He loves to take a bath in it. We have already been having fun doing little projects. Brent can't wait to do some landscaping also. This has been an excellent opportunity for us to won our first home, especially since we already have some good equity in it from the beginning. We are very thankful to the Park family for helping us out so much!

We are all doing good, healthy and happy!!! We would love for anyone to stop by and see us any time you are in Payson.
