Dear house of our dreams,


Where are you? Stu and I have been looking for you for a little while now. A perfect little place to raise our rowdy boys in someday. I know you're out there somewhere. In fact, I've caught little glimpses of you in my dreams and you look a little like this... only MUCH less expensive. Alright, well feel free to show your face any time now, thanks.

Love,
Still Renting in Mesa



Yep, it's true! Stu and I are on the lookout for our first home! We are really excited and have toured a few already but haven't found anything that feels "right" for us quite yet.
We are so excited for this new adventure and can't wait to find the perfect place! It might be a couple months until we figure it out, so we've resigned our lease here for a few months! We're excited to have more time in this ward [that we LOVE] and be so close to our friends for a little while longer. So, I guess if you know of anything in your area and want some wicked awesome neighbors, let us know!

How exciting!! What a big step... I am sure you will find the right one soon enough, and when you do, you'll know! :)

Not sure where you're looking, but an awesome house just went up for sale by my sister. She just called me to tell me so I could keep an eye out for good neighbors for her. :) She loves her ward and neighborhood. Its on Greenfield and Adobe...I think its 4 bedrooms and has a pool. Anyways, let me know if you're interested and I'll tell you more. Its for sale by owner so it wont be up on the MLS.

Thats a cute house! You should
Come to Washington All the older neighborhoods look like that!
I am so excited for you! What a big step!
Joel and I are saving our money for a home but I'm not sure I want to buy a home here in Tri-cities WA.
I guess I am just afraid there will be something coming up around the corner and I'm kind of hoping it means moving. Not that I hate Tri-cities I just think theres more out there for us. yah know?

Yay a new house!! Looking is so exciting yet so frustrating at the same time :). There's a couple for sale in our neighborhood around stapley and brown and we love our neighbors!

PS- even though stu wants rowdy boys, make sure he knows it's necessary to have at least one girl (he has to be wrapped around someone's finger :) That's what I have been telling Shane. haha!!

That house is adorable! Having your own house is SO fun but hunting for it is SO not (in my opinion) good luck! :)

how fun! That is so exciting! It is a very long process, but in the end it is so worth it to have your own home! Good luck! I would say move out by us...but it's a little far. We LOVE our ward though! :)

I hope you get to stay in the ward, I would miss you terribly! I just think the world of you and think you are an amazing woman! Good luck!

Hey lady! I sent you an email on facebook... I know you said you never check it so hopefully you check this more often and know to look :)

That is so exciting. I have been dreaming of our dream house to raise a family in, too! I can't wait to see the lucky house you choose! Good luck with everything!

I totally saw this picture when I was googling ideas for how to paint our new house!!! And I thought it was the cutest little garden cottage, ever!

Happy hunting! I'm sure you'll find something amazing!
