We put an offer down the end of September, the same night that another offer came in, so we had a suspenseful 24 hours until we found out that we got the house! It's actually a new town home, so we got to pick our counter tops, tile/wood floor, paint color, cabinets and carpet, it was so fun! Then we had to wait the 6-8 weeks for them to finish the building process, we took pictures each week and it was fun to see it slowly come together. We had our walk through on November 18th, and closed on the 19th, started moving in on the 20th. We were so excited to move in that we were out and about until after midnight (which is way late for us) taking loads of furniture and random belongings. We had such wonderful help, my parents were awesome and took a couple of car loads for us, Tyler Tingey and his trailer saved the day, and Lonnie Keith was such a huge help! It's so nice to finally be moved "out" and now it's a matter of moving "in" that will take some time.
We had a fabulous realtor, his name is Robert Hulme, who is actually my uncle, and he was so awesome! We couldn't have gotten this house without him, he worked so hard and was so great to work with through the whole process. So if you're looking for a realtor I strongly recommend him! :)
It's been a crazy couple of months but we are so excited to be in a new place, meet new people and have a whole new bunch of memories in this place, our first place!

congratulations!
How exciting! You're close by to us. It sounds like you did a very similar thing buying your first place too. We bought a new townhouse and chose the lot and everything inside as well, and then had to wait 3 months for it be built. We've been here over a year and a half now and still love it! Welcome to our side of the valley! : )
YAY! Congrats Becca! We should have a roommate reunion when Jessie comes back to Provo in January and we could all see you cute new home!

Congrats!! That's very exciting. It's pretty cool that you got to pick out your own stuff for it. Just a heads up- you're never going to stop thinking of things to do to make it yours. We've been in our house for 2 1/2 years and still have a list of stuff we want to do. It's fun to make it your own!
Way exciting news! Congrats becca!! Make sure to put lots of pics up!!
You know I thought the big news was going to be that you were prego, but then I thought to myself if she didn't tell me and I found out through her blog I would be very upset! Just for future reference :) Love you! (And your house)
