We went and looked this morning. Aaron and I both had a good feeling about it, so we went prepared with the information we'd need to fill out an application on the spot. The owner said she felt good about us. We filled out an application. She called us back this afternoon and said it's ours if we want it! Aaron's stopping on his way home from work to sign a contract and give her our deposit.

Although this house is a twin home, the aspect of sharing one side wall is not a deterring factor, especially since the wall that touches isn't any of the bedrooms or the family room. This house is a little smaller square footage than the other one we looked at, but the back yard is bigger and fully fenced and to die for! It only has a 1 car garage vs. 2 like the other one, BUT we only have one car :) And it has an awesome wood-working bench that Aaron will love, and tons of shelving to hold all his tools and our camping stuff. Aaron likes Springville since it's halfway between school and work (I'd prefer to be in Spanish Fork, but not enough to pass up this place based on only that). And probably the most important aspect of it, is that it is about $150 a month less rent than the other one. My only sad thing, is that it doesn't have the extra space for a school room like the other one had, but I still think we can make that work.

I really like the layout of the house, with the bedrooms upstairs and everything else down, I think that's a nice way to break up a living space. I love that all the closets (and there are a lot of them) have custom shelving in them. I love that there is a little "toy room" closet under the stairs. There is a crawl space for extra storage.

The owner also told us that there are TONS of kids in the neighborhood that are around Lincoln's age, and we're really close to two parks and the library. She said the kids programs at the library are awesome (she was one of the people in charge of story time over there). The church building is right behind the house.

So there you have it. Our new home. Obviously the furniture, etc. in the pics above are not ours, so it will look a little different when we move in, but I'm sure I'll post more pictures then. We will be moving in about three weeks, the official date hasn't been set yet, but we have to be out of our apartment by the end of the month. I'm relieved. It's so nice to have a plan.
