Update on our Adventure to the 801

So Dan was able to apply for some more loans and we found out this week that he qualified for them! That pretty much made my day! Not the fact that we have to take out loans, but the part where I get to stay at home with my girls. Once we found out about our loans, we headed down to Utah and toured about 5 apartments/townhomes/houses. We actually loved 3 of them so it was hard to narrow it down. We decided to call and put our deposit down on a town home in Provo but could never get ahold of the landlord! So we took it as a sign to not live there and moved on to our next option. An apartment in Orem. Right when we got off the phone with that place, the townhome people called us back and told us it was ours haha. Oh sheesh.
So we headed back to Idaho at 1 in the morning and felt relieved to have found a place.
WELL…. we were suppose to meet with that apartment manager on the next monday, so on Sunday I had this impression to check out the reviews on the place. Turns out they were all AWFUL! So we felt bad about bailing on the nice guy we bought the contract from, so Dan called to talk to him about what we read on the reviews. He said it was all true and that he understood that we didn't want to live there. How nice is he?!
So we went down on tuesday and toured some (8) places that we also fell in LOVE with!! this little blue town home sure caught our eye and we were determined to hate everything else we looked at. Which was the case until we came upon a 3 bed 2 bath Condo. It was love at first sight---which is weird because at first sight it looks like a crummy run-down old neighborhood. But I saw the true beauty; close to 2 little parks, 2 churches, D.I., grocery store within walking distance, cheap theatre, close to campus, and the list just getting better and better. We toured the place 2 hours earlier than our appointment because I was so excited. We did one walk-through, went down to talk about it, walked right back up there and signed a one year lease!!! I am sooo excited. Like I said, 3 bed, 2 bath. Master bedroom has its own bathroom and walk in closet. Guest bath comes with washer and dryer. Cable and google fiber internet included in the price. And 2 walk out balconies. I sure hope we love it as much as I love the idea of it. We will find out on the 17th! AHHH! that is soooo soon!!
This is at Macey's---our new grocery store in Provo that is within walking distance. AND 32 cent ice cream cones. Sylvie was determined to get a bite!
at the Airplane museum before Dan's haircut… and it was 99* 
At Cabelas! This was her favorite stop on our adventure!
