One year down....

Well my friends this exact day last year we received the keys to our new house (after living with my brother for 2 months). It was a long journey buying a house and finding the best possible one for our family. We looked and looked and looked and then we found a beautiful 3 bedroom condo and when we were originally looking we said NO CONDOS... but the more we thought about it we decided a condo would be perfect NO LAWN TO MOW, NO LEAVES TO RAKE (for me that is since Riley is always gone). This condo just kept pulling at us and pulling at us and we walked through it probably  3 or 4 times before we decided to put an offer in... We got the place and then had the long waiting for the rural loan to go through like 2 months waiting. But once it happened we were ready.

We got the keys and instantly were painting and cleaning.

Since then we have taken it room by room and very slowly are changing things and making them they way we want. We have all had a birthday in this new house, had our first Christmas in the new house and several other fun memories. (oh also we had to get a new AC unit)

Eagle Mountain has been great for us. We got on several walks a day to the gas station to one of the many many many parks around or the the splash pad. There are several trails everywhere and perfect for bike riding to farther parks. We have great friends that we spend all afternoon and nights with just riding bikes or playing in the water.

We love living in Eagle Mountain. Our kids have amazing friends with amazing parents and we have made amazing friends. It is such a young area that everyone is in our situation with young kids it is so fun. We look forward to the next 5 years out here and to see all the fun people we will get to meet.
