Finally a post

We have had a lot of great things happen to us in the last few months. The biggest one is that we are finally Home Owners! Yay! It was quite the frustrating experience because we looked at so many homes. During 4 months, we looked at about 25 homes, considered building, put offers on 16 of them (yes, 16!), fell absolutely inlove with 3 of them, finally we found one we liked and our offer got accepted. In case you're wondering why it took so many homes, when we were house hunting, about 85% (I really want to say 99.99%) of the homes were short sales, which are a big pain! Once the offer got accepted, our loan got processed in 3 days (thanks to Andee), we closed 2 days later and moved in 3 days after that. Thanks to the in-laws for helping us move so quickly; we got everything moved in in just one day! Something we were worried about was selling our apartment lease, it would have cost us almost 2 months rent just to break the lease, but we found some girls that loved our apartment and took over our lease.

I have no current pictures of the house since we are still, yes 4 weeks later, putting stuff away. I obviously wanted to make it home immediately, so we have started painting and I believe Brett is halfway done with that job. By the way, we bought our home in Lehi, somewhere in the middle for both of our jobs.

Another thing is that I finally got the surgery I needed in my eye, and coming to see my family in Peru is a huge plus. I do miss my hubby a lot. Surgery wasn't too bad or painful, the bad part is having 10 stitches in the eyeball and having to spend 10 days inside the house without going anywhere. So not much of a vacation, but I am getting super pampered by my family and enjoying delicious food (which means getting at least 5 pounds heavier). Been inside the house so many days is also the reason for the long random blogging. Today is the first day I get to spend some time with my computer for more than 5 min a day (strict doctor orders). Just one more day before they take out my stitches! yay for me!

I haven't had a chance for many pictures with my family either, but I did get this one with my lovely sister before the surgery.


On a side note, our puppies are finally ready for sale! We already sold one and have 2 more for sale. In case interested or know someone interested in AKC Maltese http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=15962056&cat=105&lpid=&search=maltese.
