BIG NEWS!!!

Okay friends and fam, I'm sure by the title of this post you're wondering what in the HECK the big news is.  Just to get things straight right from the start, we are NOT expecting any additions to our family in the next 9 months... so you can breathe easy now:)  However, with the help of my wonderful and oh-so-helpful father, we will be moving back to Rexburg to live in a HOME... OUR VERY OWN HOME!!!  We're homeowners!!!  Ross and I did the numbers a while ago, and although our rental situation was great back in the 'burg, we would've spent A LOT of money renting for the next 2.5 years and would've received NONE of it back in the end.  So, we started looking around, getting our feet wet as to what real estate was like in Rexburg.  We also talked to some friends of ours who work with Ross, and 2 of the couples live in manufactured homes.  To make a long story short, we found a practically perfect home in a great community where 2 friends already live, and 3 other couples (also good friends) are looking to buy!  Now, it's not the Taj Mahal, but we don't NEED the Taj Mahal right now... and I'm not sure we ever will, for that matter.  Anyway, we are so happy with it, which is kinda crazy because we haven't even seen it in person yet.  However, we were in touch with the previous owners quite a bit (a young married couple as well), and we (myself, Ross, and my interrogative, anal, LOVING father) feel that we are getting a deal and that this will be a great starter home for us.  There have been several recent upgrades to the home, and we feel confident that this is an awesome way to start out our married lives in the quaint college town we love:)   

So obviously LOTS has happened in the past week... but buying a home is just the start!  I'll post more pics and stories of our adventures to Santa Fe when it's NOT 2 am, and when I'm a little more coherent... 

LIFE IS GOOD.  We are so blessed...
