It's Townhouse Time!!!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted on this blog. Tenille can't seem to put down Breaking Dawn right now though, so I will take a moment to update things.

Well, if you haven't heard, the cats out of the bag. We are buying our first home! It's a new townhouse in Saratoga Springs, Utah, just northwest of Utah Lake. It faces east towards the valley, and although the view is blocked by more townhouses, our backyard consists of a field and and then the mountain landscape. Not too bad if you ask me!

One of the things I like so much about this place is the fact that actually feels like a single-family house. It officially has 2,090 sqaure feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms (one of which is the master bathroom which has a separate tub and shower AND a walk-in closet), a separate laundry room which is upstairs with the bedrooms, a kitchen with a pantry and a spacious dining room to go along with it, a two car garage with room to spare, and if that's not enough, a huge unfinished basement. (I have claimed the basement as my playground for the next few years, hopefully to turn part of it into a theatre room.)

Since no one has lived in it before, the walls are all white, which Tenille has declared loud and clear will not last for long. The other night we picked out colors to paint it, and yes folks, she gets her little red kitchen again. It was pretty funny because when we looked at red colors for the kitchen, the first one she picked up was the same color we painted our current kitchen.

Forgive the panoramic shots for being a bit crude... but you get the idea :) We are expected to close on Monday, and as all of you who have already bought a houose, you know how much fun the waiting game is at this point!
