Honey! I'm Home!

1968 Rambler. Purchased from original owners. Enjoy the tour...

The original owners were great. Utah fans! They left the light up U for us!

Inside the front door is the living room. I made those curtains all by myself (with some much needed direction from my mother.) Now I'm just trying to find some blinds to fit such a large window!

This tile work was done by my brother Troy. Well, MOST of the cosmetic stuff done in our house was done by Troy. Kuso was out of town for most of the remodel, but he did help lay this tile. I love it.As you exit living room, to the left is this, to the right, the hallway.

First door on the left is the bathroom.Straight down the hall, last door on the left is the Master room.

Above is the view from the hallway.

Below is the view from the Master Bath.

Master Bath

Leila's Room - last door on the right.

First door on the right, 3rd Bedroom/computer room for now.

After coming back down the hallway, to the right, behind the living room, is the kitchen.

Above is the view from the hallway.

Below is the view from the gargage door entry.Immediately at the bottom of the stairs is the family room. This is where Kuso plans to have dance practice with his group.

The built-ins will be great!At the bottom of the stairs, just outside the family room is a 4th bedroom.

With TONS of storage. Under the stairs and two full closets with shelves in the back!To the left at the bottom of the stairs is this storage room.

Between the storage room and this laundry room, there is going to be a 3rd bathroom.At the end of the hallway and connected to the laundry room is the potential for a 5th bedroom.

This will likely be Kuso's room to keep his work clothes, rugby clothes, dance clothes, etc.

Then on to the backyard.Above is the view from the garage door.

Below is the view from the opposite corner.

This flower pot is my first attempt at gardening on my own.

I also planted other flowers along the back of the house.

The west fence is covered with ground cover and bushes.

I'm basically going to watch it for a while to see what is what and start

making plans for what I would like to do to clean it up a little bit.

This whole thing started with an idea to move closer to our families, the babysitter, work, and all of our other activities. I suggested we rent a town home for a few years. That way, when we have another baby, there will be room. I saw prices for rent and thought 'we could buy one for that price.' So I started looking at purchasing a town home. Then I saw the prices for those and thought 'we could buy a house for that price.' So I contacted our long time family friend and realator, Jodee Smith, and told her my thoughts.

This house was the second house I looked at. When we walked to the front door, Jodee said "Lis, this is your house." I fell in love immediately. I took Kuso back to see it that night. It all fell into place (with the help of multiple emails, phone calls, and faxes) and now here we are!

Our neighbors are very nice. The Bishop of the new ward stopped by to introduce himself the day we were moving in. Other ward members have stopped by to introduce themselves. I feel comfortable where we are at and feel like "everything happens for a reason" is true.

If you are ever in our neck of the woods, feel free to come visit! Call first...I might need to clean up a bit!
