   Well I was going to call everyone, but I'm tired of thinking about that so I'll just put it all on the site. The day after Christmas we put an offer a house. By Saturday after some truly pointless counteroffers they accepted our offer. The house needs some fixing up (roof, siding, some electrical, paint, carpet, one toilet, fencing, yard, covering up a nasty word, etc.) and some appliances (fridge, stove) but we're still very excited and anxiously waiting the next two weeks for closing. It's a very small drive from our apartment now, has a great layout, is in a great neighborhood, has room to grow, and hopefully a yard devoid of dog droppings. So if anyone is up for visiting in February we have some extra paint brushes and eventually will have more room to house most everyone.   

Read what others had to say:

   We'll actually be coming to Utah sometime in March. Don't know the dates yet. We'd like to come see
your new place. The catch is we'll be bringing our dog with us, so I don't know how you'd feel about that.
She's potty trained and she's gentle around Lucy even when she's getting slapped repeatedly on the
nose by her. I don't expect any problems around other kids, and she's used to spending time in the
kennel. Since you are putting a lot of new stuff in, I can understand if you're hesitant to let a dog come
through. We do have options for sleeping arrangements in Utah, so let me know what your thoughts are.

   This is a conundrum. I really would like you guys to stay with us but I'd hate for her to be in a kennel the entire time...we do have a fence and there's always the downstairs or garage...then again she is house trained so we might be safe with her upstairs,...but it will be brand new carpet and part of the fixing up the house involves cleaning up the previous owners pet urine....but the whole upstairs isn't carpeted just the bedrooms and living room....well, tell me what you guys would prefer and we'll accommodate. I'm assuming you guys aren't coming because of us (we're just an added bonus (: ).

   We're coming for a baby blessing. But on second thought, I don't think we should bring Reba to your
house. I'm not willing to risk it at this point, and it would be better to stop by without her. We'll be staying
somewhere that has had its fair share of dogs.

   You need to give us all the stats. House size, lot size, rooms, etc.

   Fine.
2,400 sq ft
3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 downstairs with another unfinished room
Master bathroom with walk-in closet
1 other full bathroom upstairs, 1 3/4 bath downstairs...but we're not letting it be used until we fix some
things
A front room, living room, and family room
2 car garage
Don't remember the lot size
I'll post pictures...eventually.

   You forgot the laundry room downstairs which I consider to be very large.

   You need to give us the address too.

   Donna is headed your way for the week.   We're hoping you are able to get painting done and the baseboards back on and the floors cleaned so you can get carpet on Thursday!!!!   Don't forget to take before and after pictures.
