Buying a House!!
So we have been trying to decide whether we should rent or buy down here. Right now is a great time to buy. As we looked at apartments and saw how much they were, Adam wanted to see if we could buy something. I was a lot more hesitant. It took a bit of convincing to make me feel good about it. Working for the City, I have come into contact with a lot of great agents. One of them found a 1300 sq ft duplex for $135,000. So we have been going through the motions to buy it. We put in our offer yesterday and hopefully it won't take too long. It is on a short sale, which means it is on the brink of foreclosure. It may take a little longer to get everything through because the homeowner and the bank must both accept the price. But as soon as we get that approval, it should be pretty quick. We are really excited about it. It is in a great little family neighborhood. We are hoping Adam can be moved in before we get married!! It would make the move a lot easier. So we'll see. As soon as I can get my computer to work, I will put some pictures up.

These tips are really useful. Finding an ideal place to live is not as easy as it may seem. You need to be sure about what you would like to see in your future house and how much you can afford. For buyers with children it is sometimes difficult to find a good school nearby. Recently i have found this service http://schools.fizber.com/ that can help visitors to explore the school system in the neighborhood.
Buying a house is a big step! We just purchased ours. You never feel like you have enough money from here on out and you practically sign your life away. Good luck with it. It is worth it in the end!
My parents live in St. George in the winter. I'm usually down there at Christmas. We should get together!
