A New Addition...

Our family just seems to keep growing- we bought a new house!

wHaT???

We LOVE our current home, but we were starting to feel a little like sardines in here. It was a great starter home, but we needed another bedroom. Our 3 bedrooms, is cut short because of the office. Braelynn and Brooke would be sharing a room, which isn't a problem...but can get a little too cozy.

For about a month we were putting bids on homes at the foreclosure auction. It was a lot of fun. We would get a list, drive around and pick our favorites, and then put in the bids. We came close on some, but one day our bidder called and told us it was between us and another guy and the auctioneer was still quite aways from our limit. All of a sudden it was ours! That's when the drama began as you have 24 hours to PAY FULL PRICE...I'll save you the gore, swear words, and blood...just know that it all worked out :)

So what are the stats?

It's still here in South Chandler...about 2 miles from where we are currently at (a new ward though).

3,330 sqft

5 Bedrooms + Loft

3 Bathrooms

Formal Family and Dining Rooms

3 Car Garage

AmAzInG Backyard with a huge playset, 2 vegetable gardens, 6 fruit trees, a rose garden, grass, and extended patio...right now it's all dead and covered with weeds, but give it time.

Here is the "before" video. I'll be sure to post the "after" video when we get a little more settled.

I had to do it in 2 parts, so you'll see the downstairs and then upstairs.
