A house for Valentines!

It was a great day for us with really happy news! We found out that the owners of the house we love in Cedar Hills accepted our offer! It really came as a shock to us and our realtor, because we were expecting a counter-offer, and we wanted to have room to negotiate. We were ecstatic when we got a yes and a signed contract for 3-4% lower than asking price. There are now 30 days of them moving out, us getting the house inspected and appraised, loan approved, and closing. . . . and then we're in! It's going to be a little crazy but hopefully everything will go smoothly. Anyway, here are a few pictures:
They made a really cute playroom that connects with the area under the stairs and we just fell in love with the space. It's so cute and has a little peak window and half door:
This is going to be Hyrum's room. I love the red stripe:This is a picture of the dining and kitchen area. I'd like to refinish the cabinetry someday, but it's a cute space with 2 pantries.Now in honor of the "Day of Love" I had to put a picture of these beautiful flowers from Brett:

Stephanie, I am so excited for you. That house is Amazing. Can I please come visit when you are all moved in? I am also very excited that you are not moving so far away.
It sounds like you are going to be moving the same time you are having your baby. How close is it going to be?
congratulations!!!
