Specs...

Ok so since you all have seen Cory's LOVELY home tour here are the details.
The house has:
2,120 sq feet
4 Bedrooms (Cory totally skipped one and it had teddy bears on the wall!)
1 Office/Den
3 Full baths

So there is lots of room to come stay with us, the 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom are right at the front of the house so it is private for the mom's and dad's and the kids can stay in the office that is next to that or in the bedrooms back by us. We are really excited and can't wait to move in. We are hoping to close and move in by the end of April, right before it gets really hot. We are in a community that has HOA's that include a really nice community pool, a gym and even tennis courts. They offer lessons and training in multiple sports and personal training. We cannot wait and I hope to see all you peeps coming down here to see us. next time we go up I will try and take some better pictures.

Oh what happens in a year...

Dreams come true. A year ago this week Cory and I were visiting Phoenix, looking at neighborhoods and wishing we could move here. When we landed literally I turned on my phone and it rang. I answered and it was American Express offering me a job in SLC. Great way to start off the week. We then got to the car rental desk and they gave us an UPGRADE to a Cadillac CTS, SWEET. It was a wonderful 85 the entire time and then we went home, went back to reality. I got to leave my old job, telling one of your best friends, who is your boss, that you are quitting was hard, but fun at the same time. I started with American Express within a few weeks. During the same few weeks we were lucky enough to sell our house. We decided to be apartment people for a while and live closer to work. We got to our 5th year anniversary in Orlando. We didn't do much more and then in December Cory was goofing around looking at jobs in Phoenix, the snow gave us the itch every time. He found a posting at American Express in Phoenix and I told him what could it hurt... Well 3 interviews and a delayed flight back from a 4th (snow again) later he had an offer, more than we needed to justify the move, it was bliss. Cory was starting the beginning of February and I still had to find a position to transfer into to. Thinking we would be apart for a few months we had a plan, a sad sad plan, we had never even been apart for more than 3 days in the over 5 years we were married. Well just my luck I applied for a job and got it, starting the same day as Cory, which happened to be in a week and a half, well we changed our plans and thankfully Cory's parents helped us out so we didn't have to get a Uhaul and 2 cars down here. Well here we are a year after the dream started and it is a reality. Things are good. Now we just need a house, offer is in will hear back by the 30th. Hopefully we will be posting pictures soon. Livin the Dream and never giving up.
