I will try to keep an update short and simple. If you want more information, check out our blog ( www.johnnyandbrindalynn.blogspot.com ) We will also be starting weekly updates again for those few who actually want to spend the time to read them :)
John and I moved to Draper the beginning of January. John's Dad has been renting out his house there since he got married and moved to Pleasant Grove about three years ago. He offered us free rent if we were willing to clean it up after recent tenants. It's been an...adventure...but the extra hour out of John's commute is fantastic.
John started his job at the church's tech department in Riverton the beginning of January as well. He loves it there. He was put on the Mormon.org project, but it's in a transitional phase right now so he hasn't had many things to do. He installed linux on his work computer so that has been keeping him busy :)
We are looking to buy a house :) With no kids, no debt, no school, great/excellent credit, a good job for John, and current free housing accommodations, we are in an ideal position to do so. Then add in the market right now and we would really be crazy not to buy. We are mostly looking in the south-western area of the Salt Lake Valley, partly to be semi-close to John's work, partly because we have been told that Saratoga Springs is likely to boom, and partly because we are finding unbelievable prices out there. We want to buy a little bigger than we really need -- but can still afford -- so that we can rent out the basement and still have
room to grow for many years. We've found lots of houses but we're still looking so there really isn't much big news until we have some things finalized. Since we're mostly looking at short sales, putting offers on houses (which we have done a handful of times) isn't as final as it would be otherwise.
Well, that's really our life right now unless you want the smaller activities and therefore deal with either John or I babbling on :P
