Housing Update

Well I have three items to report to you all today (and I apologize for the delay in getting them out).

1. Least important on the list is that I am now 31. Though I received many kind words, phone calls and gifts my favorite is my sister Boo’s tribute.

2. We sold our Orem home. Mixed feelings on this one. Very glad to have sold it and have gotten a pretty decent deal out of it as well. Not so glad to officially have it out of my life (I have a lot of great memories there. I brought home all of my babies to that house. *sniffle*)

3. We made an offer on a home in Meridian and have since walked away from it. I will admit we came in low but given the current market conditions I didn’t feel it was unreasonable. Unfortunately, the sellers were unable to get the house down to a level that I felt worked for us (they may be over their heads in it) so we dropped it. The real down point here is that my wife and I made the mistake of getting our kids excited about it before the deal was set in stone and now they are heart broken, but recovering.

So for all of you, that is the current update from the Boise front.
