Maybe Our Future House?

So I know I still haven't posted those pictures. I forgot to mention on our wonderful cruise that the company provided a gift to each couple: a new camera! Which was perfect since we have been wishing and hoping for a new camera and were about to go buy a new one ourselves. The one we got is a really nice, expensive one. And I still need to download the software on our computer and that's what's been holding me up. I suppose I could do it now but of course, I am exhausted. So here are some pictures you can look at in the meantime. It's a house Jason and I are eyeing. We still have yet to put our house back on the market but are planning to within the next 2 weeks. It's funny becuase both houses on each side of us are for sale right now. I want to get ours up soon because I'm hoping it will help ours sell and bring more people to see it. Here is the outside: It's a cool house. The floorplan is different than most houses. On the first floor there is a living room or office and a bathroom. The second floor has the laundry room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a huge bonus room over the garage. The third floor has the kitchen, dining room, great room, master bedroom and 2 bathrooms.
Here's the kitchen, it is huge! Lots of cabinets, double ovens (one of my dreams) and some of the thickest granite counters I've ever seen. On the wall behind the desk, there is an intercom system and video monitor so you can see who is at the door and buzz them up.
The great room. It has floor to ceiling windows which I love! The house is up on the mountain so it has the most spectacular views of the valley. I love the view, I could probably stare out the window all day.

Oh, and did I mention this house has an elevator? Of course, carrying groceries up 2 flights of stairs would be a great workout, but would get old real fast.

Anyway, there is of course no guarantee we will get this house since we still need to sell ours, but this one has already been on the market over 6 months and the price keeps dropping. We are still looking at other houses though so we might find one we like even better. But having an elevator and those views would be pretty awesome!

In other news, today was the first Sunday I took Chase to church since he's been born. I figured there was no point in taking him before because I would just be roaming the halls the entire time with a screaming baby but now that his crying fits are getting better, I decided to try it out. I really miss going. Going to our ward though is going to be a challenge. Our ward starts at 8:30! Chase doesn't even wake up till between 7:30 and 8 then has to eat which takes him 30 minutes. And I don't dare change his schedule, he is pretty set with it. And I don't really care to have him wake up any earlier! Anyway, we didn't make it to our 8:30 sacrament meeting today so we went to the next ward at 10:30. It was better that way because no one in that ward knows us so if Chase did start freaking out, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. He was perfect though until about 11:10 he lost it because he was hungry. And I didn't pack a bottle because he's been eating every 4 hours and I thought for sure he would make it through sacrament meeting. So we had to leave a little early and I learned to always pack a bottle no matter what. I think he is going through a growth spurt, lately he always wants to eat. Next week we will have to be at our own ward, it is our turn in the library. I am going to have to wake him up, and you know what happens when you wake a sleeping baby...it's not a pretty sight!

That floor plan does sound very interesting. I hope you guys get the house cause I would love to see what it actually looks like. An elevator sounds awesome! (your kids will really enjoy that :)
