Our new casa

We have been procrasti-blogging lately because we were in Utah for the past couple weeks looking for some new diggs. We had the complete experience. We spent a few days looking at rentals, a few days looking at places to buy, and then a few more days looking at places to rent. In the end, we decided to rent and are really excited about the place we found.

It is really close to the hospital and should work out well for us. Here are a few of our favorite things about the place:

---This will be the very first time in our marriage that we won't be sharing any walls, floors, or ceilings with any neighbors. We are very much looking forward to having marital spouts at increased volume now that we aren't afraid of the neighbors calling the cops on us.

---We met one of our neighbors and she seemed normal. She looks like she might be the type of person that will send a few freshly-baked cookies our way for no reason.

---The house has a couple of spare rooms so you are all invited to spend a night (or few) at the new Chateau-le-Spencer in beautiful South Ogden. Your stay will include a breakfast of a selection of the finest cold cereals, entertainment by Finn, and perhaps some fresh cookies made by the nice neighbor lady.

---A back yard for the boy. As you can also see, there will be plenty of opportunities to spy on the neighbors. As you can't see from the picture, there is also a garden plot, a big patio, and a waterfall with a hot tub. Nothing beats a dip in the hot tub with fresh veggies to munch on as you soak.

---There is a sink with a drinking fountain in the garage. This was the selling point for Jesse. He has dreamed of having a drinking fountain in his house forever.

---There are two big family rooms (total of three in the house) that we have absolutely no furniture for. Lindy sees this as a positive because she wants to buy more furniture. Jesse sees this as an opportunity for a dance floor to work on his break dancing and another room dedicated to a foosball table or a go-crazy-room for Finn.

---It ain't all good though. The kitchen has fleshy-pink coutertops and the place needs some cleaning love. Hopefully the cleaning will be done by the time that we move but we are pretty much stuck with the fleshy-pink, yum!

As you can see, we are tickled fleshy-pink about the place and are glad that the house-hunting is finally over.

We did other stuff in Utah besides look at houses. We did a lot of Wii golfing, a ton of eating good food, some biking, Finn played with lots of cousins, some watching cousins play soccer, playing fetch with Neil's dogs, watching our sister-in-law run the Salt Lake half marathon, watching Rachel's dance company perform their spring show, watched "Baby Mama", and a bunch of other stuff. As usual, we took no pictures of those things.
