It had always been our plan to buy our first house before the arrival of our first child, and after a few years of saving and a very cooperative housing market for first-time home buyers, we are now the proud owners of a beautiful three-year-old house in Canyon Springs.
The house itself is beautiful--two stories, four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, an upstairs game room loft, a media room, an office/study for Jeff, two living areas, two dining areas, an island kitchen, and a huge backyard with a swingset for Harper and a hot tub for us! I think it's a little over 3,100 square feet total, which is only 300 square feet bigger than our Mesa Verde house, but the open floor plan makes it feel so much bigger.
As with any move, we have 1,000 things to do before it all comes together, but with me being pregnant--and thus unable to do half of the things I would normally do following a move (e.g., hang pictures, put things away, unpack, rearrange furniture, etc.)--we just have to take things one day at a time. It's a little overwhelming at times, but we'll get there eventually!
In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the house, prior to our moving in:
