Our NEW casa!

We are getting a new house, and we are so excited. It's not exactly a new house, but whatever. We are moving to Gilbert! Gilbert is where Chris and I have wanted to be since we were first married, and we are finally moving there. The house was bank owned, so it's a little rough on the inside, but we were able to get a really good deal on it. It's on Greenfield and Williamsfield, right by the 202 freeway entrance and the new San Tan Mall. It's in a culdesac, and 50 yards from the church we would go to. The neighborhood is so cute and friendly and the home is the cottage style that I LOVE. We are just so done commuting from Casa Grande. We actually have loved Casa Grande for the past almost 2 years. Casa Grande is way smaller than being in the city and we have made a lot of good friends.
We will close on the house the beginning of July, and then you'll have to see all the before and afters! I'm so excited for a blank slate to decorate, too! PLUS we just found out that our house backs up to one of our really good friends (who happen to be the parents of Tate's best friend)

I think this will simplify our life a lot, since Chris will not have to commute everyday, and PLUS, think of how much money we will save on gas! Yeah!

how fun! and now with the new temple being built in Gilbert...you won't be too far away from one of those either! I think it will be way fun for you to fix up the house...that's something Dusty and I want to do one day. Take something good and just make it our own. Can't wait to see more pictures of what you do to the place!

What a fun house! I'm sure it will be so nice not having to spend so much time on the road (and of course the extra money from gas will be handy)!
