This is our new home!!! 925 Crescent Falls in Henderson about 10 minutes away from where we live now. We just signed the contract and put our money down and will be moving in at the end of the month! It's 3 bedroom, with a den, and a nice size garage. It's on the edge of town so it's quite and Travis can drive a dirt road to school if he wants. :) We're soooooo excited! Obviously the other 2 offers didn't work out, but if you notice the last offer was the same house as this one, just a different color and opposite floor plan. It's our favorite floor plan and location. And this brand new one just fell out of escrow last week! So that's the shorten version of the story for ya. Hooray!
Onto our next offer, Crescent Falls. The last house fell through. because the seller/the bank did not like the loan we were going to use. Instead of making a new offer and after seeing it again, we just felt that it wasn't right. So we turned around a couple days later and quickly put an offer in on this great deal. It's in a neighborhood on the edge of town heading out toward Lake Mead. It's a newer house, only a year old in a community that is still under construction. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a den and a laundry room separate from the garage door entrance (gotta love that!). We're really hoping this is it!

So we've been looking for a place for the last few months and finally got serious about looking and have found a really great place for a great deal! It's a 3 bedroom, with vaulted ceilings, 2 car garage, and room for our little trailer to park it on the side (which you just don't find to readily around here with the way the builders are building now). We put an offer on it and are waiting for them to accept. A couple of funny coincidences-the home is a Pulte Home, but 10 years old. And then I walked up to the lady next door one day we were there to ask her about the neighborhood. Well it turns out that she use to own the house, and because of her divorce they foreclosed on the house. She now lives next door with "the neighbor". They had a great dane so there's a huge doggy door that we'll have to fix or just get a dog. :) Anyways, I'll keep you posted on how it all goes. Mostly right now we're just excited!
So Travis and I went and caucused this weekend for Mitt Romney. It was a pretty cool experience being part of politics. It was the first year for Nevada to caucus and lets just say although the Republican party is great 'n all, it wasn't all that well organized. The funny part was that when we entered our precinct room, everyone in there was in our ward! Ok, so maybe like 5-10 people weren't, but the majority were. We all joked that it was like Sunday school. Anyways, we voted on our delegates from the room that would go onto the county caucus next month and then of course voted on our Republican Presidential Candidate. Romney won by a long shot in our precinct and in Nevada overall. Hillary Clinton was the Democratic win. It's kind of cool being part of the choosing of which republican I want to run for President. I would recommend caucusing or going to your preliminaries to everyone! Go Mitt!
