our new home

This is our new house that we are buying right now. We expect to move sometime between the 26th and 29th. We are really excited to finally get our own place. We do own our condo so this isn't our first purchase but it is our first home. The condo didn't really feel like a home to us, it felt like an apartment. This place is still in Orem and it has a spacious back yard with lots of planter boxes and a swing set and a garage. It has 3 bed 3 bath and 2 family rooms and 2 fireplaces. My favorite thing is that it has a unfinished room in the basement where the laundry is so I can finish it and turn it into a salon. I would love to have somewhere to do hair other than my kitchen. It also has brand new carpet but I don't know what the owners were thinking when they picked out the color. It is practically white. It is going to get stains so easy. I though they should have some more common sense because they have 3 small children. I would never pick a carpet that would show dirt and stains . We have a light carpet in our condo and I hate it. it has gotten so dirty in the 2 years that we have lived here. We take our shoes off when we come in but the carpet goes alway to the door so the area around the door where we step when we walk in is the dirtiest. if I had it my way, I would have put tile down in the entry way so it would be easier to clean. especially in the winter with all the snow that gets tracked in the house. We will just have to put lots of rugs down over the carpet in our new house so it will hopefully stay clean longer. There will also of course be a no shoes policy in our house but thats hard when you have to bring in lots of groceries or something that keeps your hands full.
I will post more pictures when we move in so you all can see how nice the place is.
