Sadly I admit I still have no pictures. We are getting internet connected on MONDAY so no more of this silly phone internet stuff. Then pictures will be coming shortly. For now you get more details.
About a week before we found this house Jason asked our realtor (who happens to be his aunts best friend) if she has ever had clients that it took so long to find a house. She said no. Haha. It wasn't our fault either! We offered on 6 propertires-all of which were owner or bank owned. Not a single short sale. Well we just kept praying that we would find the house that was right for us in the place we needed to be. Randomly 1 day I got crazy and expanded our search 10,000 more dollars and found this house. I was drawn to it but we had decided what we would spend on a house and we didn't want to go over. We didn't want to spend more than we had to for what we needed. Plus the market here is craxy good for buyers. Well, I kept the house in my search just to track it. At this point it was only on the market 6 days...a few days later the price dropped 11,000 dollars. We couldn't believe it! We looked at it the same day and put in an offer. A few days later it was verbally accepted and we drew up a contract. Then the bank tells us we are in a "highest and best" situation. We said nope. If our offer was good enough the 1st time its good enough now. A week later [we thought we had lost it] they called and asked if we were still interested with our original offer...um...YES! (We later found out there was no other offers). Well, after that it took less than a month to close. Now we are here. Its a gorgeous home and we are so lucky to be here. Our realtor said in her decades of real estate she has never seen a "too good too be true" property like this one. So a few details. It is 2 stories. About 2900 sq feet. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a loft upstairs and 1 bd, 1 bathroom, living\dining room, family room, laundry room and kitchen on the main floor. 2 car garage. An actual lot big enough to play in! (Vegas is not known for its yards) granite counters in a super pretty kitchen. We love love love it and we know this is where we should be. Our guest room is up and running so feel free to call!

Congratulations Christy, that sounds amazing. I LOVED seeing the pictures that my parents took at the place. I am so happy for you guys, and that everything has worked out.
I can't wait to see some pictures with your stuff in the house.
when you've put offers in on 13 houses and have looked for 8 months, then I'll feel bad. :p
glad you like it, can't wait to see pictures.
I'm so excited for you! Can't wait for the pics!
Saaaaa-Wheeet!
Now... when are you coming back up this way to visit?
Congrats! Sounds like an awesome house! Wish we could find that here. (But I wouldn't trade the area or climate:) We'd love to come visit sometime!
Reserve the room for us for one of the weeks the Manhattan Temple is closed in either late January or early February 2011. I will come prepared to help make window treatments and Tom can work on whatever is on his Tom-do-list.
We are so excited for you guys, sounds great! :)
