Nick and I bought a condo in Provo at the end of December just off good ol' Grandview Hill. A Mortgage is a GREAT Christmas Gift! Ha Ha!
It had a lot of upgrades in it already when we first bought it but we decided we wanted to do a few of our own. Its been a lot of work and we are still probably about 2 weeks out before we can move in but the changes that we are making are so worth it!
Thanks to my dad, and my uncles tools we have been able to fix all the little things that were here, there, and EVERYWHERE, texture the walls, skip tail the celling, Repaint, replace light fixtures, and faucets, and replace the carpet etc.
Even though its taking a LONG time to get this all done the right way its looking great and when its all done its going to look great (I think) ha ha!
Here are a few pictures of the process so far. We still have a long way to go but its gettin' there! Thanks to BOTH of our families for all the help! We dont know what we would do without you!

Thats it for now, as we get more done I will post more pictures.
If your going to do it you might as well do it right. Right? :)

Fun! I'm jealous of your stainless steel appliances!

Wow, how awesome for you guys tahat you bought a condo! I'm afraid that it will be a LONG time for us before we can buy a home. Hope you had great holidays with you families! It would be fun to get together with you two some time, even if just to have you over for dinner or games!...we should plan a time, k? Have fun with all the projects in your new place!
You are making me miss my Willowbrook condo. I LOVED that place. I have given my father in law strict instructions to give us the first opportunity to buy if he should decide to sell our old place. I want it to become my vacation place. I hope you guys are as happy there as we were. I also hope you have a sweet sense of deja vu when you get to rock a baby to sleep there. Think of Mr. RJ and how much he loved you!
haha! :) Will do stacy. :) There have already been many times since we have been over there, that I have remembered being over at your place doing all the fun things we did there together :) ahh...I miss you! <3 you!
That is cool, is that you're house? It looks like you guys are having a tons of fun!
