Moving to Saratoga Springs!

For nearly three years we tried to buy a house in Kennewick. After 3 or 4 failed offers (I’ve lost track!) and finding the perfect lot to build a house, we found out we were going to move to Utah for Tom to be the  Salt Lake City branch manager of Senske LawnLife, located in Midvale.

We feel so lucky that our Heavenly Father has blessed us and guided us in the decisions we’ve made. It’s been a difficult road for me, and at times, many tears were shed and questions and frustrations were sent heavenward. I’m grateful that He hasn’t given up on me for at times, having a bad attitude and not appreciating what I did have, that many people in this world go without.

I put up with mice, no dishwasher or garage, a small and old two bedroom house for almost four years and it’s been worth it!Although we would have loved to have a house built in an area of Kennewick we loved, surrounded by some great friends that we miss and being close to both of our families who we love, this will be the house we will soon call home:

1007850_3My favorite part of the whole house, the kitchen!

1007850_5The kitchen has all the upgrades I wanted in a kitchen. Granite countertops, an island, alder cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The laundry room, half bathroom and access to the 3 car garage is just past the wall where the fridge goes.

I’m thankful to have an amazing husband who has worked so hard to provide for our family. I’m looking forward to building many memories in our new home and this area!!
