Sad, Sad Day

So we officially lose our house on April 1st. After almost a year of being in a short sale we could no longer afford the house and it went into foreclosure. I am bummed because it was my first home purchase and it wasn't a very wise one. We were ambitious! It was in an area we loved, a huge yard for the dogs, nice size home, and close to the mountains. It was going to take some work but man were we motivated. Josh bought all the tools need to make this our dream home. The ambition lasted about 2 years and we got alot done. It was looking really good and then thanks to contruction life Josh got laid off and we just couldn't catch up.

It has been a learning experience. We will never get into a place that we can't afford on just one of our incomes only or one that takes that much work. It was an old home so of course everything was quittinq at the same time. It all got very overwhelming and we just couldn't do it anymore. So yes, my perfect credit is now screwed but at least we don't have the stress anymore. We are renting a nice place in Eagle Mountain (southwest of Salt Lake). I love the area but it is at least 15-20 min from the interstate. We were lucky to find someone that would let us have our dogs.
