Welcome to our Home!

We have been in our new home in Logan, Utah for 3 weeks now...
sometimes it feels like a lot longer than that,
and than other times it feels like we got here yesterday.

The town we now live in has about 50,000 people,
which is a huge difference from Denver.
But the people we have met have been amazing!
I won't lie,
I was having nightmares about what the people
were going to be like.
I had heard horror stories of what people in Utah
are like...and we were basically given
a pat on the shoulder and a good luck wish from a lot of 
people before we moved.  
It was as if
we were headed off to war....
and I was scared to death,
but I knew this was "right"
for our family.

It has been quite different than everyone had described to us,
We have never been more welcomed
or given an extended hand of friendship like this ever before.
Several Neighbors brought over cookies
and introduced themselves...
friends came over and helped us rake the leaves in our yard for HOURS..
more neighbors came over and helped us prep the garden for winter....
The church members came over and helped shaun unload the tuck....

We are slowly making the home "ours",
but here are the before pics of almost everything:

Disclaimer:
to all our colorado friends comparing this to colorado prices....it is much cheaper to live
in Utah than Colorado!  We were able to cut our home buying budget by about 40%
