Shortly after getting married, we started building our first home out in Eagle Mountain. We were living in an apartment and had the most awful landlord and were counting down the days until we could get out of there. We bought out of our contract and lived with my parents for a few months. We moved into our home at the end of September 2015.
We truly love it out here! Everything is further away than we're used to, but I think we're finally adjusted. The views are killer. Mountains and farm land everywhere!
We're starting to get to know our neighbors too, which is huge when you're a stay at home mom. They've all been great so far and are quick to lend a helping hand, especially as we tackle landscaping our backyard. I know Jake appreciates the help and I love an excuse to bake thank you cookies!
It was really cool watching our house go up. We drove out here once a week and watched the progress. It was extra exciting when the finishing touches like paint, flooring, and cabinets went in. Definitely made things feel more home-y and less construction-y. :)
Sometimes we're tempted to move back closer to our family/Jake's work, or go on some grand adventure for a couple of years, but I can really see us growing our family out here. It's a really good community and feels like where we're meant to be!
