Memphis

At the end of March we flew out to Memphis to look for homes, we were excited to go we had found some homes that were around fairly cheap compared to Utah but the ones we ended up seeing, a lot of foreclosures, everything was so disgusting. We did see a few we liked. I just don't understand people, if you want to sell your house so desperately clean it up our realtor kept getting calls about how these people are really motivated to sell, if your that motivated then dust or make it presentable. We finally found one we absolutely loved it had been all redone, it was a little higher then we wanted but it was perfect and had half an acre and while we were walking through it our realtor got a call that he had just written the contract for the people who wanted to sell it, we were a little bummed, it was only a block from the temple! We are still keeping our options open but will probably just rent which is fine, it makes it easier to leave in the end. This would be the extent of the pictures we took in the five days we were there lame I know but we literally spent the whole time looking for somewhere to live! Plus we will be there for 3 years at least so that is plenty of time to take pictures!


The school/Andrew's home for the next 3 years! It was pouring rain when we were there so it was hard to get a good picture.


The Memphis Temple, it is so pretty and a lot smaller then it looks it was smaller then the Stake Center next to it!


The things people have in their houses, get rid of your garbage before you show people you house, it is more appealing that way!


This was the first house we looked at it was on a lake and it was selling for $110,000! So Cheap!
