If at first you don't succeed...

...try, try, again...

We spent President's Day weekend in Utah, scouting for a house. Our main objective was to find an area that "felt right". We managed to do that, so I guess the trip was a success.

Originally, we thought we'd be in Cedar Hills, which is right up the slope of Mt. Timpanogas.



Unfortunately, things there weren't exactly what we were looking for, so we went to the other side of Utah lake. We found 'the' place and house we wanted to have built. Here's the view we'd have from our deck...



However, the best laid-plans and all that... The house started out affordable, but in spite of our best efforts, we couldn't keep the cost down to a manageable level. So, we're almost back at square one. We know where we want to be, we just have to find the house that fits.

In the meantime, we still love the view...



...and before you know it, we'll be saying: "This is the place"...
