In fact, we weren't planning on it for another couple of years down the road. We wanted to save up a larger down payment and had some other goals we wanted to take care of first. So, buying a home was far from my thoughts. If you know me, I had other things on my mind. So when Roberto came home and started talking about a house, I was VERY surprised. I knew that Roberto secretly wanted to wait and see if there was a chance for us to live outside of Utah. When he took this job, which is based out of Denver, Color...
