New Home

Well . . . it has been a long little while since I have posted, but we have been a bit busy around here. Since I last posted our little family has made some big changes. We thought we were moving to Pocatello Idaho for Brandt's graduate school, but then he went and got a lousy job. He will be a geography teacher at Monticello Academy starting this fall. We are so excited he finally gets to be a real teacher, even if we had to put other plans on hold.

Unfortunately, we kind of rented out our house for two years because we thought we were moving, so we needed to find a place to live which wasn't so easy with having our dear Sadie Sue to bring along too.

We searched and searched and with only days to spare we found the perfect house to rent and signed the papers just in time to move.

Moving was easier and harder than I thought; emotionally it was easier, but physically it was so much harder! I never realized how much stuff we had just laying around in our unfinished basement. Now comes the fun part of organizing everything inside our new house and de-cluttering, which I love.

Now things haven't exactly worked out like we had planned, but for some weird reason they seem to be working out. So here are the 10 things I am grateful for right now in our new home:

1. Edders has a backyard to play in with a huge shade tree.
2. Edders is going to bed good in his new bedroom.
3. I have a HUGE kitchen.
4. I have a dining room. (I feel so spoiled to have a separate room for dining, only rich people have dining rooms.)
5. I have tons of closets to organize.
6. I have the largest preschool room ever!
7. I have a nursery for Lu-Lu that I can't wait to get all cutesy.
8. We have a very nice ward who have been so welcoming, even when I walked into Relief Society bawling like a baby. . . darn pregnancy hormones.
9. We have a mailbox that's attached to our house so our mail-lady actually walks up to our door to deliver our mail, which makes Sadie bark like mad, but it is still cute and charming.
10. We scored a free sectional from Lisa's neighbors which is so comfy and has plenty of space for our whole family to stretch out on, even Sadie, but she has been banned from the couches ever since she started shedding like mad.

Our cute new Kaysville house.
