I'm glad that is over!

We are now all moved in to our new home! Thank you to everyone who helped us out yesterday! We could not have done it without you. Especially thank you to Darrin for helping us all day long with loading, unloading, setting up beds, washer and dryer, driving the big truck so I did not have too as much. Sorry you cut your knee. Thank you Emily for lunch and for your help with the kids and unloading and unpacking, you are awesome!! Thank you to Kara for coming early and loading the truck and taking a load to our new home (including our fish in a sippy cup, haha). Thank you to Mike for helping us with all the heavy stuff and for coming to both homes to help. Thank you to Holli, Larry, and mom for helping unpack and set up the crib and washer/dryer, etc. I fell asleep to Melanie organizing the mess in my kitchen and woke up to a spotless kitchen, living room, with everything organized to a T. Thank everyone so much!!

Moving Day Pushed Up

We are moving everything up! We are now closing on our new home in Lehi this Friday and will be able to start moving in probably on Monday. We are going to officially move on Friday the 12th, just 8 days away. We are then closing on our condo on the 17th. I am feeling very excited, and Bryan is feeling close to being very broke. This weekend I am focusing on packing up, cleaning, work, and homework. Next week I will focus on getting the Lehi home all ready to move into. i.e. clean carpets, paint, clean, set up utilities, laundry, etc. I am going to need some serious Dr. Pepper!!

Dylan acheivements at almost 20 months!

I was looking back at all my recent posts and they are all about selling our condo, buying a new house, and moving. I have left out the most important person from my posts recently and that is Dylan Ace. What a charming, yet feisty little boy! Here are some of his latest accomplishments:
-Talking better, repeating what we say such as, "bull crap, oh wow, no no, who hoo, hello, hi, bye bye, bat-e-ball (for basketball), meow, ruff, ruff, carter, dada, mama, grandma, and papa."
-Climbs on anything possible
-He has perfected his tantrum throwing
-Loves to play in the bathtub for almost an hour at a time.
-Likes to cuddle with mom or dad to go to sleep
-Loves walking up and down stairs (he refuses to go down backwards anymore)
-Loves to give hugs and kisses, will kiss all his characters in his books as well
-Loves to wave to people in church during sacrament meeting
-Stayed in nursery without mom for the first time
-When he sees a train he will say, "choo, choo"
-Gets up on the counter and waves at his fishy while saying, "hi fishy"
-Likes to feed the dog and fish twice a day
-Loves sesame street, barney (don't mention this to Bryan), oso, mickey mouse, handy manny, and baby einsteins.
-His newest thing is when he is walking in between Bryan and I holding our hands we count 1, 2, 3 and then raise him in the air. He now will say, 2, 2, 2 and wait for us to raise him in the air. He loves counting, but thinks every number is pronounced "2."
-Dylan is a happy child and loves being around other kids because they make him laugh!

Productive Morning

This morning I was called off work, so I figured I would put my energy toward accomplishing some packing. I was impressed with my progress in only a few hours.

New House Pictures

I was able to take some pictures today after I met with the inspector. The current owner is in the middle of packing and moving so try to look past the boxes and such. Hope you enjoy! We are so excited to move on to the next stage of our lives. It feels kind of like a new beginning. A new city, new ward, new neighbors, new house, new everything. We hope all of you will come and visit us and make your selves at home with us whenever you can.

Just the beginning...

Here is what we got packed today.

This post is for all of you out there thinking how awful I am to buy a house without my husband seeing it first. When I first saw the house I just had that gut feeling and knew it was the house we were supposed to buy. I offered to Bryan to wait until he was able to go see it, but told him we would probably lose the house to another person's offer. His response was, "I don't have time, just get it." So by all means I went for it and we made an offer. Come to find out as soon as the sellers had signed our offer they received another offer. Had we waited we would have lost this amazing house. Bryan and I went to see the house on his day off and he likes it just as much as I do which was a relief. I am hoping to be able to take pictures tomorrow after the house inspection and will post them for you all to see.

I better start packing!

Well, our offer was accepted and we are buying a house! Bryan is so amazing and trusting. He has not even seen the house we are buying, but is on board. He has tomorrow off so we are going to go and see the house, and I am sure he will love the house as much as I do. The last week and a half have been very eventful. We listed our house, are now under contract to sell it and close March 26th, and are also under contract to move into our new home and close on March 15th. The next month should be interesting, stressful, exciting, and very busy!
