It's so nice to have school finally over with for awhile. I have enjoyed sleeping in and not having to be anywhere - it has been great. I don't know what we will be doing this summer but I'm sure we will be taking it easy.

I'm back

Yay, I finally have the internet. I have been lost without it. We are all moved and settled into our new place. We are renting a formal parade home. I love lots of things about it ( the layout, private courtyard, double pantry's in the kitchen, balcony, etc..) but there are some things that drive me crazy. There is carpet under the kitchen table, high tech phone system that seriously took me a week to figure out how to answer the phone and make phone calls and a few other things but we are enjoying being in our old ward again - it's been fun. The kids have already been staying up late with friends and playing night games. We are renting until the end of October. We have no idea if we are going to build or just buy a home. There are about 5 foreclosures in our neighborhood so we are thinking that might be the way to go. Who knows.

We finally found a place!

We just found a place to rent about an hour ago. This house is 2 houses down from our other house we sold 6 months ago so we will be in our old ward again. I'm also so glad that we are by the school again so I won't be driving 10 times a day.

Going Private!

The last few weeks have been busy for our family. We have been packing and decluttering the house. We close on our house this Thursday and have to be out by the following Monday. The funny thing is that we have no idea where we are going to live. We have been looking but haven't had much luck yet, hopefully we find something soon - we have 5 days and counting. Anyway, I have decided to go private so anyone that would like to be invited to my exciting blog please leave me your email on here or email me at bradnsaraatgmaildotcom.

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Happy 9th Birthday Tyler!

Under contract!

We got an offer on our house on Friday. We countered back and now our house is under contract. We have to be out by April 24th which is exactly 4 weeks away. Hopefully things don't fall thru but if they do I guess it's ok. Now we have to find a place to rent while we build somewhere. :)
