Lots happening...

Wow, a lot has happened in the last few months I can't even remember most of it! Probably because Christmas was in the middle of all of it.

We moved! That's right, we found a house that we love, put in an offer and before we knew it, we were closing on our 2nd house! It was a short sale so we thought it would be a while before anything happened, (if anything) so we didn't tell anyone until it was for sure. It seemed like we snapped our fingers and we were in our new home.

The part that didn't seem to go fast was getting our old house "rent-able". There were a lot of unfinished things that needed to get done and little things that we had just learned to live with that we kind of forgot about. Thanks to my parents for letting us live with them for a few weeks while we got stuff ready.

Also stressing about getting renters was hard, but we got some!! Woo hoo! And they're good people that we know will take care of our house.

Ella will be attending her last day at the school she's been going to tomorrow and moving on to a school out here next week. I have been driving her out there everyday and staying at my mom's until school's out so we haven't had much time at the new house. I'll be glad when we can stay home all day for once. She's very excited and not scared at all! I'm so much more nervous for her than she is.

We really miss our old ward, but have met a lot of nice people here and know that we will grow to love it!

Also not being so close to my mom and sister has been hard, but we're close enough to take a little drive whenever needed.

The kids love the new house! Every time we had to go to the old house to clean or paint or whatever, they would complain and want to go to the "new house". They told me they never want to go to our old house again! Turds! I do miss it a little and can still picture myself there. But we fit so much better here, and I really love it, too!!! :)

I'll post pictures of our new house soon (when I take some).

And come visit!!!!! We love to have people over!
