Hazel and I hung out at the St George temple for a few hours while Dane took his 2nd CPA exam. We had a fun time at the visitors center and around the grounds. Kitty, her favorite stuffed animal and "best friend," came with us, too. Haze was so excited to be "on vacation" and stay in the hotel for a night. She was so sad we had to go home that she cried when we pulled into the garage.
Hazel and Delyse flew with Grandma Jill to visit cousins and take care of Bentley while Les and Em were in the hospital for Khiara's birth. Yay for babies! She is a doll! We had a great time even with getting snowed in twice! We spent time with the Kartchners and the Caspers! what fun! We sure love and miss these guys!
We are homeowners!! Yay! Of course we've only had 2 mortgage payments so far! (: ha. But WE LOVE it!
After putting in numerous bids on homes near Dane's work and getting out bid each time, we happened upon a foreclosure in the Selches' neighborhood, and to our delight it is now ours. We moved out of the playroom-thank you again Hardys!!- and into our lovely abode about one month (filled with ever-so-much sweat and elbow grease) after we were given keys and 10 hours after we had one fully functioning bathroom (smiles).
We had to clean; fix leaky pipes,faucets,sinks,roof tiles; knock out a wall; re-texture the other walls; tear out carpet; clean; put in new carpet; patch tubs; paint every paintable surface(I never thought the painting would end-thank you selches!!); put in lights/ceiling fans-Dane is so proud that we did them our selves, we're learning to be handy; find new working appliances; clean, clean, clean, and oh, did I mention clean (: We still have more to do and fix, but we've been informed that from now on we will always have more to do and fix. Today I'm just excited that we are down to only 5 or 6 boxes to unpack-mostly books- and tonight we finally have some blinds in the front room! yay! only 2/3 of the windows left! hah! Really we just feel so blessed and grateful. Thanks you soooooo much to everyone who has helped! You are wonderful and we love you!!! (Thanks Grandma Beverly for reminding us to post pictures- sorry they're not the best for now) loves to all.
