New House!!!!

So here are pictures of our new house. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs with an unfinished basement. One bedroom is our master bedroom with my favorite part of the house....a huge walk in closet! The second bedroom is a guest bedroom and the third is my office and another guest bed. We have been loving living here so far. Next step is to put in a yard!!! There is still lots to be done but we are happy with just being in our home. I have learned a lot through this whole experience. Here are a few things I have learned: 1) giving up worrying for lent was very helpful because I worried much less as we took on the huge project of moving, 2) setting the microwave clock can take more than a college degree...it took me four days to figure out...I finally figured out the whole seven step process...no joke it was seven steps 3) no matter how organized you are...on moving day it will be chaos anyway...side note...thank you SOOOOO much to everyone that helped we were so blessed! 4) who knew having a 19 min longer commute to work (it used to be 1 min) would be enjoyable...I actually have time to collect my thoughts before the beginning of the day! That is all I can think of for now but I am sure I will add more later!

Moving Day

So in the end of April we moved into our first house!!! It was a huge project but full of lots of cleaning and organizing so I was right in my element! We had so many wonderful friends that helped us on moving day! We were so blessed. We had so many trucks and trailers! After moving we had some pizza and cookies to close out the night! We are loving our house! More pics of everything set up to come!

Our First Place

So before we moved to our new house I thought we needed a post of our first place. Jake's and uncle and aunt we very generous in letting us rent our town home for the past four years. It was filled with many wonderful memories and many back yard games. We will miss 2470!

So......We Bought A House!!!!!

Well after a long and stressful process we finally have a house. We found out we got the house last Thursday and started madly packing. So by Saturday afternoon the whole duplex was loaded up on trailers and moved across town to the new place. Then the unpacking started and finally we have everything in our living spaces in place. I am not much for chaos and disorganization so, since having everything put away, I much feel better! There is still lots of decorating to do and things to buy but it will all come in time (at least that is what I keep saying to keep from stressing!!!!). I love our new house but was also sad to leave our old one. We had lots of fun and good memories in our old place and it was sad to leave. However, I am sure there will be many more memories and a family started in this house (there are no plans for babies right now though!). I would definitely post pictures but Jake says I can't until after Easter. Jake's family is coming for Easter and he wants it all to be a surprise. So in a couple weeks there will be pics!!! I just need to say thank you for everyones support during this process and both Jake and I feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that support us through everything!

Girl's Weekend in Park City

In the beginning of March is was time for another girl's trip down to Susan's parents condo in Park City, Utah. We had so much fun and we definitely shopped till we dropped!!! We put in 4 hours on Friday, and 13 hours on Saturday! Between Tai Pan Trading, the outlets, Nordstrom, and Nordstrom Rack we got our fill! We did take a few, and only a few breaks, to sit down and nourish our shopping bodies! Here are some pics from the shopping to the car filled to the brim to other fun memories!
