We've moved!

Well, we finally made it! Our first home! We are so happy here. I am getting used to the rooster in the morning, which light switch turns on what, and the slightly longer commute to our favorite things (like Target nad the Grandparent). But so far, we just love the "little bit of country" here in Lindon. Our ward seems to be really nice and welcoming and we look forward to geting callings soon. We already have an assignment to speak in Church in a couple of weeks. We enjoy working on the home, but are also ready to have some free time to work on other things. We love having a yard, and I LOVE having a husband that doesn't mind the maintenance. Come visit us, if you haven't already!

This will be a short post because I am actually using Brian's laptop and don't have much time left. We have been without Internet for the past few weeks, so I apologize that my posts have been few. Come check back soon and get the scoop of what has been going on in our lives. I hope by next week I will have the chance to catch us all up. We have a lot of cute pictures of Jackson enjoying the new yard, we find out on the 3rd if we are having a boy or a girl, we had a fun family reunion, and a bunch of other things to write about! I'll get pictures and posts of all these fun things soon. In the meantime, I hope you are all doing well! Sorry if we have been out of the loop for a while, but you should start to see more of us.

Farewell to Canyonbrook

So, this is our final week at our condo. We are moving on Saturday to our new home in Lindon. Yea!! It has been a long time coming (like, since January)! As things begin to fall into place while we prepare for the move, and our condo is becoming a little more empty each day, I have been feeling mixed emotions about it all. Here is a list of things we are leaving behind. Some of them we will miss, and some of them we look forward to moving away from!

What we WON'T miss:

1) our car being towed from the place we live because it was parked overnight in main parking ($150 a pop)

2) the lawn crew waking Jackson from his naps, without fail, every week

3) the ugly little worms that make there way into our home each morning during springtime

4) storing groceries in the hall closet or on top of the counter because there is not enough room in the kitchen cabinets.

5) Our noisy dishwasher and cabinets doors

What we WILL miss:

1) wonderful neighbors (friends and family, and newest neighbor Izzy) living so close! thanks for all the borrowed sugar, soup, milk, eggs, etc. whenever we ran out and were in a bind!!

2) the 19th ward

3) our roses, trumpet vine and clematis

4) the kitchen being on the same level as our bedrooms (this is convenient when Jackson wakes at 5am and mom needs to make a bottle so she can go back to bed!)

5) someone mowing the lawn for us!

We have a lot of great memories of this place over the past two years! It has been great to us. But we look forward to starting our new lives in Lindon and hope we feel as much at home as we have here.
