What is Happening?

Many of you already know that we have finally sold our house. We are waiting to close, and made on offer on a house up in Newton. Our offer is contingent on selling our house and they get to keep their house on the market while we wait to sell ours.

Newton is a very quiet little town. We are looking forward to a more simple life. My commute will be about 20 minutes each way. But a little different from my 20 minute commute in West Jordan. I probably won't see more than a couple of cars on my route until I get close to Logan.

The house we have made on offer on is awesome. It has almost everything we were looking for, but most of all is really well built. Check out this kitchen! I love to have everyone over and this kitchen is certainly set up for us to enjoy cooking for family and friends.
The one thing that I was hoping to have was a formal living room so that I would have a place for my piano. This house doesn't have that, so that is the compromise that we had to make. We will have it in the living room of the kitchen for now, and see what we where we want to put it later. There are only 2 bedrooms on the main floor, so I may turn the other upstairs bedroom in to a music room. Who knows?
We have to finish a couple of rooms in the basement, but a most of it is already done (sheet rock hung, doors hung) so it won't be too much to finish. Logan is excited to move up there too, and has given his notice at Jerry Seiner.

Kenny's shoulders are healing very well. The doctor has given him clearance to go back to work, but he can't take a job that would require him to lift any more than 15 pounds. He has started the application process and hopefully the timing of moving and him starting a job will all work out.

We have been so blessed thorugh this entire transition in our lives. As we have gone through each step, we have seen the Lord's hand in making this happen. We are so grateful for our blessings, for my job, for the opportunities that Kenny is finding to apply for in this tough economy, for good friends and family that have loved us and helped us and encouraged us.

I especially want to tell Bre and KC thanks for putting me up. There is just something wrong when the parent has to mooch from the kids! They have been great though, and with the exception of me having to scrape my own car windows every morning, things have gone really well.

Cache Valley here we come. Yipee!!!!!!!!!

Yahoo! That is the house we saw on the internet. It does have a spectacular kitchen. I didn't understand that it only had two bedrooms on the main floor. I am happy to hear that Kenny's shoulders are healing. That is tough, especially when he's used to being active. You have been blessed; it's a beautiful house, and I have a little bit of jealousy because you get to move to Cache Valley. When I emailed you about all the yummy places to eat, I forgot about the food and nutrition buildings; all the ice cream and sandwiches. I think all these memories of food help explain my figure. Keep us informed of your plans. We need an excuse to leave town and especially would like to visit good old Newton again. We love you!

Holy Crap! (pardon my language)your house is beautiful! but you're right, it is a very small town and your moving truck would have been stuck there forever, had it not been for the good ol' dairy man! i'm glad you found somewhere you could all be a close family, that's such a blessing.
