Happy Birthday To Hailey

Today is Hailey's 9th birthday. Wow how time flys. She has brought much love, affection, and energy to our home. We are so greatful to have her in our family. We are finally in our house and we love it. It has pleanty of room for us and I wonder how we ever fit into the smaller homes. We have not been to our new ward yet. But have had visits from some neighbors. We are excited to meet new friends.

We have a WINNER

ok, we have yet another verbal agreement and plan to sign a contract on Monday. We have looked from Provo to Lehi. We called every home in our neighborhood, and finally found two homes that accepted our applications. One was in Lehi and the other was in Pleasant Grove. Because of the market and the skidish lenders we have opted to do a long term rent. We chose the house in Pleasant Grove. It is 2400 Sq ft, and we can still have our animals. We cannot keep our beautiful sweet lab Lily. She is the best dog. But we have had the others too long and can't get rid of them. We are very sad. But we have to move on. We should be all moved before the 1st of Aug. Wish us luck.

Life

Ok, you think you are doing the right thing, and then you just can't seem to get it right. We don't get to move into the neighbors house after all. Long story that I don't feel like getting into. When we know what turn our life will take I will let you know.

Addindum to Avoiding Everyone

Ok, if you didn't read my last blog. Do read it or you will be confused. It is 11:18 PM and we just spent the last 2 hrs talking to our neighbors who live in Ogden but also own the home next door which has sat vacant for a while now. We are able to lease their house until the market gets better and the lenders are more comfortable with lending again. We are really excited. It is a really nice house and they are great people. I am a still sad about the house in Eagle Mt cuz I have a close friend out there too. But Ward really felt strong about the decision to stay here and I really love the ward here. So we are staying. I am just glad to have a stable home finally. So we move next door and stay put. Yippee!!!!!

Avoiding Everyone

"Everybody say good bye house!" Name that movie. Ok, I will help it is Toy Story. Yes that is right we have to say goodbye one more time. We are totally heart broken, depressed, confused, etc. We found out that the owner of this house has to move back in. Good thing we hadn't signed a contract. The lady who owns this home is the nicest person. She too had to say goodbye to her home in TX. We just cannot figure out how a place were we feel so good could be wrong. We just got this news two weeks ago. We have looked high and low to find a home here in this ward. Nothing and I mean nothing is working.

There is some good news. We have found a very nice home that we can purchase and be stable in. Bad news it is in Eagle Mt. I really, really love the area it is beautiful and peaceful. The price is right. But the drive isn't. We have exhausted all of our efforts and prayed endlessly. Even though that is the last place we economically wanted to be it seems to be the only place or area I should say that is in our favor. The Lord works in mysterious ways and everything happens for a reason. Last night we had a family prayer just for this situation and today we are feeling more peaceful. We have not closed yet and don't have a set date yet. Verbally we have agreed to Aug. 11. We would appreciate every one's love and support in this difficult decision. I have spoken with many who are so sad. Eagle Mt. is 20 min. west of I-15 and Lehi. We are really excited for a stable home (finally) but so so sad to leave our ward and some wonderful friendships we have made the last 2 months. TTFN!
