We bought a house!

And naturally, both camera and camera cord are lost! So once I find them I will post pictures of our new house. I would have posted a notice sooner, but the last week has been CRAZY.

Last Wednesday at 9:30 I got a call from our lender asking us if we wanted to close on the house at 11am, a day early. So we scrambled and got our documents together and closed on the house after signing about an inch worth of paperwork!

We had to be out of our apartment by Friday afternoon, so pretty much Wednesday through Friday was nonstop carloads and U-Haul loads between here and Spanish Fork. And then we only got our cable and internet hooked up a couple days ago. It was a lot harder going without those than I would have imagined! If I had one or the other it wouldn't be as bad but without either it was quite interesting. I'm the kind of person that needs background noise in the form of talking, not music, so I usually have the tv on when I'm cleaning and things.

Thank you to everyone who helped us move everything down! Special shout-out to Pete and Rachel, who not only spent 6 hours helping us lay the hardwood floor a couple weeks ago, but who also spent several hours on Thursday helping us move things down despite the fact that they were busy with graduation that day. Also special thanks to my parents (who never read this blog anyway but oh well). They have been tremendously helpful, what with my dad helping me lay the hardwood floor and then transporting our new fridge down from Farmington, and then my mom spending most of Friday with me helping me clean the apartment for our cleaning check and running carloads down to the new house. Couldn't have down it without any of you! Also a big thanks to my sister Ayisha and to my in-laws who have been incredibly helpful. And last but not least to Kristin who helped me paint back when the house was just sheetrock and cement, and then being our first official visitor!
