Update!

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything for quite some time now. We've been pretty busy moving lately. That's right; for any of you who may not be aware, our townhouse in Spanish Fork never sold! We had four different offers, all of which fell through at the last second (very frustrating as you can imagine). So, when our contract at our apartment came to an end, we decided to just move back in and let me tell you, it feels like we never left! The girls love their "purple room" and I love having more space, including a third bedroom that we can use for an office/playroom. And it is nice to see all of our old friends again.
Here are some highlights from the last couple weeks (Note how many times the word move(d) is used):

Week 1) Moved Dan's sister and spent the weekend in Brigham City and Shopping (Dan went with me to all my fav. stores; he's such a trooper).

Week 2) Went to the "Living Planet Aquarium" (such a waste of time/money in my opinion) and helped my sister move into her THIRD STORY apartment (just givin' you a hard time sis.).

Week 3) Spent 17 hours painting our townhome, packed, and moved ourselves! Big shout out to everyone who helped! You guys are the bomb--you know who you are!

Week 4) Dan started his new job and I've been trying to get everything unpacked.

As indicated above, Dan got a great internship doing land acquisition for the church! He's always wanted to work for the church so he's very excited! And I'm very excited because we get to stay in Utah! Dan will also stay very busy this summer working with his Dad on a book about First Presidencies and organizing the Real Estate Club, of which he is President, for the up-coming school year. Sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging, I'm just proud of my hubby. He works so hard and does so much for his family and everyone around him; as I have said before, he is my Hero!
I hope to be able to post some pics soon. It's Krista's Birthday on Friday--I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS TURNING THREE--so stay tuned!

Ashley- We would love to hang out with you and July 15th sounds great, but I am sure we could squeeze you guys in sooner! I keep telling myself someday life will settle down, but I'm begining to have doubts. Only time will tell.

UGH! I know how torturous it is to try to sell your house! And to have 4 offers fall through is awful, to say the least. I'm glad it worked out in the end and your back home! Your girls are as beautiful as their mother!
