Only 2 1/2 weeks to go

The past couple of weeks have been somewhat like a dream. We found someone who wants to buy our home. Yeah! If everything follows through, we will be moving Sept. 13th.

In a way I am so excited to leave Magna, but on the other hand, I am going to miss it. I have had so many happy memories in our home. It is where Hunter learned how to walk and to crawl up and down stairs. It is where we brought Jaina home after she was born and where she learned to crawl and walk. It is where Jon learned how to fix the broken water pipe that was spewing water everywhere in our basement and where he spent days on end installing laminate floors. It is where I painted morning and night for weeks because I was so excited that I finally had a place I could do that. It is where I've given the kids several dozen baths, walked up the stairs hundreds of times to put them to bed, andwhere Jon and I have watched ridiculous amounts of TV in our family room with the cranberry carpet. There are so many other great memories.

I am really going to miss the ward members. They are so humble and so friendly and I have learned so much and grown so much through the callings I have had. You truly do learn to love the ones you serve. But despite all that, I really can't wait to leave. I am so excited to be closer to family and be in an area where Jon will actually let me go jogging outside by myself.

It was such an adjustment for Jon and I to live in the Salt Lake Valley after both of us grew up in smaller towns. There is something about up North that Jon and I love and hope that one day we'll end up there again.

Through fasting and alot of praying, we felt like we needed to move and get ourselves in a better place financially and in the place where we will want to raise our family. We have been blessed with the opportunity to house sit for family for a year and a half and we feel it is going to be a great opportunity to save and decide on our next move. I have seen the hand of the Lord in this whole process and my testimony has grown so much stronger from living here.

Ok Carly, I'll get you back for this!

1. The way that I relax is by organizing my house. There is something about a nice, clean, orderly home that makes me feel somewhat normal.

2. I am a little obsessive about getting out of debt and building up our savings. My new favorite book is "The Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. I tell just about everyone I know about him if they haven't already heard of him. I use to be horrible with money, but I have since repented of my ways and am on my way to financial freedom! (okay that's a little cheesy)

3. I am a huge "Lost" fan. We finally finished watching the 4th season and I feel like I am going through withdrawals. The 5th season doesn't start until January, but luckily "The Office" will be on in a couple of weeks to get me through it.

4. I secretly love watching "Word World" and "Clifford the Big Red Dog" with Hunter. (come on, I know you do too)

5. I love to get new things, but then I hate to spend money, too. That is why I love the DI. Probably 90% of my kids clothes and books that I buy come from there.

6. I love it when my kids are just out of the bath and have clean PJ's on. There hair smells so good and then top that off with Baby Magic lotion or Aveeno Lavendar Vanilla lotion and I am in heaven.
