It appears that everyone is holding off on updating their blogs in an attempt to get me to update mine.. ALRIGHT ALREADY!! Not much has been going on at this end of happy valley. Our house is under contract (THAT'S NEW!) and apparently the buyers are really motivated to buy! I guess they looked at like 35 houses before coming to ours, and they loved it! I'm thinking their price range is low.. because our house isn't that amazing for Utah Valley. Oh well, I'm not going to try to change their minds! So, we've been getting ready to move out and fixing the random things from FHA. If everything goes according to plan, we will probably be moving out around the 18th of this month.
When we move out, we're moving into my parents lovely basement for a few months while we save for a down payment. It's a little annoying, but that will help our payments go down to a more reasonable number and we'll be able to afford something nicer! (always a good thing!) Moving with the fam damily isn't going to be easy for that long, but it will definitely be good for us financially. We're hoping to keep our lives separate even though we are going to be sharing meals and a lot of our living space with my awesome family. To get this done, we're going to watch tv in our room as much as possible and play with friends whenever we can. Another great thing about moving in with the folks is our church attendance. We don't have any excuse besides not feeling comfortable enough in our wards. But even that's not an excuse, we just need to do it! But living at home will add more pressure for going. It will be good!
What else.. Still busy at work, but it's definitely more manageable. I'm getting into better routines and I work more efficiently now. I'm still hoping for a raise in the near future, but that will be determined later, I'm sure. I had a great birthday! It wasn't too exciting, but it was good. Cody bought me a very nice bouquet of lilies, roses, and daisies. It was wonderful!
We're heading to Moab tomorrow after work for a family shindig. I'm pretty excited! We won't be down there very long, but it will be good to see the family and catch up! In other news, I've been writing more and more.. So, ya'll should skip on over to my writing blog and check out my short story attempt.. I'm loving it, so I hope it doesn't sound too bad. Well, that's it for now, kids. I hope everyone is well!
