Living in style

Well I know it's been a while since my last post but it's been a crazy busy month. on the 12th of March we made an offer on a house. At that time we still weren't sure if we were even going to buy a house, everyday it was a battle, yes...no...yes...no back and forth we went. So when we made the offer it wasn't a definite thing. on the 16th of March the bank accepted our offer. Even after the offer was accepted we still didn't even know if we wanted to buy a house. We loved the house but didn't know if we wanted to change our life style to pay for a bigger mortgage. Finally a few days before we could withdraw our offer we decided to go forward with full force. So on Monday March 30th we closed! Tuesday March 31st we moved like crazy! I want to thank everyone for helping us move it turned out amazing, we were able to get everything in the trucks and trailers in an hour and a half, which I think is pretty amazing. Also they unloaded everything before I even got to the house! So Tuesday night we stayed at our condo one last time and moved the rest on Wednesday to our new house. Before we moved everything inside (it was all in the garage) my dad gave us new carpet for our new house, what an awesome dad! so now our new house smells like a new house and the carpet looks amazing! thanks dad!! So now the process begins, we have started cleaning everything before we move everything in from the garage, which I need to thank my mom big time, she has helped clean so much! she is amazing, she can take something like disgusting dirty blinds and make them look like new! thanks mom!!! So as for now I have gotten about 5 hours of sleep over the past few days and the house still looks like a disaster! I can't believe all that stuff fit into an 850 Sq Ft condo. It's totally amazing. Anyways.... I'll post some pics when I get everything put away because as for right now all you would see is just a bunch of boxes :) Also I would like to thank Laura and Dameon for the patio furniture. something we were going to need seeing as summer is coming, we love it!! and thanks to everyone else that helped us move... Steve, Ben, Ryan, Jen, Jordan, Jordan, Steve H., My parents, Lisa, Laura and Dameon.

Buying a house!

After much discussion and a lot of headaches we finally decided that it was time to move. Surprisingly it was a hard decission since we love our home so much and we love the ward. Plus were we live now is so close to work and school. But we thought it couldn't get any better to buy a house then right now. So last Wednesday we decided to put our condo up for sale, and we priced it a little high just to see if we could sell it. An hour after we put our condo on the MLS we had a call from a real estate agent wanting to come and see it for his clients. He told us if he liked it he would bring his clients on Saturday. Well after he came over he told us he would bring his clients the next day! so sure enough they came and seemed to love the place. They should we did a lot to it, it's probably one of the nicest looking condo's out there! well sure enough they put an offer in on Friday, so Saturday we had a decision to make, we were a little shocked and scared that everything was happening so fast but we finally decided it wasn't going to get any easier down the road and this is one of the best times to buy right now. so it was decided.... we would buy a house! we now have until April 8th to find a place of our own. We have been looking down in Herriman, which I'm sure we will end up there. We are looking for a place that doesn't have a finished basement so that we can grow into it as our family grows :) everything is really exciting and scary at the same time. I will keep everyone updated on what is going on and where we finally decided to call home.

Zalia Malinson

Darin's great grandmother had a possible stroke last week, she is such a wonderful person and I just wanted to take a minute to talk about her, she has grown to be a grandmother to me. and She has such a wonderful personality, she makes me laugh everytime we go visit her. She has one of the sharpest minds I've ever seen for someone her age. she turned 96 last year, and is still as bright as if she was 20. I am so glad I have been able to get to know her. we love you grandma.

Yay for Valentines Day!

Darin surprised me by taking me to a play, it was called "Cash on Delivery" it was hilarious, I would suggest it to anyone, but the last show was on Valentines day... but they have a lot of cool shows coming up. http://www.halecentretheatre.org/ if you would like to go just check out the website and see what is coming up. Phantom is next and I guess it's not the writters who wrote phantom of the opera, but it's the same story with the same characters. I really enjoyed this play, it was a british comedy about living off of the social service checks that they send for various things. All in all it was a wonderful Valentines day, Darin woke me up at 9 and gave me a rose with the tickets and then just spent the day together :) I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband, I love him with all my heart. Thank you baby!

Mom's Birthday!
