We moved!

We moved last Saturday to a really cute apartment. It has just enough space for us and the kitchen is huge! We are finally almost done unpacking everything...our closet needs to be organized...but we are so happy to be living here. In case you want to visit, our address is 682 N 500 E. Thanks to those who helped us move, we couldn't have done it without you! (and Kiley especially-you are pretty much amazing!)

We are blessed

Good news! We found an apartment! And a washer and dryer. And a mattress. In one day! We feel so blessed that we will be able to remain in our ward and that the apartment is in such good shape for the fantastic price. I just feel like Heavenly Father is watching out for us, amidst all of our chaos and hardships. We will be moving on Saturday, so this week will be spent packing and cleaning...I'm really excited...ha. No, I am excited to be in a new place that we can call "our own" (even though we don't own it ha). We're excited for this new step and we hope everything works out this week. Keep us in your prayers!

For Janae

Janae told me it's been a long time since I last posted, so here's an update on our lives. We've had a pretty emotional week. Here's the good news: Andy started school again, which makes us so happy. He's really excited to be back and is determined to be an A student. I wish him luck!
The weekend started out amazing. I was finally able to finish watching the series of "Alias". I've been watching it with some friends for almost 2 years and we were finally able to finish the last 2 episodes. What an accomplishment, right? Ha. Then Janae came up and it was so great to see her. She always brightens my day! :)
Now for the bad news: On Saturday, we were told that we had a week to get out of the house we're living in. We are living in a family friend's mother's home(confusing, right?) and they decided to sell it...without telling us. Needless to say, I was/am pretty upset about it. So, the rest of the weekend was spent trying to find a suitable apartment. We looked at 2 places that were pretty much trash. We have one other appointment to see an apt tomorrow and we're praying it will work out...since we only have til Saturday. Geez. So, that's a brief update on our lives. It's hard right now, but it can only get better. I have hope. If you know of any apartments that are nice and a good price in Logan, let us know. Thanks and I hope you have a great day!

Camera Issues

So, I realize this blog is kinda lacking something...pictures. We bought ourselves a Nikon Coolpix for Christmas and we were both really excited about it. Well, to make this story short, it didn't work properly. We were able to return it, but I still want another camera. I would love to hear feedback on what cameras you have and if you like them. Thanks for your help!

New Year's Fun

So this past New Year's we didn't really have plans. We could have gone to SL, but I had to work on New Year's Eve and the day after New Year's so it would have been a really fast trip. But then some of Andy's friends, who are the night managers at the Anniversary Inn, invited us over for games. We had so much fun with them! We played Sardines in the Inn and it was kinda fun to see the basement, attic, and rooms...places you don't really get to see unless you work there or pay a lot of money. After we did that, we played "I've Never" with a twist cuz we made it into a drinking game. Needless to say we all had to go to the bathroom pretty fast. Ha. It was a fun night and fun to spend with our friends. We're excited to see where this year takes us and especially grateful to be spending it with each other. We wish you the best this year! Go 2010!
