New home sweet home

Wow, moving is a ton of work!! There are about a million other things I should be doing right now, but I thought I would take a minute to write since it has been forever. We are loving our new home. We still have quite a bit of unpacking to do but that might have to wait until spring. Right now is the busiest time of year for our family. Between Brian's two basketball teams, Jr Jazz games, Jazz games, church commitments, family commitments, and work dinners it seems we are not even home very often to enjoy our new home. But we are making progess and maybe one day next year we will be all settled in.

We miss our old neighbors and we think of you all often. It is nice to keep in touch and I hope we always will. It is also fun to see some of you at Jazzercise.

This year for Christmas Brian's parents instead of giving us a gift they took us on a snowmobiling trip to Yellowstone. We went last week and we had so much fun!! I had never been on a snow mobile before and I loved it! I don't think I have ever seen that much snow at one time in my entire life. It snowed about 24 inches just while we were there. It was also very relaxing to go on a trip with just adults. We even had a hot tub in our hotel room. It was a great trip!

Since it has been so long since my last post, we have had a ton of things going on with our family. So instead of trying to catch up and write about everything that has happened, in my next post I will just post a bunch of pictures of what we have been up to. Hopefully I will get that done either today or tomorrow, so check back.

Too Busy!!

I know it has been forever since my last post, but for once this time I think I have a pretty good excuse. These last few weeks have been absolutely CRAZY!! This whole drama of moving has been so stressful. I can't wait until this whole thing is over and we are settled in our new home. I think that there is some unwritten law that says nothing is ever easy. We had to bump our closing date a few days because the people who are buying our house didn't have their loan ready. So the big day is now on Friday. We are going to be able to close on both houses on the same day. We are going to sell our house in the morning and buy a house in the afternoon.

We had a great holiday and since we didn't have to move on Christmas eve, as was originally planned, we were able to relax a little. I have a ton of cute pictures of the kids on Christmas and sledding but they will just have to wait until after we are in the new home. I am just going to be too busy for the next week or so. In fact I should be packing right now rather than playing around on the computer. So I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but it might be a little while before my next post. Wish me luck! I can't wait for all of you to come and see our new home. Just so you know you are all invited to come by anytime!
