We're moving...

Perfect timing. Right before finals, snow, and the holidays, we know. Long story short, we wanna save money and my condo is less expensive. So we decided to rent the West Jordan house because it hasn't sold and the tenants in Provo were leaving so it made sense. Plus, I was offered a job to nanny for my friend Katie in Orem and it just worked out. So, within 4 days we decided to move and were already packing.

We went to check the tenants out in Provo and when they don't show up it's not a good sign. I went in and the place was in a no-need-for-details condition. So, this is my sexy hubs carrying out the nasty carpet. We had to re-paint the entire house, replace the carpet, kitchen faucet, microwave, toilet paper mountings, and both bathroom fixtures. There was something unnatural going on in the fridge and marker all over it as well as the washer and dryer. So, we've had a super cool time trying to balance work, school, remodeling & moving all in like 4 days:)
Bill has the best Dad. His parents have a carpet company and when he heard we needed some carpet, he found a remnant and drove out all the way from California and brought it to us. This is how they incorporate fun with moving:) Bill's dad is a great golfer and was teaching Bill the best way to swing, if that is the right lingo.



The kitchen getting all packed up...




The best friends a girl could ask for. Ash, Daye and Cam Manwill helped me for HOURS painting, cleaning, painting & cleaning. There is no way I could have been ready to lay carpet without them. The best part? They called and texted me for days to see if I needed any more help. Awesome Girls.
