SOLD

We finally sold the house and are set to close on the 8th of November. Michael is going to fly in on the 3rd to help pack up the house. We will sign papers on the 8th then load in the car and drive to Saint George that day. We will spend the night in Saint George with Michael's parents then drive the rest of the way to Arizona. We don't have a house yet. I am going to leave the kids here with my mom for 2 days next week fly to Arizona and pick out a house with Michael. We will stay with Michael's sister till we close on a house there. We are hoping to be into our new home by Thanksgiving. We are very excited and can't wait to be together again and start our new life in Arizona. We will miss all our friends and family here in Utah. Utah will always be home for me and I plan to visit a lot.

Trying to catch up

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been 4 months since my last blog entry.
What can I say other than it has been a crazy summer. It all began back in May. I was looking forward to a relaxing and fun summer. With the adoption of Esther in July 2008 and the birth of Henry in June 2009 came more house renovations to accommodate such children blessings. So the last two summers lacked that great summer fun. I was determined that nothing was going to ruin this summer. I wanted to spend time at the pool with the kids and do very little work on the house. My plans changed before summer even got here. At the beginning of May Michael and I decided that it was in our best interest to make a move to Arizona. This was not an easy decision and I won't go into all the details but that this is something we are supposed to do. With that decision I knew my summer was gone. It meant that the rest of the house projects would need to be finished in order to put the house up for sale. The week after we decided to move I found out I was pregnant. Now I really knew my summer was long gone. This meant 2-3 months of morning sickness. So between house projects and the pregnancy, life has been a little busy. Michael started his job back in August and I am still here in Utah waiting for the house to sell. We continue to wait till we can be together again and start a new life in Mesa, AZ where I will leave Utah winter and have more summer to maybe enjoy. We are way excited to add another baby to our clan in January. I will try to keep everyone updated on the house and when we make the actual move to Arizona.
