Halfway Moved

Well, I have no Thanksgiving pictures to post because my camera cord is in a box somewhere between here and Kentucky. We spent the beginning of the week packing up and loading up our 'pods' with all of our stuff (Thank you so much to everyone that helped). When the 4 pods were full, we still had a living room full of stuff...it was a lot of money to get another pod so we spent Wednesday morning (like 5 hours) re-arranging and re-packing and fit most everything in. I wish I had taken a picture of them full. We used pretty much every square inch. There were a few things that didn't make the cut, but for the most part we got the important things. I felt a little like a pioneer trying to prioritize what we really needed and just kept thinking somewhere in those pods are boxes full of hangers and I have to leave my treadmill here? You have to be kidding. Anyway, I am so glad we are done with this side of it (only 2 more moves to go!). We had a really nice Thanksgiving with Steve's family and have been so grateful that we could stay at my parents house while they are out of town. Steve went back to Kentucky this morning and I leave on Tuesday. We are really going to do this! It seems a little surreal. I am excited but aprehensive and it will be good to finally be moved instead of just talking about it and to have our family back together. Kentucky, here we come!

Cougar Fans!!

Davis has to be the cutest BYU fan ever (Steve is going to LOVE this!) I had to go down to BYU the other day to get my transcripts and I couldn't resist making a little stop by the bookstore! I just love being on campus...so many fun great memories. Just being there makes me happy! Davis even says Go Cougars! So cute! We will be cheering loud for our team tomorrow! Go BYU! Beat Utah!

Watch out Dancing with the Stars!

Davis has been cracking me up with his dance moves lately. Here is a little taste of the fun!

Kentucky, Apartments and Houses

First news first...Our house went under contract yesterday! We are so so excited and just praying that it actually goes through. I don't think that I am going to breath until closing. Happy Day! If it really sells life will be so much easier and less stressful! So that is my great news for today!

Davis and I got back from visiting Steve in Kentucky on Tuesday. Davis was really good on the way there but I think that he was possessed by the Devil himself on the way home. I have never been so glad to arrive somewhere. I can not express in words how bad it was! When we got home I had to put him down for a nap and take a few hours to recover although I am still not sure that has happened! I am dreading the next flight in a couple of weeks.

We looked at more houses while I was there and found one that we loved that was willing to do a lease option so we made an offer. However, I don't think this woman watches the news because she was not willing to budge on her price and thinks she is going to make a ton of money on the house. I wish her luck, but she will not be making a ton of money from us! So it was back to the drawing board. By drawing board I mean we went and rented an apartment. I was really disapointed but in the long run I know we will make a much better decision. This way hopefully our house will sell and we will have time to find what we really want at a price we really want and not be pressured by a deadline. I am not too excited about moving twice or having all our stuff in storage or spending Christmas in an apartment, but it definitely is not the end of the world and at least we will be together with Steve again.

Steve gets here the week of Thanksgiving and we are packing up and moving for real that week. It should be interesting. I guess I'd better get packing! Thanks for all the prayers for our house to sell. We are so grateful for them and you!

Happy Halloween!

Okay, sorry about so many pictures but Davis was so stinking cute in his Lion costume I couldn't stop taking pictures and there were so many cute ones to choose from. Plus, this is mostly for Steve since he was kickin it in Kentucky and didn't get to participate in our Halloween festivities. Davis was so much fun...he caught onto the trick or treating (aka if I go up to people and look cute they give me candy) really quickly. If you said candy, he would run to it as quick as he could (he tripped on his tail several times!)! He liked to take the candy and put it in his bag himself. He really was just as cute as could be.
Who can resist this cute little lion?

Davis and Mom (an orange shirt is about as festive as I get on Halloween!)


Andrew, Madeline and Davis (our favorite neighbors across the street...they came trunk or treating at Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's ward with us)

Davis and Grandma Wright

Davis, Mylee and Tyler had so much fun trick or treating in their neighborhood. They were so cute to wait for him and help him up the stairs and make sure he got candy too. What good cousins.

Mylee and Davis playing in Aunt Stacy's wheelchair (Sheldon pushed her around the neighborhood in so she could trick or treat with the kids so soon after her surgery). Mylee is getting pretty good at navigating the wheelchair all around the house!

Tomorrow is Halloween...


Today I had a terrible realization...tomorrow is Halloween and I have not done one single thing to get ready for Christmas. I have been so distracted by this whole moving to Kentucky thing that I must have completely lost my mind. I like to be completely ready for Christmas by Halloween. Can you believe I haven't even purchased one gift. This is not good. Like I said, I think I have lost my mind.
