Moving!

So Brandon started a new job back in July and one of the perks of this job is that he can work from home! We did not have the home that could accommodate this perk (he was working in the rocking chair in Macy's nursery!) So we felt with all of the criteria we had set for our decision making on when we would move were all met...(ie., how much Brandon was making, our expenses, our savings....etc) We put the house up on the market. Two years ago when we tried to move we had a few people walk thru and only one really low offer after about 3 months so we felt the time was not right for us then, but this time things were hugely different! We had the house up for a week, (with multiple walk thrus almost every day) and by day 7 the lady that bought it had walked thru and was working up an offer! 3 weeks later we moved!
We (mostly me and Tyson) were sad since we had been there for 5 1/2years. (Tyson was 4 months when we moved in) We have some really great friends from that neighborhood, but it is also exciting to move on to our next "chapter" in life!

Amongst all the chaos, the kids did well at entertaining themselves!
Lily took off her pants and climbed in the water table with just her undies! Tyson thought it was hilarious so he climbed in too! (We made him keep his pants on!) Got to love Lily's goggles too!
While preparing to move, I got behind on laundry so the kids had to wear Dad's shirts to bed! They thought it was awesome!

So, We are now living with Brandon's parents until we find a house! We currently have an offer on a short sale in Lehi at Traverse Mountain, but short sales take FOREVER! so we are still looking in Herriman, Riverton, So. Jordan, Sandy, Draper, Lehi....If you know of any good homes let us know! Wish us luck!
(My back up plan is to actually outlast Brandon's parents and drive them crazy enough that they move out and we get their house!! ;)
