moved

finally, i think i've got a minute (and an internet connection) with which to blog. then i realized we have to head back down to provo for the night. we've been moving since wednesday night and i feel like i have been cut off from the world! the new house is coming along and despite a minor freak-out (when we opened the door for the first time and found the place completely dirty and smelling of dog urine), i am beginning to really love the place. i (and by "i" i mean "we", thanks to the help of the in-laws) dove right in and painted nash's room, the living room, the front door (finished up with a new knocker and kick plate), and ordered the carpet (to be installed monday!). i love having a home where i can do whatever i want (like paint the front door bright teal) without being fined by an HOA. i love having a yard and i LOVE my front room (to be "the library"-tons of windows). steve and i both agree that working on this place is actually sort of fun-it's a pretty good canvas and feels like a legit home compared to our old townhome. it was sad to say goodbye, but i have a feeling it will be even more so when we leave this place in three to five years. {pictures to come!}

p.s. shouts out to everyone who helped us with the big move (brad, josh, casey, jp, emilie, stevie t, mitch & andy), but a HUGE SHOUTOUT to deb deb. what a trooper. despite our telling her we'd be able to do it on our own, she showed up bright and early thursday morning and helped us move, watch nash, clean, and paint. seriously, i don't know what we would have done without her!
