It's Ours!

On Thursday March 26th we finally closed on our new home! We have a lot of work to do before we can move in, but we couldn't be more excited! We closed Thursday and had one of our subs start working the next morning! Steve and I spent all day Saturday working there together, and boy was I tired! I just keep telling myself that it will be worth it. If anyone wants to come by to see it sometime, the address is 220 North 200 East in Alpine......we'll be there a lot for the next few months!

I know it is hard to see what is what now, but I'll post more pictures as we go. Our house is going to be so awesome! We feel so blessed that everything worked out so well.

And the best part.....I'll get to enjoy this view EVERYDAY!

I am one lucky girl!

We're Back!

We're alive! It has been one hectic month! We are living with my sister and brother-in-law and waiting to close on a home in Alpine.....boy is that an ordeal! Life has been great and an adventure....to say the least. Last Wednesday night I was driving on State Street in Lindon and I hit a deer....I know, the last thing I expected on such a main street in town! Luckily I was able to slow down enough that the damage was not too bad. The deer got up and ran away, and this is what my car looks like......what do you think? I was pretty lucky, it could have been so much worse......I was going about 40mph!

The hoodSomething to remember the deer

(gross)

Steve and I left for Las Vegas the next day......we needed a vacation! We got into town and met up with 4 of our friends at the Dan Marino Restaurant in the Hooters Casino.......I know Hooters, but Dan makes yummy ribs. Then we were off to see the Cirque de Soliel show at the MGM, KA. Our friend Kara had been in town on a business trip and she was able to snag us all FREE tickets! It was such a cool show! That makes 2 free Cirque de Soleil shows for Steve and I.....thanks Lance and Kara!

After the show

The next night we walked the strip and saw the normal Las Vegas sights.....the Volcano at the Mirage.....Shops at the Miracle Mile......The Gardens at the Bellagio.......and my favorite the Fountains at the Bellagio. We had a blast!

On the way home, we drove past the Las Vegas Temple........it was beautiful! It was a much needed vacation, but we were ready to get home.


The weather was perfect....we actually spent a few hours on Saturday at the MGM's pool....or should I say pools. They have a few pools and a lazy river! It was a great trip!

We will keep everyone updated on the progress of our home.......thank you to everyone who has been praying for us......we are very grateful!
