House Hunting

When Chris and I first started discussing when we wanted to find a house. I know it would be a long and painfull task. As most of you know I have a picky husband. So when I first started to look I had to get all of his requirements down, garage, sprinkling system, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, at least 1800 square feet, etc. It started back last year when I just started to look at houses on KSL and everyone I brought home was shut down. :( But we were in the thinking process so all I could do was dream. Then when we really got into it about 3 months ago. House after house I found wasnt what he and now I wanted. One day I was on KSL and found a house, I showed Chris and he said "ya I kinda like it". (Never in a millions years did I think he would approve, especially since this would be the first official house we actually go see). So we set up an appointment to go see it and right when we walked through it, we fell in love! But here was the down fall it was a SHORT SALE. We werent so sure what that entitled so when our Realtor told us it would take 3 to 8 months to hear on it we were devistated. We loved that house so much we couldn't wait. Well we thought about it and couldn't pass the offerr so we put a offer on it. Thank goodness we were the first one to put an offer on the house so that gets us a step closer. Well now here we are still waiting 3 months and nothing. Why do short sales have to take so long?Don't the Banks want to get rid of their mortgages? If anyone can give me a reasonable explanation as why the Banks hold those houses so long please do.

So while still waiting for that house we decided to keep looking to see if we could find anything better. 20 houses later that we've seen we ran into another house in Clinton. Well suprise suprise it is a short sale as well. But we couldn't pass that up also. So we put an offer on that one. So needless to say we are going to be waiting a long time to find our perfect house and to my husbands liking. I would agree with him after looking at all the houses you have to be picky to find the right one. I know one day we will find our house and will know it is the right one, but I want it right now. Or if anyone wants to give me a house I am totally fine with that as well perferablly this one.

I'll let you know when we do find the one! Hopefully sooner than later.

So proud!

Last week was an exciting week for my family. My brother was called to serve in the Sao Paulo Brazil Mission. I am so excited that he wants to serve our Heavenly Father. I am so proud of him and for all he has done and staying with the lord. I know he will do a great job and learn and grow in many ways. I will be sad to see him go but I know that he is doing what is right and he will become a better person for doing it. I love you boy and am very happy for you.

Oh how you love them!

I just love this girls and how happy she is all the time. Every time you see that big huge grin of her it just lights up your day! Love you baby girl.


Oh char, Mr. do everything to get into trouble. Got to love those mischievous day. How can you get mad at that face and his cute little voice. Love you Boogas!

Zacks Graduation

I can't believe that my only brother is graduating. I remember when we use to make fun of him for his missing teeth and how he could wistle like a cricket, and dressing him up lite a little princess, oh so fun! Even though grown up and is a giant and graduated man he is still my cute little brother. Great job Zack for getting through school and for achieving everything you did.

Love You! Me and Zack before the Graduation.

Vegas!

For our Anniversary Bud and I went to the city of lights! Vegas. We both haven't been to Vegas in a really long time so it was time.

We stayed in Treasure Island which was really amazing. Our view was over looking the strip.

Every night they had a show but it was too windy they couldn't put in on. It was sad because we would wait every night.

My favorite part was my dream! Shopping! They had some good shopping down here. My favorite was the Two story Forever 21! It was so big it took Bud 20 minutes to find me. Lets just say he wasn't too happy after that. You could spend hours in this place and not go through all of it.

We also went and saw a show Cirque du Soleil Mystere in Treasure Island. It was Amazing!

I forgot to take a picture of the outside. They didn't allow pictures taken inside but I should have.

This was a way fun trip! Thanks Deanna for the buddy passes.

Anniversary

My husband is so cute. Yesterday was our 3 years Anniversary and we both had to work, but he still wanted to make it special so he had some really cute flowers delivered to me. He is the best husband anyone could ask for. He is always willing to make me laugh, or twirl my hair, or help his family out. He has the kindest heart for his nieces and nephews. He is the most amazing uncle, he would do anything for them. My husband is the hardest worker both at work and home and at school. He is really brilliant at everything. It takes me 20 times to have things explained to me and only once for him. But he does his best at helping me understand and tries not to get frustrated. He has the tenderest heart for older people (suck-up) and is always willing to help them out. He is very gentle and big time mommas boy. I love how close he is to his family and how he treats everyone with kindness. I love him with all my heart and love being married to him and i'm so excited to have a lot more wonderful anniversaries with him.

I love you BUD!

So True!

I was reading on a blog and found this. It cracked me up when I read it because it is so true! Sorry its all stuck together i've tried everything so space it out. *Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. *I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when i was younger. *Was learning cursive really necessary? *Map Quest really needs to start their direction on #5. I'm pretty srue I know how to get out of my neighborhood. *Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. * I can't remember the last time I wasn't at lest kind of tired. *Bad decisions make good stories. *Can we all jsut agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. *I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to. *"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever. *I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away? *I hate leavnig my hosue confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. * I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. *I wish Google Maps has an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option * Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it. *I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in. *The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text. *I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. *How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said? *I love the sense of camarederie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brother and sisters! (This one is for you honey!) *Shirts get dirty. Underwear get dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. *Is it jsut me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year? *Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm From; this shouldn't be a problem.... *LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say" *As a drive I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter when the mode of transprotation, I always hate bicyclists. *Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what to do with it. *Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. *Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey-but i'd bet eveyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
