Today was the first BYU game this season.  Tyler has been talking about going to the game for 2 weeks.  He just loves Football, which as a father I can’t help but be happy about that.  Lucky for me, as of right now he likes both the Cougars and the Bears.  BYU played a fairly easy opponent today, but struggled in the 3rd quarter.  Just some first game bobbles.  They ended up winning 41-17.  Next week the game is at Washington, so we will be heading to the cousins house to watch the game in his theater room.

After the game we went to the Olive Garden for dinner.  The waitress was nice enough to bring us a plate of Olives for Tyler.  As you can see he can’t just eat them, he must play with them first.  But that’s ok, because everybody used to do that as a kid.  It’s what you do with olives! :)

Here is a picture of our lot.  I put some red lines on it so you can kind of see the size of the lot.  The lot size is .29.  It is much longer than it is wide.  I would imagine that the house foot print will take up most of the width of the lot, but we should have a nice sized back yard.  Still waiting for those permits and then we can post a pic of the hole they dig! And what an amazing view huh!

Here are some updated floor plans to take a look at. These aren’t the construction ones, these are the ones that the Home Center creates to send to the Architech to create the final plans.

Our permits have been officially been submitted to the city of Lindon. After finalizing the plans they submitted our permits to the city for approval. They are estimating them to come back around 8/27, but that is a worse case scenerio. We are hopeful that they will come back sooner, but we won’t get our hopes up. After they get the permits back we should have a hole in the ground within a few days.

Well today at 5:30pm we are officially homeless.  After 6 long years of living on Snow Springs Drive, it has come to an end.  We signed our papers yesterday and the loan processed today.  We finished moving out with the help of Mykl, and then cleaned the place up.  We think we left it looking pretty darn good.  So now the life of the apt.  We released our building contingency so they can submit the permits to build our house now.  We go tomorrow to finalize ALL of our upgrades to the house.  We have just a few.  Hopefully this house will be everything that we have ever wanted so we can stay there for a long time.  With the money from the other house we should be able to do just about anything we want with the new house.  Our last house was new but we didn’t get to pick anything but the carpet, because it was a spec home.  It was a great house.  We learned how to do a lot in that house.  Finished the basement (never do again),  put in a yard (never do myself), never live next to a mink farm again, never live so close to power lines, the list goes on.  It was a great first house and we are ready to move on.  You gotta take the good with the bad.  I will post pictures of our lot as soon as they start building.  Maybe I should take a pic of it before they dig it up.  Keep ya posted.
