So for about as long as I have known Beka she has wanted a canopy bed. She has asked and asked and we just have never purchased one. Yesterday we were out scouting out some new appliances and furniture and she found the bed she has always wanted. Mykl and Heidi told us to visit this furniture store in Lehi where the got some couches. We ended up getting a bedroom set instead of just the bed. We have never owned a bedroom set so I think it was about time. We bought a Queen head and footboard once but we only used that for a while before upgrading to a King mattress. So our plain old mattress now has a friend. The bedroom set included the canopy bed, the dresser w/mirror, and a nightstand. We got an additional nightstand so we could both have one.

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! :)

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.

Well it has happened. The house is under contract. The only bad thing about the whole thing, we have to be out by August 1st. That is less than 2 weeks! So we are currently spending all of our time packing this place up to move. We have aquired an apartment in Pleasant Grove that is right next to where our new house will be built. Then we can go and check on the progress on a daily basis. We will be moving the majorty of our stuff to a storage unit and then moving the important stuff to the new apartment. Hopefully we won’t be there for more than 4 months or so. I will update later when we have an expected build completion date. I talked with our builder and they have submitted our permits to build, so that is rolling along.

Our house is up for sale! We have decided to move our party to a new location. We put it up for sale on April 2, 2008. While we wait for that to sell, we have decided to build a new house in neighboring city Lindon. We are building a FieldStone home. We are super stoked to get building, but we can’t start building until this one sells. Click here to see the new floorplan.

This was us in Hawaii back in April.  This was a restaurant that we went to several times because it was fun.  The servers danced around and a dude walked around and made us balloon hats.  Well and the food wasn’t half bad either!
