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.
So my dad and I have been doing that KSL golf champions challenge every Tuesday night for the last 3 months or so, and we have been doing fairly decent. Back on June 14th I lucked out and won the event. So this qualifies me to play in the Championship on this coming Tuesday. My dad unfortunately never qualified. He took 2nd twice and 3rd twice. Missing first both times by less than a foot :( . But I can’t complain cuz he always shares his winnings with me, so I have some new golf balls and putter to show for his efforts. Anyway, the Championship will be airing this coming Saturday (August 2nd) night at 11pm on KSL channel 5. Tune in to see if I won. Ok, I’m sure if I do win, I don’t think I will be able to contain myself and will have to write about it sooner.
So it has been 11 months and I have dropped a whopping 97 lbs. now. I am trying so hard to hit that century mark, but the last 10 lbs has been going so very slow. My body just doesn’t want to lose anymore. I can honestly say, I do not recall ever weighing this little. As we were packing the other day, I found my letterman’s jacket from high school. Now Beka and I have discussed on several occations if I weighed this much in High School. She swears that I was smaller in high school. But of course I disagree, and tell her that I can not recall the last time I weighed this little. So I put on the jacket…needless to say, I could overlap the front of the jacket. I’m going to go with this being the smallest I have been in a VERY LONG TIME.
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

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!
Happy Birthday to Brianne today!
Well it’s that time boys and girls! Tyler has started taking swimming lessons yesterday. There is a lady in PG that has a pool and she gives private lessons to mostly kids. They start off with a 10 day safety course that basically teaches him how to float on his back, get to the edge of the pool, and learn to put his face in the water. Which we can’t wait for. He hates washing his hair in the bath. Beka is going to take him today to his lesson so she will snap some shots and then we can post them.
