My Clan's story: New House

WOW, what a few months...We sold our house, and then lost 2 houses we put offers in on. We did end up getting the third house (which I really like) but we were homeless for almost a month. So we ended up moving in with Scott mom Carolyn. She is a saint for letting us stay with her. I don't know what we would have done without her I owe her big time. MaKia pretty much lived out of her car since she works so late in Lehi I didn't want her driving to Riverton. My cousins Terrance and Laura saved us by letting her sleep at their house. It made it so I didn't have to worry about her as much but even with that arrangement made she was still a little gypsy....I had so much help I can't even begin to express my gratitude towards everyone. Scott's cousin Lori and his boss Tom and my cousin Terrance helped us move out of the old house and put everything into our storage unit. They stuffed it full. Terrance even stored some of my stuff in his garage for safe keeping (this included Kaden's basketball hoop). Scott's sister Tricia took our older dog Misty for us, the Menloves took our bird Sitka and Mersadez, who was house sitting for a friend, took Koda. We were able to store our trailer at the storage unit and all our pictures and electronics we kept at Scott Moms house. My mom was able to store my piano for me (still need to get it out of her place :). Without so many people stepping up to help us out I really don't know what we would have done.

We finally closed on my new house but no moving in....We did sleep there though just moved the trailer over and put mattresses and blow ups down on the floor. We had to replace the carpet and paint before I could live in it happily :) So after 4 days of painting and carpet; we hired starving students to move our stuff over from the storage shed. Then little by little we brought in one box at a time. Terrance was my hero again and brought over our bikes and Kaden's hoop (we were so worn out I am so thankful he was willing to do this trip for us :). I still haven't got my piano but hope to have it this week (when you see the pictures the piano room is still in progress). I love my house and I am so glad to be moved in. This was the worst moving experience of my life so hopefully I will be able to stay put and not do this again. It was way to stressful and heartbreaking I don't think I could survive another move.

My exercise sat on the back burner. We did a few workouts at Scott's moms house then moving counts right. Now I have my own little exercise room that I can use. So Scott put up a TV on the wall and all my stuff is in the closet (I have to share this room with Kaden it's his game room and it will be our guest room if anyone ever needs a place to stay). It is also the only room we didn't paint we just left the "lovely" wall paper up and said it looks great LOL.
