moving

well, we signed all the papers on friday and officially bought our new house! of course the bank still owns most of it, but just give us 30 years and then we'll see who owns it outright.

so, here are the highlights...

friday we signed the papers and cleaned it up a bit. we also brought over a little stuff.

saturday we got up early to get our budget moving van and then loaded all our stuff from mom's place onto the van. thankfully a few of mom's neighbors were willing to help us out. we got it all on the truck in about an hour, which isn't too shabby. brian did a great job driving the huge 24 foot-long truck to our new place. we then had some great helpers assist us in the unloading process. once we got everything in we had to do a few errands (like take the truck back to american fork), but we spent most of saturday afternoon/evening unpacking and getting settled in. brian went out and bought our new push lawn mower and moved the lawn. we--particulary brian--learned the importance of staying on top of your lawn. it's a lot easier to mow when it's not long. we finished the day very tired and very sore. i have sore muscles that i haven't felt in a really long time. some i'm sure i've never felt before.

sunday we did more settling in and went to our new ward. our building is right across the street from the temple, which seems pretty strange, but this is utah. it's a big ward, but it seems interesting and like it will work out well for us. brian even scored us an invite to a pool party/bbq tonight. after church it was more unpacking, moving furniture, ect. i'm pretty proud of our place...we've done a good job of getting things pretty set up...especially considering that we've only been there a few days. once things are in a little better shape we'll send some pictures.

so, anyway that's about it. we'll get our internet set up tomorrow so i can start working from our home, which will be nice. it wasn't super fun driving to mom's this morning. it's much nicer just to roll out of bed and jump on the computer.
