The Plan

We're moving. I am so glad we are moving. I can't wait to be back together with my husband and have our family as one. Its been a very difficult year. Now that Jeff is gone again my stress level has risen tons. Between Carson up at night crying that he misses daddy or that there is a monster in his room, to Jonas going through a REALLY fussy week, I am managing about 4 hours of sleep a night.

We sold our contract, yes, we really sold it this time. The new people have officially signed the lease and we are outta here. We are suppose to check-out on the 14th, but since that is next Thursday and Jeff won't be here, we are moving all of our stuff out on Saturday while he is home for the weekend. Then I'll have all next week to clean. So this Sunday will probably be our last in the ward....I hope they FINALLY get us Jonas' blessing certificate! We will miss everyone a lot--our experience in the 77th ward has been an amazing one, but it is time for us to move on with our lives.
We have found an apartment in West Jordan. It is a three bedroom and is 1400 square feet....a nice upgrade from our current 972 square feet. The complex has a pool, spa, playground equipment, exercise room, and on-site Day Care/Preschool. We've submitted our application and will hear back tomorrow if we are approved...I think we should be, last time I checked our credit report it was really good. Of course as I have learned over the past few months, there is never a sure thing until its said and done. So I guess I'll let you know tomorrow if we get in or not. The only problem is that the apartment isn't available until September 9th. So that means I'm in Firth until then...or I can go chill in SLC with Jeff's family....but that is 8 people in a little apartment....tight quarters! Here is the floor plan for our (hopefully) new apartment.

I don't know how you do it by yourself. It will be nice for you to get moved down here and have your husband back. Sorry your boys have been a lot of work for you - hopefully they give you a break. So glad you found an apartment! 1400 sq feet is huge! Nice upgrade :) I hope your move goes quickly and if there's anything we can help you out with when you get down here, let us know. Good luck getting out on Saturday!

I would love it if you just went and chilled in Firth. I am going to be there for Kyle's wedding the 14th through the 25th. I am excited to go back to Idaho for a few days. CONGRADULATIONS on selling the contract. Sounds like things are finally working out for you guys.

You are wonder woman! I don't think that I would have the strength or the energy to do what you do. Well congrats of selling your lease and finding a new apartment, change is sad sometimes but always exciting! I was curious about the candle things but I am leaving town for a week so maybe I should just email you. :)
