July in Utah

Here we are in Utah. The kids have had a good month living in both grandmas' houses. Brent and Jana are enjoying the mountain views and the lack of humidity and bugs.

We're counting our blessings, although we're extremely anxious to be settled. Actually, to tell the truth, it's been quite the roller-coaster. Finding the right home here in Utah ... working on selling the one in Texas ... financing the new one (Utah's not cheap next to Houston!) ... trying to sell the old one ... working out utilities, movers, Ivory Homes issues ... continuously dropping our price in Houston ... etc, etc, etc ... you get the idea. Roller-coaster! Nope, our house hasn't sold yet, and we close on the Utah home in one week.

But let's look at the bright side! Our new home is wonderful ... I couldn't be more excited. We chose to live in Lehi. Brent will ride the commuter express bus each morning to his job downtown. We'll live just a mile from the bus stop, so his commute is like 35 minutes ... pretty great! Our home is on the west side of I-15, just south of Thanksgiving Point. It's a new spec home. We're kind of suckers for new houses I guess (which we blame entirely on our parents, who never bought anything but new houses)! Fortunately we talked Ivory into paying for the sod so we can have a yard soon.

Anyone coming through Lehi, please stop by!!!
