I know that I've mentioned it on my Facebook page, but I don't think I mentioned it on the blog yet......we sold our house!! We were able to do it without the help of our realtor so he released us from our contract and now we don't have to pay commission! Yeah for us! We got a pretty decent price out of it and are still left with a good amount of equity to put towards our new home. We think we are probably going to close the end of October and move out shortly thereafter. Andy's parents have been kind enough to offer their house for us to live in while we search for a new home. Which, by the way, there are a TON of great homes out there for a great price! We have a huge list to drive by, check out the neighborhood and decide if we want to see the inside. There is one in particular right now that we fancy in Orem. It is so close to Andy's work he could WALK to work everyday!!! It's a big older (built in 1991) but the landscaping is beautiful, the neighborhood is great and the kitchen is all remodeled and lovely. We should be going to see the inside hopefully on Saturday.
Kids are doing great in school. Samantha's writing is improving and so are her pictures. She loves her teacher and has made some good friends. Alex is such a boy and just sort of shrugs his shoulders about school. He could take it or leave it. But as far as I know, he is doing well.
Andy works. And flies on airplanes.
My cookie business has decided to suddenly take off!!! Which is so terrific and great, but horrible timing! I am supposed to start packing but instead I'm always baking! (Don't let that fact deter you from making an order though, my friends!!) I really appreciate everyone who has helped support me and placed an order. It's the best way for me to perfect my recipes and get a process in place. I have so many cookies to make on Monday that I have recruited my mom to come and entertain Alex so I can spend the whole morning baking!! Bless your heart mom! I'll pay ya!
I got to spend some time with my sweet nephew Caleb today. He made my day beautiful!
And here are the crazy kids after their last soccer game when they received their medals. So adorable!
