Today was a good day


Today was one of those days that was just.....good

I lost 3 pounds this week, AND I got a super cool stay at home job that my friend Kate told me about (really excited about that!).We went to Taipan and ALL the kiddos fell asleep on the ride over so I got to go in Taipan ALL BY MYSELF (every girls dream= Taipan with no kids or husband rushing you!) After that we took the kids to the Mayan. It's a really fun restaurant where there are divers that put on a show throughout dinner.I think I liked it as much, or better than my kids!

They were in heaven. Justin and I won the "cool parents" award with that one ;)

We came home and walked to Smiths to get a few things, it was a beautiful night! It made me miss my Dayton/Walla Walla friends a little (there are LOTS of beautiful nights in Dayton).

I mentioned before that we are "home tending" we get to pay super cheap rent to live in this beautiful house RIGHT DOWNTOWN (.75mi from the Temple!) we have to keep up the yard, pay utilities and show it.

YES we are taking a big risk that is could sell tomorrow (that would really be crappy!) OR it could sell in 6 months, who knows???



Welcome to our home tend house!
they are asking CRAZY amount for it!!!
apparently the Avenues is the place to be.
 Smiths is RIGHT down the street!
 Beautiful Kitchen
 This is Ava Girl with "bow head" when we take her bows off her hair is CRAZY lol!!
 Cool brick wall in the kitchen

 View outside the boys room
 HUGE walk in closet....it is literally bigger than my kitchen in my house in Dayton
It will be fun to live in the SLC Avenues for a little while, but to be quite honest I will be glad to get in a..... not so "Richy rich" area. We have been able to meet up with a couple of good old friends and we are loving that, but on the same hand really missing our awesome friends in WA.
Like I said it was a good day!

Oh my goodness! It's so great to get an update on things. You are so fast to be all moved in already, from the looks of things. I love the house, and hope you can stay for a little while. The Mayan is such a fun place. We went there 8 years ago, definitely would keep kids entertained!

The Mayan is so awesome! It was so good to see you guys! Love your place and the area you are living in. That part of Salt Lake is beautiful. Can't wait to hang out with you more. Congrats on the new job!
