I know it's been a while...

so i know that i'm the worst at updating my blog lately, but life is kind of crazy. so this week started out with a bang. it all started at 4:30 am sunday morning when we had to catch our flight up to salt lake city to finally move all of our stuff out of the condo. when we arrived at the condo our movers were already there and ready to go. we just let them in and away they went. john and i just stood there feeling a little weird not doing anything to help but they wouldn't let us. having professional movers is the best thing ever, thanks citi financial for that. we finally signed the papers to sell our condo monday morning, shipped the honda to arizona and the movers were moving everything down to the truck. while they were busy we got to have dinner with sarah, brian, carolyn and david. i really miss them and wish that i could have packed them onto the truck too. everything in utah happened so fast and went so smoothly i thought things were going to continue that way, boy was i wrong.

we were suppose to sign the papers to buy our new house on tuesday but of course the title company had not received them. our realtor told us to go down on wednesday to sign and the docs were still not there so we had to wake up at the butt crack of dawn the next morning and sit in traffic trying to get to their office by 8 (of course we were late.) we finally signed them thursday morning and then at 5 that evening we get a call that they had put the wrong city on all the papers and we had to meet up with the lady and resign them. finally this afternoon john got the keys to our house, just in time to have the house painted tomorrow and then have our furniture moved in on Monday.

since coming to arizona jack has had two ear infections and now a sinus infection while teething. i know it sounds crazy that jack being 2and a half is still teething but it is true. my sweet jack jack apparently was left back in utah and we have a new jack for arizona. i'm hoping once we finally get into our own house things will settle down and jack will morph back into his old self. i know i sound like downer debbie right now but i am extremely grateful for this new opportunity but it is all a little overwhelming. i couldn't do it without the help and support of my sister steph. i owe her big time. also thanks to buffy and ian for hooking us up with an awesome realtor in utah, sarah for letting me complain to here and carolyn for all your help with the condo. this post has become more and more cheesy as i continue so i will stop now. hope you were able to make it through this boring post.

Oh Shannyn- I miss you! I'm so glad we went to dinner. Why didn't we do that more when you actually lived here? We're just dumb I guess. I hope Jack gets better for you. He's probably just freaking out with all the change. I can't wait to see pictures of your house with your cute stuff in it.
