We're not homeless!!

This week has been filled with craziness for us! We were thrilled on Monday when we were finally able to pay off my car and become debt free (for the next two months.... before starting Grad. School in Arizona) It was a big relief because we didn't think we were going to be able to get it paid off before we moved. Thankfully, a miracle occurred, and we were able to make it all work and now the car is officially ours!! Wahoo!

We also put our Provo apartment up for sale and had about 15 million people look at it. It sold after about 24 hours, and so we're set to go when we move. We were getting a little nervous, however, because we had applied for housing on campus in Arizona about 3 months ago, and still hadn't heard back. Luckily, we heard back yesterday and WE HAVE A HOUSE!! We got an apartment on campus, so Brett will just have to walk across the street to go to school. This is a huge blessing in itself, since we'll only have 1 car when we get out there, and I'll be working for a while.

I tried to get some pictures of what the apartment looks like, but they won't let me copy them.... so let's just say, it's a bit of a step above where we are right now. It has a REAL fridge and a REAL stove. Not a mini-fridge and an easy-bake oven!! I'm so excited about that, I can barely stand it! We also got an apartment that has 1 bedroom and a den. So, a little more space than we have right now. I'm so ridiculously excited about the move-- now that we have a place to go. It's making it seem a lot more real. I think it's incredible that it's only 2 months away. Ok, well that does it for the rambling today :) Yay for having somewhere to live!

In Memory...

Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago, my mom had to put our precious puppy down. She spent a wonderful 14 years with our family and we will miss her immensely. Here are some of my favorite things about my Jetta.

* Running and flying off the porch to go catch those birdies or cats in the back yard.

* The pitter-patter of little paws running to get her food. (We so should have put her on a dog food commercial.)

* Trying to get Jetta to disobey rules and come upstairs or to come sleep on my bed. :)

* Blowing on her ears and making her rub her head all over the floor.




* Watching her run around the house going crazy after a bath.

* Seeing her after she gets shaved like a lab puppy.

* Chasing after all of the candy after we broke the pinata at Christmas time. (After cowering under the piano bench while we were hitting the pinata.)



*Being my best furry friend for the last 14 years. Puppy Heaven just got a great addition. We love you!!!
