We ended our contract at Santa Fe Apartments in Cottonwood Heights and bought a home in Draper! We just moved on Saturday April 30
th. So here are some funny stories from the last few days with our new home. On Friday me and Audrey came to the house and moved a few things over, while I was out in the garage bringing things in she had locked the garage door to the house with the bolt lock. I had my hands full of stuff and was trying to get her to understand that I wanted her to get the door unlocked, eventually she did!
After a few reservations trying to get the biggest truck and the right time frame with
u-haul we went to pick up the truck on Saturday at 3:
00. There was a slow line and a longer line forming behind us. Once we finally got to the front I told them we had a reservation under my name and they pulled up Tim's name with a large truck rental. We were so worried because my reservation was for a 17' truck and we didn't know how we would get it all done and get checked out of our apartment by 5:00. So the 24' truck (which we thought was canceled) worked out perfectly and we had great help to get it all done by 4:55pm!!! On the way to our new place, Tim,
Cambria, and Morgan saw Kristin pulled over by 3 cop cars. We later found out they pulled her over thinking she was in a
stolen car!
Sunday we didn't make it to our new ward because one we didn't know where everything was yet, two Tim,
Cambria, and Audrey were all sick with a cold. Tim and I did get a lot of things done so that we could function for the week though. As we were getting things put away and cleaned, we found that the kitchen light doesn't work, there is a Easter bucket under the kitchen sink catching a leak, and that our drier cord doesn't work in the outlet! So far we have not gotten the kitchen light to work, the leak in the kitchen sink is fixed with a new faucet, and the drier cord has been replaced! Now we are working on getting the drier vent hooked up and cleaned in the attic, the
dandelions killed in the yard and the water on in the yard. Tim just finished painting our "harry potter" room white from purple and I'm going to use it for my extra food and blankets and games. My design room as a long way to go, I need to buy a shelving system from Ikea and then I will have a place to put things! Tim is also working on getting ride of some unwanted guests. He put some mouse traps in our garage and he is working on getting ride of some wasps on our patio. So far we are loving the space of our new home!!
