The craziness that is our lives!

So these past few weeks have been very stressful to say the least! We have been trying to close on our new home and have met just about every obstacle imaginable in the process. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. Each day, whoever I talked to, they would tell me, "we are just waiting for one more thing." Then as we would get that, it was "just one more thing." So this became a big problem, because we were suppose to move out of our house by Sat. the 19th. new renters were moving in on the 21st. So after coming to the realization that we would have no where to go if we moved out on Sat. Patrick made some calls and was able to manage to get our landlord to let us stay till Thursday (the 24th), and have the new renters move in on Friday (the 25th). So that at least bought us a few more days to figure things out. 
So I started harassing everyone I could to get things done so we could close on our house. I informed them all that we would not have a place to live, and we do have 2 small kids, so it's somewhat important we close so we can have a place for them to live! I seriously think that my loan officer started screening my calls, because I was calling her so, so much! So after many nervous breakdowns, and big, BIG prayers, we finally got a call on Friday afternoon that we could close today!! Oh happy day!!!! We won't be homeless after all! So I am leaving in a few hours to go and sign our life away on our new house!! I'm so excited for it. We were able to go in this weekend and start to clean it, and it's starting to get painted today, and we will move in on Thursday! It's looking so good! I'll post pics after it's all painted and the new floors are in. 
This is why I hate moving so much... it's so incredibly stressful! I have gone from completely pissed off, to breakdown hysterical crying, to "this is gonna work" all in the same day, most everyday for the last week and a half. I'm exhausted! What a pain. I am going to be so relieved when we are moved in and get to put this behind us! And I can testify, that I WILL NOT be moving again for a very long time... if I can help it!

Buying a house is so stressful. We might have decided to stay where we are, but you just never know. We can't think of anywhere else we'd like to live. Provo...not really. Lehi...no. Orem...no. We like it here, we just aren't too thrilled that there aren't any kids close by for Emily to play with. But I think we'll stick around for a bit. :)

Post some pictures of the new place when you get the chance.

I think crazy is normal because our life wouldn't be normal if it weren't so crazy. Hope it goes smoothly from here on.
