I really sold my house this time!

In the span of 10 days I went from being a home owner to being an apartment renter and I could not be more excited! After about 4 months (not bad considering the market) of the house being on the market we received an offer last Wednesday and accepted it. The only deal was that I had to be moved out by October 31st. So within a week I found a new apartment, packed up a house and, with the help of my Mom (thank heavens she could make it) and a few friends I have successfully moved to a new apartment. Now the goal is to get that put together by next weekend. Wish me luck!

Meh...

So my last post was a big lie...not really but about 2 weeks before we were suppose to close on the sell of the house the buyer backed out and our backup buyer found another place. So it has now been a couple of long months of people looking but no offers...except for one that wanted us to wait until they listed and sold their house...that didn't work out...obviously. So life right now is kind of in limbo until the house gets sold. I am excited for the fall and then the winter but only because that means snow covers my whole yard and I don't have to worry about it:) OTher than that winters in Utah are not too fun.
I am starting 4 ten hour days at work this week which is exciting! I will now always have 3 day weekends and 10 hour work days. I think the trade off is good though.

I sold my house!

It has been a crazy couple of months. My Mom came up to Utah to help get the house ready to sell and it was A LOT of work! I have to admit that I was grateful I had to work during the week and am grateful that my Mom was here to whip everything in to shape to get it sold. We found great realtors and listed the house and pictures on Tuesday and it was sold by Friday! It was just the right timing and price, I am so grateful it did not drag on. But that said I have to move out by the middle of August! Have I mentioned how much stuff I have? I am not looking forward to it! Hopefully I will find somewhere that I can move into straight from this house so I only have to move once. I have been looking at townhomes and condos but have not quite found the right one yet but I am narrowing the search down so hopefully soon.

My Birthday!

So I got to go to California for my birthday. I went to take Ace, my first puppy ever, to live with my Uncle Bill. He has another lab mix who Ace knows and since I am going to try and sell my house I decided it will just be better for him to soak up the California sun and play with Cooper! It was really fun!

This is Ace the day before he left Utah...I will miss him! The other pic is the kids in their Easter clothes!

The most exciting part about my trip, besides seeing my family obviously, was that I got to see my new puppy! Since I have not written on here in forever I will have to update everyone! This last summer I brought home my grandma's (and my) dog Pepper to get her potty trained. We decided that we would breed her once or twice so while she was up here I found a really good stud dog and bred Pepper with him. Well she had the puppies on March 3rd! She is now back in California with 5 of the cutest little boy puppies.

I am getting a black one, my friend Jill is getting the other black one, and Aaron and Mandy and the kids are getting a salt and pepper one. Anyway they are THE CUTEST puppies ever! Here are some pics:)



This is mine and Jill's puppies whose names are as of now Otto and Hampton, I am not sure which is which but below Otto does not have a collar.

This is Pepper nursing them. She is about 13.5 pounds if that gives you any idea of how big they are.

Below are just some random pics of all of the other puppies.

The one on the left is Aaron and Mandy's and the other two are really cute too! Everyone in the family wants to keep one. I get to go pick mine up the last weekend in April and I can't wait!
