Nucea and the Gerbers on the News...

Well, here is a fun video. Troy's brother-in-law (who is also a twin that started the company with his twin) started a health clinic that also has a fitness center in it. The purpose is to promote a "whole health" lifestyle (so that you go to the doctor and then you train yourself to eat right and exercise like you are supposed to so that you won't have to go to the doctor as often) as well as a Nurse Practitioner (the twin) who can see patients at anytime. It especially helps people who don't have insurance because it's only $60/month for the whole family-which gives you access to the Nurse anytime and the gym (as well as access to a personal trainer, and personal health advisor, etc.). We've been working hard to help them get this place up and running (literally "running") as well as helping to be sure to be at the facility when the news came. This is the second time. Channel 4 news did a piece similar to this one a few weeks before it. It's such a great idea and they are working so hard to help people have a better lifestyle. Here's the video:

You will see my feet running on the treadmill and then me working out (finally!) on the treadmill shortly after. The close up of the beautiful lady is Troy's mom, and the baby is our little nephew, Malachai with mom Beccah holding him.

New House Pictures...& Sophy's locked car incident!

Well much is happening for us. Troy's been working hard to get the school year going technologically for the wonderful Westminster students and then going to our new house afterward and on Saturdays he's been working hard to put in the sprinkling system and get the landscaping done before we close. It's amazing that everything's looking good and we were blessed to be able to lock at a 5.13% interest rate. It's looking like we will move in a bit early on Sept. 17th. Here are some pictures of the house we took a couple weeks ago. Since these pictures, the granite countertops have been put into the kitchen.

I will try to get more pictures soon, but I broke our camera and today locked Sophy in the car with the keys on the front seat. We had some fun with 2 fire trucks, and 1 sheriff that were able to break in within 60 seconds (slow for them they say--Neil, maybe you could be a fireman??). They all made faces at Sophy and everything was fine. We were in a garage and the weather was cool, just starting to rain. The car was not running. I still stand by the fact that the car hates me and locked me out to prove something (it's trying to kill us off-sort of a computers taking over Tron/Big Brother/War Games, etc. thing). It would have been horrible, but cute Sophy had a sandwich (that she proudly ate all of while I was watching-moms, I would ALMOST recommend this to your picky eater), and her milk and was laughing at me come up with my inspirations for the new book I'm apparently doomed to write entitled "101 Things to Keep Your 18 Month Old Happy When You Lock Her In The Car: For Dummies". The rest of the day she seemed unaffected and was actually singing "happy happy happy happy" the whole ride home. Man was I blessed with laughter at a VERY necessary time!

Mov-ED-current state=messy and semi-homeless

Well, I can't find the cord to the camera, and maybe I'll convince Troy that it is important enough to go "dumpster diving" through our plethora of boxes to find when he gets home from his 1hr long drive from work in my non-air conditioned car (because I need the car to take a 30 min trip to Costco to get out of the house, maybe I'm a mean mom?)...but then again maybe not.

Things are going very well. We were able to move out quickly and get the whole house cleaned in 1 day with all the help we had...THANK-YOU VERY MUCH TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO SACRIFICED IN THE HEAT WITH US! (If you didn't get a doughnut, I'll mail one to you!) Joye (the new tenant) is OVER-JOYED (to say the least) about moving in and is seriously the sweetest and most upbeat lady I have met in a long time. It feels as if (though it was a very hard decision for us) she REALLY is meant for that house and needs the friendship and love of that neighborhood.

Our current plan is the following:

• Live with in-laws until Sept 30th (or a little before)
• Emily really try to learn how to cook and decorate because you have the BEST teacher at your finger tips during this time!
• Troy help his dad with building of his new Theatre Room
• Em & Troy help his dad & brother with website for his insulation business
• Emily help her mom with her Math & Reading educational website
• Hang out with Troy's Provo friends! (finally, Julie we saw you in your yard yelling at the kids yesterday. We will stop next time, we just didn't want to run into the BURM as we came down the driveway! ;))
• Emily play with new nephew-in-law Malachai as much as possible
• Get people into the Zoo for free as much as possible (any takers? I can take 1 adult and a child under the age of 2 with me for free anytime we go)
• Eat better: more healthier and more planned out meals-I am sharing cooking with Troy's mom 2 nights per week, which is more than I cooked before! :)
• Troy's dad and brother (and any other takers??) help us put our lawn in before we close
• Relax, lounge in the pool, watch movies and play games with family
• Emily train for a marathon occurring Sept 12th (swimming can count as cross-training!)
• Move into new house in Riverton, UT (around 126th S. and 49th W.) after the house is completed (should be in the next 2 weeks) and we have saved some more money (who knows how long that will take, but not to exceed Sept 30th)

We are doing well, but miss you neighbors! We had a chance to go to Elen's daughter Sophia's b-day celebration on Sunday and it was fantastic (the leftover cake you gave us was gone that day by the way! YUMMY!). Thank you for your love and prayers. More pictures soon!
