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!

I saw you guys moving out and didn't have time to stop and say goodbye and by the time I got back you guys were gone! :( We will miss you. Good luck with the new house. I think you are pretty close to one of my friends out that way. I will have to get your exact address and see how close you actually are. Take Care

Good luck with everything. Moving can be a challenge. We are still unpacking boxes and living in a semi-disaster zone.
Hurray for selling your house! And good luck with closing on the new one! So many exciting things:) We'll plan a get-together after you get settled.
That burm can be extremely intimidating to the uninitiated... but don't let it scare you too bad. :D If you ever go to the zoo, let us know... we don't need to get in free, but would love to join you guys.
SO happy for you, happy house hunting. I want to see you SOOOOO soon. Let me know!!! Love ya couz
