Move Update

Well our house sold and we're handing it over on June 20 which is just next week. We'll be in Portland Saturday for a wedding and then the rest of the week in Issaquah preparing for movers to come take our things away on Wednesday. They'll be putting our things in storage and about one week later we'll have posession of our new home!! Hopefully everything goes as planned. We have a building inspection on Friday for our new home, and if that checks out we'll be set. Here are a few pictures of the new home. They had tons online so I didn't take many pictures, but they've already taken the house off the market. I'll take more during the inspection on Friday to post. We love the large back yard and it's adorable street apeal. The house is located south of the University of Utah which is an area with lots of amenities that will be very close. I.e. parks, shops, eateries and lots of other families and neighbors to meet (since we don't know very many people here). One of the main criteria was to have both a living room (without Jeffrey toys) and a rec room which is in the basement which will be kid mania. :) The house has lots of old character from 1948. A few changes, since we were a little under our house budget, will be to remove the current garage and add a slightly larger garage to the back of the property to store our boat. It's important for us to keep the same feel of the neighborhood with the garage so it doesn't stick out like a soar thumb. John's trying to talk me into using 10 foot garage doors, but I haven't agreed. It seems really big. Trying to keep him in check. :) We'll also eventually tackle the kitchen, but this won't happen right away. Well have four bedrooms and plenty of room for out of town guests!!



Daddy Mt Bikes

Memorial Day weekend, John was in a 24 hour Mt Bike Race with his good buddy Earl. It was just outside of Spokane and each lap was about 14 miles. Each person on the team rotated riding and by the end of the race each team member had gone about three times each. I caught John finishing his third lap of the race. Woohooo!!
