House!

So, we went and had the inspection today. It went great! I am so glad that my brother in law was able to come down and do it. He took precious time out of the cabin he is building for a job, just to come inspect our house. Thanks Brent!

While we were there we were able to take some photos.

Life

Well, it is about time that I update you all about what we have been up to.

For Christmas Break, we drove to Brandon's parents house in Colorado. It was quite the drive on the way there. I drove through unplowed highways, and behind semis. It was hard to see. Then, Brandon took over and he had problems seeing too because it was just so dark by the time we were about 1 hour from his parents house. We loved spending time with family. It was so nice to just get away. We went sledding one day, went up the Cog railroad up Pike's Peak, spent almost an entire day shopping in Manitou Springs, and went to a four course fondue restaurant. When we got back, Brandon had to help his brother replace the fuel pump on his truck. It took them about 10 hours to do it. It was horrible and I felt so bad for them. Needless to say, I stayed inside the apartment and about every hour to hour and a half I took out hot chocolate.

Brandon surprised me on Christmas morning with a reservation to a bed and breakfast in Provo. Even though we were only 7 blocks from the apartment, it was still nice to just have us time. The Hines Mansion is a wonderful place. The rooms are all themed and we stayed in the Library room. It had a wall that turned to get into the bathroom like a secret passage, and circular stairs up to a jetted tub for two. We also were able to go to Chef's Table (our favorite restaurant) and then to Hale Center Theatre as a part of the package with the room.

Brandon changed his major officially to a Marriage and Family Major. He is really excited because he is taking three major classes this semester and enjoys them. Since he wants to be a Chaplin, they are right what he need to study.

School for me in going well. I have had two new students join my class, and it is very interesting to see the change that those two students bring to the class. I am now at 10 boys and 14 girls. However, most of the time it seems like I have more boys than that. They are the wild ones, and the girls just end up being mean to each other. You would be surprised but 7 and 8 year old girls are mean! I have little girl fights everyday, and most of the time it involves tears.

As for news about the house, our offer was accepted. We are now under contract to by the house, which will be so nice. We can't wait to get out of our apartment. We reached the end of our love with this apartment a while back, and it just will be nice to get out. We went four days without heat, and that is enough to make anyone want out. I will be taking pictures of the house next Saturday, which is the soonest we will get to see the house again.

Long time no post

I am sorry that I have been so lazy updating this blog. I am trying to be better, but we will see what happens.

So, as of late, we were without heat for 4 days, so that was fun. Also, we put an offer down on a house, and we are just waiting to hear back about all the details. I will post pictures as soon as we have a chance to go see it again. It is out in Eagle Mountain. It will be nice to have a place that is ours and as much as I love Provo, I am ready to be out of here.

Well, I don't mean to cut it short, but I will update again soon about the house and about our holiday break.
