Oh yeah...I promised

Here's Alex's back to school picture. Such a cute first grader!


Let's ignore the bug spray thats easily within reach of little hands and the cluttered pass-through to the kitchen...

Moving and other fun stuff

We are moving! A carefully worded ad on Craigslist to advertise that we're LDS and therefore responsible, non-drinkers, non-smokers, non-college-age-partiers who pinky promise to take good care of their house in exchange for rent that is only slightly higher than what we are paying now and voila! we are moving into a 4 bedroom house just across the street from where we live now.

Which means moving. And packing. And attempting to sort through things that haven't been used since 2001 but seem to insist on sticking around anyway. Considering I sift through all my belongs every time I move and I've moved a lot the last few years, I'm kind of surprised I still have things to sift through. This does not include Dustin's impressive t-shirt collection that I'm hoping will take up residence in a new storage ottoman for the foot of our bed after Christmas...hint hint.

But I was only hoping for a 3 bedroom. One for us, one for the rugrat and one for a guest room with the desks and computers and stuff. Four bedrooms! That means we can have a separate guest room and office! The futon will probably still go into the office since there will probably be a smaller tv in there or something but that frees up a whole bedroom to be something else.

The very best part of the house? Its in a new ward and we'll lose our calling. Primary is not my bag, baby, and I'm thrilled to be able to talk to grown-ups again. Let's do the happy dance!

I started my Bachelor's program this month too and I'm working through my first class. Business Management HERE I COME! Yeah, my excitement is out of control...
