BUSY SUMMERTIME, AND A NEW HOUSE

Well, I think summer time is just a busy time of year... or my life is just busy, which both are probably true. We survived last week (thankfully)! My friend posted about being BUSY... It stands for Being Under Satan's Yoke... and I really feel this way sometimes, I'm working on recognizing what is really important and trying to cut out what just doesn't need to fill up my days with stress... and I dont' even have kids yet, but I'm not planning on working full time and having 7 clients with kids. My full time job will hopefully become a client, and I can just do client work, thats the plan anyway.

Last Thursday night, our Stake's Youth Conference started out with dinner and games at a local park. I tripped of the curb going to my car and sprained my ankle, kind of embarrassing, but I hurt it pretty good. I usually go walking with my great friend Amanda in the mornings, and I went to text her to tell her I wouldn't make it because I could barely walk. She texted me right back, she had just slid down a grassy hill and sprang her ankle too... weird coincidence, but we just barely started walking again this morning, both of our ankles are a little tender.

The rest of Youth Conference was up at Brighton Camp. Tyson got to go with me, and it was so beautiful up there, still a ton of snow! I hobbled around all the courses they have set up for kids, there is a ropes course, a zip line, repelling and a hike. It was really fun up there!

We hung out with family and rested from the busy week over the rest of the weekend. I didn't even have to teach YW because it was the 5th Sunday and the Bishop wanted the youth to attend a combined meeting with their parents.

Monday, we came into work and we had an accepted offer on the house we are interested in. It was built in 77', and it definitely needs work. But it's all stuff that we can handle, and we are getting it at a smokin' deal. It's a bank-owned property that has been on the market for over a year. We have spent a lot of time at that house, we have met the neighbors, and we are really looking forward to getting into our own place. We are going to the ward on Sunday, just to get a better feel for it. We are really excited, its going to take a lot of money and work, but it is going to be so nice, we've been picking out paint and lights, and then we are picking out carpet, flooring, and appliances at Tyson's old work, Basin Appliance the 2nd weekend of July. Its not the prettiest house ever, but we have to start somewhere right?

We are going to Bear Lake for the 4th of July weekend, we are going to relax and enjoy the great outdoors and just have fun for a few days. Once our loan gets funded, we are going to be very busy fixing up our new home!
