Oh yeah... we moved!
Remember when I said that we had talked about some major life decisions in our St. George trip? Well here it is... we moved in with the Keele's! (yep we are those people that live with their parents). What can I say? It is the best thing for us right now. We knew that it was going to be hard and definitely "not ideal" but we also knew that it was the right thing. So far, it's been great. No really. It has. The neighborhood is awesome, the kids have more room to play... not to mention a back yard!
The worst thing so far was by far was the actual move. One would think Spencer and I are pros at moving this being the SIXTH time we move since we got married.... but they may have just been our worst move yet. I guess I need to give a little more back story to that. We decided to move on May 24th because it worked best with Spencer's work schedule even though it meant that we would be paying for rent for the month of June even though we would have been moved out already (we had to give a month notice that we were moving out). The plan was to move all of the beds/clothes etc that day for our bedrooms and pack up the rest of the things (i.e. all of our kitchen stuff) after and put them directly in storage. WELL... it didn't work out that way. We talked to our landlords and told them that we were moving and were planning on paying for June and they said that if we were completely out and they could get it rented we would only pay until it was rented or the month was over. Um yeah! We were definitely going to take that. So the move turned into get everything out of the apartment as quickly as possible so that they could show it. That meant throwing everything into boxes at random and putting them in the Keele's garage... Guess what? They are still there! We have to go through every box individually pack it then actually pack it but we have just been crazy busy lately (look for upcoming posts about a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday, birthday party, trip to Las Vegas and a wedding). Not to mention it is so HOT. It is impossible to be out in the garage during the day (or when the kids are awake for that matter)
Anyway... here we are. At the Keele's. Which now includes us too. Like I said, it's actually been pretty good so far. Except for maybe Tia Julianna declaring at least a couple of times a week that she is never having kids and it's all thanks to us. Only time will tell if she is only teasing or we have truly traumatized for life.
I made a video of some of the recordings from that day... it's not great... but here it is anyway.
So we have been at the Keele's for the past two months... and the garage is still a mess... yeah. it. sucks.

Ha ha! This is great! I LOVED that neighborhood growing up and I seriously loved the ward. We're going on 3 years with my parents and are finally to a point where we can start looking for a house! Yay! It's not so bad living "at home", not ideal but not bad. Enjoy it with kids, I'm going to miss having a built in babysitter at night when my kid is asleep!
