We Haven't Died Yet... Promise!

So I realize we haven't posted a blog pretty much all summer - but we have good excuses if you really want to hear them...... So we bought a house!!! Yep, we are officially home owners. It is so crazy and fun all at the same time. We decided to go ahead and stay in Orem and we found this great house in our same ward just up the street from our Condo. Let's just say, it made moving a little easier. As you can see, even Nora helped pack.... But man, we have a lot of stuff! The timing of our move wasn't the greatest either as I was in my first week of starting school (teaching of course). And I transferred schools too which made it even more crazy. It's a really Loooooong story why I made the move from Timberline Middle to American Fork Junior. To sum it up... Basically, I needed to have a part time schedule every other day and AFJr. was super accomodating and supportive to me with exactly what I was needing. I had to simplify my life for my little girl. And things are going great. I've realized now after a few months at a new school...8th graders are 8th graders no matter where you are. Shaving 10 minutes off my commute each way isn't bad either. I get to spend more time with Nora now which makes both of us happy!!!
