We are moving! We found a house posted on craigslist this week and after seeing it, we knew it was time to move. It is a three bedroom/two bathroom house located near school. The living room is the size of our current living room and kitchen and a little more all put together. Mya will actually be able to roll around when she begins moving. There are two bedrooms upstairs (not pictured) and one bedroom downstairs. There is a bathroom on each level. We will have washer/dryer hookups...finally! I am so done with coin ops. The kitchen is big. I will actually have counter space to cook on and all the appliances are new. Another huge perk is that we will have a front and back yard. I can't even tell you how exicited I am to get into a bigger place. Although I have been extremely grateful for our current apartment (I really like our place), it will be nice to have room to put things. Currently, we have no place to put our laundry which creates a massive problem once a week. We also have nowhere to put the vacuum...so it sits in the middle of the Mya's room. We are constantly storing the swing into areas just to have more room in the living room. We have too much stuff.
Other news...I continue to apply for teaching jobs. I have one interview and am beginning to send my resume to several school districts. I figure it can't hurt to beat the rush in March. I just finished my resume and cover letter. I feel like an adult now because my resume actually has to mean something to someone. It took me forever to write my cover letter because I am not good at talking myself up.
Tim continues to go to school and work. We are nearly half way through the semester. It seems like he has been in school forever. We can't wait for our life to slow down on April 10th (when I stop student teaching). We are so grateful to all the babysitters who help us each week. They have been truly amazing.
Joan--our sister-in-law--had her baby. Norah Elizabeth Doot. She looks just like a girl version of their son Theo. She is beautiful. We are so happy to have another addition in the family. Congrats Joan.
If we do anything else fun or take more pictures of Mya this weekend, we will let you know. Have a great week.

Our peaceful sleeper. She is sleeping so much better now. She goes down around 8:30 or 9 and sleeps through the night except her one or two feedings. I don't mind getting up now because she goes right back to bed. I also feel robotic so I am numb to the lack of sleep.

Our new place! It has so many windows. It is beautiful.

Hello kitchen and counter space.

We have a fire place. I don't know if we will use it but it looks cool.

One angle of the living room

Our staircase (Is a staircase like a hallway?) because I have always said, "you know you've made it when you have a hallway." I am counting it because I am just so excited. This will be my first hallway in BYU married housing.

The downstairs bedroom. They use it as an office and a play room. We will probably do the same. I don't know.
You're a punk. I'm mad that you're moving.. and I'm mad that you find all the good deals. But I guess I'm happy for you.... :)

ReplyDeleteJanine, the house is adorable. Good work. And I can't believe how big Mya is already. I can't wait to come see you guys this summer. Good luck with the job hunt too. I'm sure you'll be snatched up if anything is available.
