SOLD!

Our house is officially sold and we have to be moved out by Sunday night (hopefully we're out by tomorrow night so the buyers can have sunday to move in).

We closed yesterday and signed papers. No more mortgage! I'm happy but also extreemly sad at the same time. I love my house. I'm really really going to miss it. I have almost all of my stuff moved out and Jason has been moving a lot of his as well. Tomorrow will be the finishing hauls and then cleaning it. Oh how this house means so much to me. From all the memories I'll take with me and all the dreams I had to do with it. My beautiful bleeding heart in the front yard I'll truley miss. The hard work Jason, My dad and I put into laying tile. My dad's amazing handy craft work on pouring cemement for the hot tub. All the repairs we just did that we wont get to enjoy. Oh tomorrow will be a happy day and very sad at the same time.

A huge thank-you to our relator Dennis Parry of Coldwell Banker, Gold Key Realty. I've known Dennis for a really long time. His family lived across the street from us in River Heights while I was growing up. I played over at their house ALL the time with Ally. With his help we sold the house in just 5 DAYS! Can you believe it? With the market today that was amazing! We didn't make money, we actually had to pay a little cash at closing but with the quick sell and not having to pay the mortgage for longer it was definalty worth it! I know we would have made money if we hadn't used a relator but not having to show the house, deal with paperwork, trying to market it and what not I loved having a relator. The process was SO easy! Dennis was great to work with and I'd recommend him and Debby to anyone!

Good-bye house, I'll Miss you!

My cute max

Max totally needs a hair cut. And yes he has an appointment next week. But aside from that... Jason and I had bought him a bed a while ago and I gave it to him for Christmas. He just looks at it like what is that? It's a good place to throw all his toys. Well Sunday I was on my computer printing pictures and working on scanning some stuff when I look over and this is what I see...

He's so cute. I did wake him up by taking pictures but to my surprise he stayed laying there for quite a while. Maybe he'll start using it after all. Otherwise it will remain as a toy box.

Highschool Friends

About a week ago my friends Mary, Megan and I (and some other friends of Mary's) got together for a girls night of poker. It was a lot of fun. Miss these two. We need to hang out more.

Wasatch Back - Ragnar Relay

I think I'm officially crazy. Last year my work did a relay team for the Ragnar Relay that goes from Logan to Park City. This year my boss is again putting a team together and yes I signed up. Ouch. The relay is a 187.9 mile race that is ran by a team. We will have 12 runners, who each run 3 legs of the course. The total miles each person runs ranges from 12.4 miles to 18.4 miles. The legs are broken up into various distances and terrain. I don't know yet which runner I am but I'm crossing my fingers I'm not runner 11 who has to run 3.8 miles on Very Hard terrian, 7.3 miles on Hard, and 7.3 on Very Hard. I also prefer not to be runner 6 who also has a tough one of 6.9 Very Hard, 8.1 Very Hard and 3.1 Easy.

The race is 24 hours straight. The team of 12 runners is split into two vans. Van #1 runs their legs and then rests while van #2 runs and they switch off like that until the race is complete. Being cramed in the van with 6 other people will be a delight I'm sure. Plus the little to no sleep? Ugh.

Training started this week and so far I'm doing ok. If you know me you know I'm NOT a RUNNER. I've NEVER been a runner. So this is a great personal challenge for me. I'm excited to do it, although I heard many grueling stories last year. I just want to finish my 3 legs and not have to have someone else step in for me. Even if that means I have to walk part of it. At least I can say I did it. I know it will be a great experience and fun time with my co-workers and friends/family of them.

Another Good Book

I got talked into reading the Da Vinci Code by many people, and surprisingly I loved it! I'm not typically a reader so when I started this I thought, Oh man - I'll prob never finish. But I have only about 20 pages left I'll finish tonight and then I'm staring Angels and Demons. And after that The Lost Symbol. I guess I am a reader. When you don't watch TV and don't do much but sit home, reading sure helps fill the time! And max loves to cuddle while I read - it's so special! :)

PS: That's my 3rd book since the beginning of January, and they weren't short books either. Twilight, The Host and this book The Da Vinci code!

Snow Fun

I've been wanting to play in the snow and make a snowman for a while now. With the new snow this weekend it was perfect packing snow. So while my two sisters were scrapbooking I was out making a snowman. It was alot of fun! Max was frozen with snow by the time we were done!

Snowboarding

This year there are a few of us at work that absolutly live for snowboarding (Matt, Tim and I for sure). We have gone twice so far. They went a few times with out me. I also went snowmobiling with Andy, Chris and Matt from work. I need to get some more riding in, especially now that we have some great snow! Aren't winter sports so fun?
