Catching up!



It has been awhile since I have posted, and it is not for a lack of excitement in our lives! A lot has been going on and we have been super busy. The first exciting thing is that we finally bought a house! We are very excited. We have been looking for awhile and had a lot of trouble finding anything we liked- we are super picky. We put an offer on a home that was accepted and then they weaseled out of the deal. Then we decided we were going to build. We really liked the idea of being able to pick out our colors and get what we really wanted and while we didn't want to wait for a house to be built we decided that building was the way to go. We had picked out our floor plan and lot and were just one yes away from digging the hole when we found our house! It is the perfect house for us. It is in a newer neighborhood with young families. We can't wait to move in.



We are supposed to be closing in a couple of weeks, but we can't wait to move in. I have already been packing our stuff up for a couple of weeks, which Jordan thinks is silly- but I just want to organize everything and de-junk. It is amazing how much stuff we have accumulated over less than three years of marriage. We are so excited!



Another exciting thing that happened this week was my sister Hillary's graduation. She finally got to walk and get her diploma. She finished all her classes in the summer and then did an internship fall semester in Hawaii and was gone for graduation in December so she had to wait a little while, but it finally happened.







I am really proud of my sister. She is such a fun girl. She is very adventurous and does things that most people would only dream of. She is a very hard worker and she knows how to get what she wants. She is a great example to me and I look up to her very much! She is one of my best friends. I love you sister!


My brother Tyson has been playing Lacrosse for the Davis high team. It is Davis' first year of having a Lacrosse team and they played great! Tyson has really gotten good and it is so much fun to watch- even though no one understands the rules or anything that is going on. Some of the parents have bought rule handbooks for Lacrosse and they try to help everybody understand. Tanner is also playing and he is doing great too!





We all loved to watch the games!

We love, love your house! It is absolutely beautiful! Where is it located? Zak and I have been doing the house search thing for the last month or so. Its hard! We see things we like in different houses but wish we could combine them into one house. We're so excited you guys have found one that fits you. We would love to help you move. Please let us know so we can help.

That is so awesome and that house looks great. Don't let Becky know you have a house after only 3 years of marriage. We're on 11 and are just settling down, but don't tell any one of the Hallows's that we are settling down. Our new home is supposed to be "temporary".

I am glad for Hillary. I agree that she toally ROCKS.
