August!

Well I survived, and we are in the new house. It's funny how quickly you can forget the nightmare you are in when you are in and settled. It really does seem like all the crazy didn't even happen.

We are in LOVE with our new place. I have increased motivation to keep it clean (it just looks so beautiful when it is) and we've organized the kids stuff to keep it in their own space and out of the way so it is more manageable.

We had to switch wards in church because of the boundaries in SP, but are happily settling in there as well. We were overwhelmed with friendly faces when we arrived, and feel included in the ward happenings.

I am totally NOT a decorator, evidenced by the 5 years it took to put things up in the condo, but one night when Brett was away I went to it. I measured and leveled and braved the holes in the wall and I'm pleasantly surprised that it is coming together. A little bit at a time seems to be the best advice. You don't need to go spend all this money to fully decorate your house because you may come across perfect pieces throughout your travels that would be better than what you bought earlier just to take up space. Not only that, but moving is expensive. So a little bit at a time works for my bank account as well.

My sister also moved this month. It is exciting to both have some extra space, and we have big plans to alternate Sunday dinners from now on to give my mom a break.

I am excited for summer to be done- don't get me wrong, I love the warm weather, but it's time to get back to a routine and on schedule. I have met a new friend that has motivated me to get my kids out of the house and to take advantage of the things available in our little town. We will be attending library programs, preschool, swimming lessons, and music class. Wyatt will be a busy boy, and I think a more content well rounded kid. I can't wait to get started.

I will re-tidy my house and take some pictures in order to post them next entry. Stay tuned!

ALSO- Kamry did our family photos last night and I can't wait to see how they turned out. I got my hair done the day of, which seems silly now, especially since I went for something totally new. It would be funny if I ended up not liking it and it only lasted a day, but had a permanent record on my wall :) Luckily I'm liking it more and more. I continue to check myself out in the mirrors I pass throughout my day just to decide what I think :) Dork!

This weekend happens to be my Brother in Law's wedding weekend. I can't wait! I love weddings!

I should have MUCH more to write about in the near future. Fingers crossed I get my act together.
