So we found a place to move!!! We are very excited to get into a new place. It is a townhouse in Provo right off of Geneva Road and about 500 north.... i think..
We will be signing the rent contract today and then the lights will be turned on today or tomorrow so we can PAINT!! The contract is for a year so we will be there at least for that long.... but I don't see us needing to move out until we have a baby which wont be for at least a year and a half so we might be there a while longer.
The paint in the whole house is hideous! The bottom of the walls downstairs are a really dark olive green... and the top is a light pea green color... going up the stairs it is yellow, our bedroom is a light orange and the spare bedroom is pepto bismol pink with Disney princesses everywhere! But we really liked the floor plan and it was a great price so we made a deal with the Realtor.... She would cut out deposit in half and we would paint. So we get to chose the colors and everything... We went to Lowe's and found the perfect colors. It is actually a blessing that we got to do it this way... it was going to be really tight coming up with the entire deposit. This way we save about 2 hundred dollars after we buy the paint and everything. Plus we have awesome families that will help so that will make it faster.
I WILL take before pictures just and post them just so you all can ask 'what were they thinking?' just like we did.
We will be painting throughout the week and into the weekend... so if anyone would like to come help us, that would be great.
We don't have any furniture!! Haha... We moved into my moms basement when we got married and it was furnished. The bed is ours but that's about it. Even the dressers are all my mothers.. so it will be an empty house for a while but gradually we will gather stuff. The first things we need are a dining room table and a couch for the living room.... It will just be nice to have our own place so i don't care if its empty.
The biggest pro is that they will let us have Mimi there... I cant even tell you how hard it was to find a place that they would let me keep my little girl. And I wasn't about to leave her behind. This place has a small fenced back yard... well not yard but it has a deck and a small garden area. Enough for a BBQ and for Mimi to do her business. There is a large common area behind our fenced patio also. I think Mimi will be happy there too.
A bit of a sad thing... We will be leaving our ward. Honestly, we probably went 5 or 6 times in the year and a half we were in that ward... But there are some great people there. I have made a few friends there that I will always look up to and remember, (especially Rachael)... The Bishop has been great with us especially recently as we are becoming active again. We will miss him as well. But we look forward to a new start in a new ward and to meeting new people.
Pictures to come....

how exciting I love the whole decorating stage. have fun, and congrats!
How exciting. It sounds like the people who painted your place had the same taste as the people who painted our place in village green. There's nothing like pepto bismal pink to make you feel at home. Hopefully you don't have any wallpaper to take down. That is the worst! Good luck with the painting.
Yay for keeping Mimi! Can't wait to see the 'after' photos!
And congrats on being married 3 yrs 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days! That's awesome! You should celebrate!
Cali,
Charlie and I have an extra 6 foot banquet table that we were going to get rid of. If you would like it you are welcome to it. It's not a beautiful dining room table, but it would be good space to do scrapbooking on. Just let me know. Patti
