The Move- updated

The move to Ogden is proving to have a few more bumps in the road than we would like. We found the PERFECT place. It is right off the street that Bretts work is just 2 miles down the road and it is a mile from my sisters house. It is a newer townhouse- built in 2009, 3 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths plus a small loft. It has a garage and a backyard for the dogs and a patio for Brett and his barbecue grill. And the best part.... it is cheaper than what we are paying for our Lehi place and the deposit is very reasonable.
Now the bumpy part: It is currently occupied by a family. They put in their notice a while ago and had said that they would be out by the 15th of March and then we old move in on the 26th... at least that is hopefully the plan. They said later that they might not be out till the end of the month. The management company of the house has been trying to get a hold of them all weekend to get a concrete date and they are being avoided which makes me nervous... I just want them to get out so we can get in. It really is perfect and we have not found anything even close to what this place is so we are willing to wait but not knowing a for sure date makes it harder to make plans. We have to be out of our place by the end of this month... the latest we could move out and in would be April 2nd. In the mean time, Brett is commuting to Ogden everyday for work until we do move in so the sooner the better.

This week, my sister and her husband went to Las Vegas for spring break and left us thier house. So that way Brett doesnt have to drive from Lehi to work this week. I am a bit bored. My homework is done and I am left to spend my spring break alone until 5. But if I wasnt up here I would most likely be spending it alone at my house until 7 after Brett drives all the way back. So we get some more time together and save a ton of gas money.


UPDATE: So heard back from the townhouse management today. She said that the tenants will be out by the 31st. But so do we so that's a bit of a crunch. So we will most likely have to stay at my moms for a few days while the house gets cleaned. They said we could move in on the 6th at the latest but we are hoping we can move all the stuff into the garage on the 31st. But this place is worth it.

Today is Brett's 3rd day at his new job. He really likes it there- his favorite part is hat the breakroom is always stocked with snacks and there is a Mt Dew fountain drink machine. :) He is basically just learning all about the company and just doing what he is told for now.

That's so frustrating! I hope that you guys can get in soon! That's nice though that you can stay at your sister's house for this week though.

What a bummer! Hopefully you will hear something soon. We can't wait to see pictures and hear how Brett's job is going.
