A long update :)

So I feel like a lot is going on in our life.. even though there really isn't too much.. I don't know I guess I just felt like writing something.. I am getting very anxious to move into our new place.. When I say "new place" I mean the apartment that we are going to be renting for a whole 4 months! I had been looking for a solid month for something temporary because Jonathon wants to buy a house.. Which right now you can have a house payment and pay the same as a 2 bd apartment up here! It's crazy.. So we have looked at a few houses but DO NOT want to jump into one... It needs to be perfect :) So we are taking over a really nice couples contract at an apartment in Draper.. It's a nice apartment with plenty of room.. And the contract goes till the end of May.

In the meantime we will be very busy looking for a house, potty training Lexi (I know I know) We started potty training and then Jonathon got laid off.. And I'm telling you it is impossible to potty train when you are constantly going from one place to the next.. Lexi and I have put a lot of miles on the car going to and from Ticaboo and Monticello these past couple months... And when we are at Jonathon's mom's house Alexis is WAY too distracted to actually sit on the potty or tell me when she has to go.. So adding to the list.. We need to get Copper MORE potty trained.. He's actually done really well.. But there WILL NOT be accidents in my new house..

I am going to start a very strict excersise schedule.. Okay it will not be that strict and I'm not gonna promise anything.. I'm just gonna say that I really want to loose a good 20 lbs... Okay moving on..

Jonathon is doing such a good job with this business stuff and is learning a lot! He's on the phone ALOT! But things are coming along pretty well.. In fact they have their first residential job tomorrow :)

I am SO ready to have MY stuff! It is sitting in Ticaboo waiting for us to come pick it up.. Which we are going to be doing on Thursday of this week! YAY!!!

So to sum it up I feel very very anxious and so excited to get back on a normal schedule! It is so hard when your 2 year old is trying to stay up till 1:00 a.m. watching movies with her aunts and waking up at 11:00 a.m. Because then she's just a grouch the rest of the day.. I miss my bed :(
But I'm so grateful that Jonathon's mom has let us stay here for a couple months.. I'm thankful that we got to have free rent in Ticaboo so that our stuff could have somewhere to stay and so that Lexi and I could have somewhere to go when we needed a break :) I'm so glad my mom and dad let us stay in Monticello for almost 2 weeks during X-mas break.. Because that was a needed vacation!!
I'm very happy that things have worked out for all my family! All of our husbands are back at work and happy!! But I miss them all very much.. and even though I've said it like a million times I miss being able to walk right next door to see my sisters and see my mom and brother so often.. One thing I miss a lot is being able to see my dad every day.. It was so neat to get the chance to live with him for a while.. I'm so glad Lexi got the chance to have her grandpa with her every day:) He had to put up with my "clean freak" side!! (sorry) but WE LOVE YOU DAD!!
I am still very blessed though because I get to see Keri a lot and get to visit with my Aunt Tina's family more too!!
