All Moved :)

We've finally moved into our townhome! We've been here for a week and have most of our things un-packed. If you know me very well, you know I HAVE to be organized. I don't want any boxes. At least that's what I tell myself but we had a lot more things than I thought and I'm having to find room for everything and de-junk. It's been nice having a lot more space. We have loved our cute townhome! Besides not having our mailbox yet and our house number wrong, everything else has been great! I've absolutely loved decorating. We have 3 bedrooms so one of the extra bedrooms is Justin's music room/office and the other is the spare bedroom. Justin's parent let us take his bedroom set he had growing up so that is in the spare bedroom for when our little brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews sleepover.

I keep un-packing and organizing something every day. I think I am driving Justin crazy with how much i can organize and re-organize things. Right now Justin is playing some Jazz music in his music room. I LOVE hearing him play his instrumental songs. Such a talented husband I have! I don't know how he comes up with some of the things he does. Now if only I could get him to sing. This weekend is the 24th of July weekend and we'll be going to Seven Peaks with Justin's family. It is tradition. We didn't go the past 2 years because they wouldn't allow people to bring in their own food but this year we talked everyone in getting the Pass of All Passes so we are all going on Monday.

Who are We?

Justin and I started dating on July 11th, 2008 and got married on June 10th 2009 in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. We have moved 4 different times the last 2 years being married. Our first place was a 103 year old house in Sandy just off 90th S. It was the old tithing home for the church. It was a cute little white house with a white picket fence. We were there for 6 months until we moved into my parents. We were at my parents for only 4 months until we decided there were too many people living under one roof. We moved to an apt complex in South Jordan just right off 114th. It was only a 1 bedroom apt but perfect for the two of us. We really loved our ward! We were there for 8 months. We would have been there longer but they wanted to raise our rent another $200 more a month and we didn't feel it was worth paying that much for a 1 bedroom apt. We realized we could own our own place fore just a little more than what we would be paying so my sister and her husband let us move into their basement to save money and go to school. We've been here for about 6 months and will be moving into a townhome the end of this week! Well at least we're hoping it will be this weekend. We are excited and nervous. Excited because we got a really good deal on it and it's in a great location and we started going to our ward last week and loved it! Nervous because it's a big purchase and I am a little OCD (well maybe a lot) with paying bills on time, being organized and making sure we are doing good financially. I like finding good deals and use coupons all the time! Justin works for his dad and I work for my brother in-law. It's crazy how things work out sometimes. We have been through so much together in just the 2 years being married and I am looking forward to eternity!
