We're getting a house!!!

Ok so bad luck turns into very much happieness. We are getting the twin home. We should close on our loan in the middle of october and get in and situated before the holidays. I'm so so so excited. We've been looking for a house for almost a year. we've put in a few offers but nothing has been like this. we are both in love with our little place and can't wait to get in. I'll post some pictures once we get in since this is a sale by owner and we don't have any pics otherwise. Its a good thing that the house makes me so happy becuase i HATE packing. It's not to bad its just a pain when you have to wash everything before you pack it becuase your house makes everything smell. We're hoping that if we get all of our furniture out by the end of this week it will have enough time to air out before we have to move it into our new place. Anyway i hope all is well with everyone else.

By golley i think we found it!!!

Ok so everything happens for a reason. We have recently found a twin home for sale on kinda a whim. We of course are sick of our apartment and i am absolutly sick of renting from incompatent landlords. So on tuesday we set out to go look at a few places i had found online. I had been looking at this one home for quite a while. I wasn't sure why it had caught my attention so much because it was only a 2 bdrm 1 1/2 bath and we have been looking for something bigger. However i put it on the list. It just so happened that across the street was another twin home for sale by owner. so we called on it the lady said it was 3bdrm 2 1/2 bath and 1600 sq ft. also that she wanted 170,000. or rather that she was hoping for that much. The next day kurtis' parents went with me by it in the afternoon and Janet made me call and set up an appointment to see it that night. so long story short we fell in love with it that night we, went and talked with her yesterday about a price and agreed on $165,000 and to split the closing costs. The only thing we have left to do is talk to our loan officer and gett the amount approved. Which we have an apointment set up for on monday (he is out of town till then or we would have done it today). And we figure if that goes well we will fill out a purchase contract on tuesday and get the ball rolling. So cross your fingers for us.

okay!! Breathe

Ok so i think Kurtis' family has finally convinced him to move. Now i'm saying that if were gonna move i'm calling the health department and making our landlord make some changes and pay a heafty fine. Don't know where were going quite yet and its not happening this weekend. (kyler and i are going with his parents to Ceder City to watch kimly his sister play soccer for SUU) But i'm starting to feel better about it now. we tried our best to get rid of the smell and it was gone for about oh a day and its back now i can't get it out of things becuase it just keeps coming back. but as of right now we're looking into a few apts. We also have a lot of offers to live with family so we'll see what happens. I just want my baby safe i try to stay out of there as much as possible and keep the windows open so there is at least fresh air coming in. But you all are right its time to get out. Anyway just thought i would update. I'll put some pics on when things slow down. we have some cute family pics we took last weekend. ha ha now you have to wait till i get them up here. don't you just love that. :-)

Life is a ride and i feel kinda like i'm in the passangers seat!!!

Ok so its been awhile since i blogged i was getting good at checking all the time when i was at work, well as luck would have it i got layed off on the 25 of August. Its not necessarily a bad thing. Kurtis and i had been praying about weather it was time for me to be at home for awhile and i was really starting to dread september becuase i was supposed to be going back full time. The good part of it was that it was simply becuase the company is down 70% for those who don't know i used to work for the 2nd largest commercial mortgage company in salt lake city. Also with them laying me off they acutally paid me through sept. 15th like i went back full time in september. also my insurance is paid for through the end of september so until i can get on kurtis'. also i could try and collect unemployment. Plus i didn't have to quit i'm not very good at it. anyway life since then has been a bit of a trial. i'm hopeing that means that we'll be due for some good times soon. Not that having a baby isn't the best time but we could use some good time here soon.
As fate would have it i got sick right after i lost my job i figured it was just a flu or something so didn't go to the dr until yesterday. I've been having these rediculous headaches and sore ears bad fevers and night sweats and chills.

now the worst thing that has happened of late is that our apartment was flooded by the upstairs guys toilet tank last tuesday. And our sorry exuse for a landlord wouldn't let us call a cleaning crew to clean it up since he is away in oregon and just asked if we would clean it up ourselves. normally i wouldn't mind but this was toilet water and a ton of it. our entire hall was soaked we had to tear up the carpet we wanted to remove the padding underneath but he wouldn't let us. as i was explaining it to our landlord he told me i didn't know what i was talking about that there wasn't possibly any fecal material in the water becuase the guy upstairs told him so. now i might beleive the guy upstairs except he ran into the back of kurtis' car with his truck and when we confronted him about it he said no no i didn't do that. and you can only understand about every 3rd word out of his mouth. anyway our cealing was soaked we had water coming from one of the light sockets and part of the cealing in our bathroom fell down. when kurtis talked to the landlord to complaine a little and tell him where we were coming from the landlord told him if you don't like it "get your a** out". now this upset us even more knowing that our landlord is lds and we're pretty sure he is a temple worker. anyway he called me back the next day and apologiezed forever but still wouldn't let us tear up the padding or get it professionally cleaned. I asked kurtis if he wanted to file a complaint with the health department becuase i had talked with them about it he said no we would take the high road. so now i'm living in a stinky apartment part of the cealing in the bathroom is missing and i can't breath at night because of the smell and i'm sick. also i'm pretty sure it has giving me a rash. Kyler seems to be ok we try to stay out of it as much as possible during the day. and the smell is almost gone but my electric bill is going to be outrageous this month, and i can't walk on the carpet in the hallway with barefeet. my home doesn't feel like a place to relax or even a place i want to be. i'm so done renting. anyway sorry for the rant.
