I guess I should update this more regularly.... to get everything up to date I'll just highlight the biggest things:

• We're having a baby! Due the first week of March--we'll know if it's a boy or a girl soon...
• Matt likes his new job at E-vault, but doesn't like the commute when there's traffic (it can take 30 min or an hour and 30 min.)
• I'm still at Bluehost in fraud prevention (I'll be leaving at the end of Feb.)

Finally Moved In!

It seems like it took forever, but we finally are in our new condo and paying a mortgage instead of rent! Thanks to Mommy for coming and helping with lots of unpacking! We love it and will be posting new pictures of it (with our stuff instead of the old pictures on the seller's blog). Although we're not terribly fond of HOA's, the one we're in is pretty good, we have a pool, playground, workout room, the grounds and buildings are maintained regularly--in fact even though our buildings are a few years old than the condo-complex right next to us, ours looks significantly newer because the HOA is on top of keeping things up. Charlie has gotten a little territorial of the condo, but with the advice of the lady on "It's Me or the Dog" we're working on some behavior modification to stop him from barking when people come to the door and waiting a few feet from the door while we open it so he doesn't charge at visitors to try and smell them. Anyway, I should get back from my lunch, I'll post more later.

closing

So, of course the closing date moved again, but this time we have a scheduled time, so that's good (it shouldn't move again). We close on Monday the 21. It seems like there's tons going, on but nothing new...

FHA loan

So, FHA loans are a pain in the rear, but we finally have everything in and should (we hope and pray) close on Friday the 18th. My mom is coming up on Monday to help us unpack--especially since Matt started a new job today and will be working a full 40 hours/week, which he hasn't done in a while since College Works has such a unique schedule....We'll also be buying the "bubble" the mini van that started with Nani and Grandpa. That way I don't have to hitch-hike to work.....OK, so I don't have to take the bus. Anyway, I should probably get back from my lunch brake now, but I'm sure I'll have more to write later.

here's the condo we're in the process of buying: http://chamberycondoinorem.blogspot.com/

Just an update

Well, life is absolutely insane right now, but we're still being very blessed. The apartment in Provo turned out to be a health-hazard, with mold growing in the bathroom walls. We told the landlord that it was grounds to be let out of our lease, eventually he complied and gave us our deposit and month's rent back. Fortunately it was discovered quickly, so we only slept there 2 nights. We are now crashing at Grandpa Cruser's (Matt's grandpa) old house in American Fork--it hasn't sold yet and probably won't for a while.
After the whole apartment catastrophe we realized that with as much as we were going to be paying in rent there we might as well stop renting and pay a mortgage. We are in the middle of buying a condo in Orem. It's 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and beautiful; now we're just hoping that all the loan stuff goes through.
Matthew is starting a new job on July 15; he'll still be helping out his College-Works interns for the rest of the summer, but they're pretty self-sufficient already. His new job is with e-vault a data-storage-backup company. I've started working full-time for BlueHost at least temporarily.
Over all although things are crazy, we're happy and things are falling into place nicely.

We're moving....

Anyone who doesn't have our new address yet can email me to get it.
