Yep we are moving! My hubby went to pay our rent and noticed a for sale sign in front of our landlords house. I thought that was kinda funny so Steven called. But we never heard back. So he kept calling. Finally we got a return call from our landlord. They are selling their house cause they can't afford it. So they need to move into the house that we are in! Ok, talk about stress! But my friend Charai called and told me that her friend was moving to Las Vegas and that they needed renters for their house! We went and checked it out. It is smaller then our house now but so cute! It has a garden in the backyard and lots of grass! It is painted really cute too! We decided after looking at other houses and lots of prayers that we would take that house. They even worked with us on the deposit! I am so excited actually! We will be in a better ward too! The ward we are in now is not very welcoming! My friend will be in the ward and Kalob will have friends there too! It is 20 minutes farther away from Kalob's school but we will take him anyway! It's his last year of elementary school and I want him to be with his friends! A lot of Kalob's dance friends live in the same community too! So I will be closer to my friends as well! YAY! We are losing a lot of space but gaining so much more emotionally! Now we are going through EVERYTHING! We are going to have 2 garage sales to get rid of stuff we don't need anymore! It feels good to go through papers and shred a lot of junk! So we will be very busy this month!
I will update when I get the chance! Hope everyone has a perfect September!

wow! lots of changes for you! but i enjoy moving for (the only reason really) the fact that you get to clean and de-clutter all that stuff that you just never wanted to throw out but now you have to....fun!
suggestion for you though: don't have a garage sale. i was watching some show and they said that if you post of craigslist or ebay or something like that, you'll get more money for your stuff b/c you hitting a wider audience with saling your stuff (but keep it local so that you don't have to ship anything)
and i've got to tell you that downsizing in to a smaller house, in my opinion, to get a better social/spiritual vibe from your ward and friends, is sooooo much better! (one of the reasons i cringe when i think of moving any where outside our ward boundaries)
---i didn't know you lived in vegas. my brother and his family live there....small world! have fun packing!
Whoo Hoo Closer to us!!! Can't wait for the changes for you guys. It will be a lot of positives for all of you and you can't beat Charai's ward! I usually hate change (ok, always hate change) but this sounds like a great fit! Good luck and know we love you guys!
I just popped on here from Mormon Moms Who Blog and don't know you, but want to say it's great how you are looking at this stressful situation you have. I can't believe your landlord didn't tell you as soon as he knew that you'd need to move. I hope it really does all work out great!
