On Saturday, we went and purchased new appliances (refrigerator, washer and dryer). Today, they finally got delivered! We have been really needing those three things bad! 🙂 Now we can have some non-microwavable stuff and we won’t have to go over to the Liddells to wash our clothes! The washer and dryer are almost the […]
Today was our first Sunday in our new ward. Church starts at 8am here and it was a little difficult to get up due to all the unpacking and we were tired! 🙂 We have a feeling that our new ward will be awesome! It was Easter Sunday today and church was great! Everyone was
Today the movers came and got everything off the truck! By the time they were done (all the food storage was last), they were absolutely exhausted! 🙂 They were GREAT movers and what a great experience we had with moving end-to-end! If you want a great mover, go with Armstrong Relocation! The are AWESOME! It’s
Well today we made it official! We closed on our new home in Castle Rock, CO! We are really excited and were amazed at how much easier real estate transactions are out here. No attorney was required, people are more laid-back, and things couldn’t have gone smoother. We now have the keys and our stuff
Well, today starts a new adventure! We got up early and left Oscarson’s (and Illinois as residents for the last time) and drove out to Castle Rock! As I’ve said before, was hard to leave, but I know we’ll love it out in CO! The 16 hour drive went pretty fast and before we knew
Well, the movers came yesterday and packed up the truck and everything! We didn’t think we would fill a 52 foot truck, but we did! 🙂 The movers were REALLY tired after having moved all of our food storage. 🙂 Brittany’s friends came over while the movers were there and said their final good-bye’s. She
Today Sarah flew back to Provo! We’ll miss her. She won’t have much time after school gets out before she goes into the MTC, so we have to enjoy as much time as we can with her. When she gets done and comes back home, she’ll be coming back to a different house, a different
Today, Sarah had her “Missionary Farewell” talk in Sacrament meeting. She did such an incredible job and we are so proud of her! She has come a long way since her first 2 minute talk that she gave when she was 12! Kirstyn also got to speak as well and did an outstanding job also!
What a WONDERFUL day we had today! We got up early and drove to Nauvoo. Grandma and Grandpa Hobbs came with and we all went to the Nauvoo Temple with Sarah for her to receive her endowments. It was a very emotional day and one that we will never forget. What wonderful choices Sarah is
Today Zach had his first Pinewood Derby! He was so excited. He built most of the car by himself with only a little help from dad (I promise). 🙂 I’m not a huge fan of Pinewood Derby competitions (lots of kids end up crying) but Zach sure enjoyed it! He ended up in the bottom
Well, in the 18 years we have lived in Chicago, I never thought I would be able to go to Soldier Field. I never did get to see a game (don’t do Sunday games and Monday Night Football was always sold out and too expensive), but I did get to go to a vendor meeting
Today Kirstyn participated in the regional science fair with her project on how different types of sugar make bread rise. She did a GREAT job on her board, and really impressed the judges! At the end, she was awarded semi-finalist! She was glad she didn’t win outright because the state science fair will probably be
