Sold

I decided instead of giving away my clothes, I would try to ebay them. I've sold 5 items and got $19. lol Hey, it's something... We are doing the home inspection for our new house tomorrow. I'm excited to go see it now that it's pretty much ours! I watched Hannah and Abigail all day yesterday while Cheryl moved. I got to see their new house when I dropped them off. I'm happy for them. It's a nice house, but I don't like the parking. And I felt like I was going to get mugged walking to the visitor lot with hardly any street light. I'll just have to visit during the day. haha Now, we're just focusing on getting the Orem house ready to sell. We hired a guy in the stake to fix pretty much everything that needed fixing. Then we just gotta put in closet doors in some of the rooms and paint some areas and we'll be good. I really hope it sells quickly.

Well, the good news is, we are under contract for a house. The bad news is, we have to panic until, I mean have faith that the Orem house sells before our financing deadline. Lol.

I took the van to get an estimate today. It's going to cost over 4k, so it's a good thing I'm not paying for this. It will take about a week, so they will get me a rental car. It still seems weird that I'm old enough to even drive a rental car. I can't believe I'll be 30 soon. I'm very happy Will will be going back to school next week. He gets so bored here and then drives us all nuts. lol We've looked at a few houses, made a couple of offers, but I guess we haven't found the right house because those didn't work out. I feel a little sad about one, but I know we'll end up where we are supposed to. Right now we're just going to focus on getting the Orem house ready to sell. Tomorrow I will be heading over to finish staining the banister and some other little things.

On my way to the store today I was hit by a car that ran a red light. Thankfully there were plenty of witnesses since the girl couldn't remember what happened. It wasn't a very bad accident by any means, but the girl was apparently shaken up. I'm ok, the van is drivable, but it will need some body work on the driver and side doors. It was kinda funny, as the car was coming at me, I could see a crash was imminent and I had time to brace myself and pretty much just wait for the bump. Strangely, when things like this happen, I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be. Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is as long as I'm trying to live the Gospel and pray for protection and guidance, I feel like I am where I'm supposed to be. I guess our car accident backed up traffic enough that it caused another accident as soon as the police showed up. I'm just glad it was minor and the kids were not with me. I'm also glad both times this has happened to me I have not been in our little junker car. It is the best little car that never has any problems, but is just so old, the value would surly not have exceeded the repairs and we wouldn't have been able to get a replacement equal to that for the amount given to replace it. Plus it doesn't have working airbags. Tonight we are watching a moving with the kids and will do a little countdown to 8pm and have some martinellis to celebrate the new year. lol

In case you don't have fb

Great 3 minutes

FHE

Last night for fhe, we talked about how some people are different and even though some people may laugh or make fun, we don't. We sang the If you don't talk like most people do song and I looked up some quick images on google to show since the kids really haven't been exposed to people that are different. I searched kid in a wheelchair, kid with one arm, kid with no legs, people with severe burns; it was going very well, and the kids were very sympathetic and expressed that they would love these people like Jesus did. So, I'm serving up cookies for refreshments and all of the sudden I hear Will say,"bwahahah, he has two heads. I searched kid with 2 heads. hahaha" *major rolling my eyes* He thought it wasn't real and was just looking up ridiculous images. Little did he know, that can actually happen. So we had to go over the whole point of the lesson again.

A great thing I heard on Sunday; I guess said by Pres. Monson a couple years ago: Choose your love and love your choice. One of the truest things I know. I'm tired, so that's all. lol
