House Update

By -
Last week, we found out that we were not going to close on our house before the end of the month. We quickly found a storage unit and started moving stuff in there. We had to file an extension because our lender is an idiot and didn't get his stuff together very quickly. Last Wednesday, we moved all of our "big stuff" out and little by little the rest of our stuff. I forgot how much "stuff" we have until we moved...and boy do we have a lot. My (Rachael) sister Lisa, came up for Friday and Saturday and helped me clean. Also, we had some very nice ladies from our ward come on Saturday morning and help us finish cleaning. So thanks to everyone's help we were able to be done on Saturday night. It looked so clean, cleaner than it was when we moved in.

This morning (Monday) we had our move out inspection with the apartment. It went really well. I have been stressing over for a while. Chena chewed about 2 inches off the bottom of the door and we lost a 5 gallon jug of liquid soap on the carpet, so I was pretty sure we would have to pay. But she was very nice, down to earth and completely understood. I was so grateful for that...we even get money back. Hip Hip Hooray! Something I didn't think would ever happen.

We are having our house walk through tomorrow. We are waiting on GBS (Government Bidding Service) to finish with those papers and we can close. We are scheduled to close on Thursday @ 3 pm. Since it is a bank owned home, we have to wait for it to be fully funded before we can have our keys, which we are hoping in Friday! So everything pray for things to go smoothly. We are hoping to have a big moving party on Saturday.

We are so excited to get into our home. I'm very thankful for a Father in Heaven, who looks out for us and is aware of our needs. We have been so blessed through this whole process. Even though we have had some struggles, I know he is there for us and is watching over us.

DIY Storage Bed

By -

A couple weeks ago I was digging under my bed for my shoes (I'm really organized).  As I reached under there my hand was stabbed by a jagged piece of my box springs.  A little more investigating told me that 5 of the the 10 crossbars on there were cracked in half.   I had always wanted a storage bed but when I saw the prices ($299 and up) online I was taken aback.  I then found this link on Pinterest - Storage Bed Plans - and decided to give it a go.  I priced the wood and decided that with a few tweaks I could make this bed for about half the price of a pre-made storage bed.  Plus those IKEA beds and the like are made out of cheap particle board and veneer.  To be honest, I really thought it was going to take me months to get around to doing it because I know how I usually procrastinate.  I bought the wood on June 30th and started work on it July 4th.  I just finished it today and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked I actually completed it... and it ACTUALLY looks good.  Bel

We're having a baby boy in April! We're so freaking excited! I (brad) and more excited that I was right than I was about the outcome of the ultrasound. As a husband I only get to be right once in a while. HAHA. We are working on picking a name but are open to some suggestions. Let's hear your name choices for little baby boy huntsman.

FUN IN THE RAIN

YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT DAY! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. ON OUR WAY BACK FROM SODA SPRINGS, WE HAD TO STOP IN POCATELLO AND DROP OFF THOSE SILLY LIFE JACKETS AND OARS @ THE ISU OUTDOOR CENTER. IT STARTED TO HAIL AND RAIN LIKE CRAZY AS WE GOT INTO POKY. THERE WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES OF STANDING RAIN AND THE PUDDLES WERE HUGE. SO WE GOT CLOSER TO IDAHO FALLS, IT STARTED TO CLEAR UP. WHEN WE GOT TO IDAHO FALLS, WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO HIT SOME BALLS AT THE DRIVING RANGE. BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE, THE CLOUDS HAD MOVED IN AND IT STARTED TO RAIN & HAIL AGAIN. WE WERE STUCK AT THE GOLF COURSE UNTIL IT CLEARED UP A LITTLE. AFTER ALL THAT RAIN, THE FRONT OF OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX LAWN WAS FLOODED. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHENA TO GET HER IN THE WATER. SHE IS GETTING MUCH BETTER. SHE LOVED IT. WE HAD A FUN 45 MINUTES PLAYING IN THE PUDDLE.
