The Hunt May Be OVER!!

So Dallas and I have been on the hunt for apartments for about 2 months now! We've been living with the in-laws for about 3 weeks because our FABULOUS landlords from our previous apartment said we needed to move out in 30 days so that their brother/brother-in-law could move in. It was a great experience!.... haha.

Although, our in-laws are great and we are so grateful to them for allowing us to live here for the time that we've needed to find a place, it's time that we get back on our own.

It's been VERY frustrating trying to find places to live. We've looked to basement apartments with included utilities and that narrowed down our search way too much. They hardly exist anymore and maybe like one out in the great state of Utah allows pets. We got very lucky with our previous place. So we decided to give up on that and to just search apartment complexes with most utilities included. We found a couple of places but there are the great fees of parking, pet rent, getting a router, cable, and the police and fireman tax. So it makes them waayyy more expensive then what they say at the start. So that's been very trying for us. We're pretty much over it. We found a place we really liked and that would work for us because it includes cable, parking, and there's no pet rent! Buuut..there weren't any one bedrooms available. But I checked on their site today and miraculously one opened up!!! So, we're sending in the applications today and going to pray SUPER hard tonight that we get it. It's in a great location! Very private, close to work, close enough yet, far enough from the family,and it's in an elite area. So, we're really excited and really hoping to get it! So keep us in your prayers and maybe just keep an eye our for open places for the hopefully rare possibility that we won't get this one. Here's some pictures of it. :)

YES!

I love this because the vanity is outside so I can do my hair while Dal takes a shower! :)

Dining room (I like the accent wall idea..maybe I'll do mine like a darkish yellow)

Bedroom

Nice, spacious living room! :) (Red accent wall?)

Thanks to everyone for the support during this time. It's been frustrating but it has brought Dallas and I closer in ways that I wouldn't have imagined! I'm so grateful to my friends, family, and most importantly my wonderful, perfect, loving husband!

GOOD BYE!

Ok I know I've cried wolf about this a few times....but my facebook is now officially gone. It's true. I had Dallas change the password to something I don't know because, yes, I am so horribly addicted I can't just do it myself haha. But it's gone. At least until I can get some things figured out. It's too much of a distraction and I need to get some things accomplished.

So, sad day I know. But you can keep up with me on here! I'll try to update this as much as I can. I've never been good with journals so I'm not so good with a blog! haha!

So here's what is going on..

Hey everyone! So not much really going on in our lives. Dallas started school last week! It will be his last semester at UVU and then he will get his bachelors and transfer to University of Utah to start school for Physical Therapy! Yes, we're going to have another physical therapist in the fam! So that'll be sweet! Especially since I constantly need a PT with my horrible back and neck problems..UGH!

Work with me is going pretty well. My boss can be quite a handful to deal with but you gotta let it roll off your shoulders. Especially since he's been in the business for over 30 years...and I have been in it for 3 months haha. But I'm learning a lot and I really enjoy it as long as he's not talking to me ;) haha.

Dallas and I have decided to go on the dog whisperer because we have lost complete control of our dog Koda. He is satan! lol. He eats everything and he bites us all the time. He's like and unruly two year old child. It's ridiculous. So we will be sending a video to the Dog Whisperer pretty soon haha.

New Car!

I bought a new car! We sold the Mazda. It was time, the ac was out and the clutch was slipping so we sold it to Dallas's uncle and they took care of the repairs! Now I have an adorable black VW Beetle! It has a sunroof and leather interior. It's got marvelous AC and seat warmers. It's a 2000 and I LOVE it! It's so fun to drive cause it has a turbo engine. Of course we'll have to trade it in for an SUV when we have childrens but we won't be having them for a couple of years...at least that's our plan! So here's some pictures!

Update on Amanda

Amanda ended up having 4 surgeries and was in an induced coma to heal. She had a fever of over 100. They took her off of dialysis and on Monday morning they took her out of the coma! :). She still has a breathing tube down her throat and she's still critical. But they're removing the breathing tube today which is great! The Willinghams/Lloyds are so thankful for all of the prayers and the blood donated to help Amanda. She's on the road to recovery. She's a fighter! Thank you everyone! :)

Amanda Lloyd

My best friends sister Amanda, who is also my dear friend, just had a baby boy on Monday named Rhett Lloyd. She had a c-section because both her and the baby were in distress due to Amanda having fatty liver pregnancy. Rhett swallowed some fluids and went to the nicu to be monitored due to high fevers. Amanda was sent to the ICU because her kidneys and liver weren't functioning properly and they were preparing to put her on dialysis. A tube had to be put down her throat because she was only breathing 10% on her own. The next day (today) she had two surgeries to remove fluid build up and her gallbladder and appendix. She is in critical condition right now and we're all hoping for the best. Right now her family is asking for blood donations in her name. She is O+ and even if your not that blood type she can still get credits. Please donate at Carter Blood Center. And please please pray for her. Rhett is very healthy now and doing well. Now we're just waiting for Amanda to make a full recovery. We'll be having a special fast and prayer for her tomorrow. So please participate.

4th of Juuuly!

We had a great 4th of July! We went to a parade on Saturday morning and had a scrumptious Mcdonalds breakfast! Nothin better. Then we packed up our things and went to the great BEAR LAKE!! We just set up camp when we got there...we didn't go out on the boat because it was a little chilly. Sunday we went over to Dal's aunt and uncles cabin(sorry mansion) for his uncles birthday. We ate some cake and shot off some fireworks and I got attacked by a bat...it was marvelous. We attempted to go to an awesome cave but we got there at closing time and they were done so that was a bummer. Monday we went out on the boat. The water was FREEZING cold...but yet it was still way fun. Unfortunately my camera died over the weekend so I didn't get any pictures :-/. Buuuutttt, we're going back on the 24th so I will make up for it! :). But here are some pics of the parade.
