Sold!

We got back from our California trip on Saturday which was a lot of fun (I will be posting pics shortly). The Tuesday that we were on our trip I got a call from the agent of the guy who is buying our house. She said they were ready to close (which was a HUGE surprise to us because we didn't think we would be closing until July 10th) So since we weren't even in state we had to have the title company email us the documents and we overnighted them back. But the crazy part about all of it was that we had to be out of our condo by 3pm on SUNDAY! Mind you, that we didn't even get home from Cali until 8pm on Saturday night. So in a matter of about 8 hours we moved and cleaned our entire condo. It was utter ChAoS. I couldn't pack well because we were trying to hurry so fast and now all of our stuff is just scattered everywhere through Darin's parents house. Luckily we have some great family and friends that were there to help us. It was really overwhelming but we are so happy it is over with and now we can start the building process of our new home. I feel so bad for my pup. He's so confused with everything that is going on right now. He was at my Grandmas while we were gone then we get home for one night and all this crazy stuff is happening. He was throwing up all Sunday morning because he was so stressed out. It's really weird how they can sense things that are happening. The poor thing. Anyway I was hoping to get our California pictures up soon but considering I don't even know where my camera is right now, it might take a few days.

Hell is a place where they wax you all day....

Torture!! Complete and utter torture!! I DO NOT know why I put myself through such pain. So I had my wax yesterday and the only word to describe it was just INTENSE. So intense that I am laying there on the paper covered spa table sweating so bad that the paper is soaked and sticking to my skin in tiny peices. (who mixes wax and paper anyway? c'mon) My whole body is shaking so much that the poor girl probably thought I was having a seizure. So she waxes my legs and then proceeds to pull out the tweezers to "pluck the stray hairs" which honestly felt like she was jamming a sewing needle into my skin. What satisfaction it would have been to just grab her tweezers and gouge her eyes out or just kick her in the face. I know, I know the poor girl is just trying to do her job so I kept my feet to myself. If I am ever on here saying I'm going to get a wax, just kill me. Death probably wouldn't hurt as bad.

It was fun....

getting to choose all of the stuff for our new house. There were so many options. These are the selections we made but it's kind of hard to see them. It's hard to tell if everything is going to go well together. I hope we don't walk in and hate it. And we had another thing added to our luck list; they just barely changed it to where tile, granite, two tone pain and Alder cabinets come standard. So we didn't spend as much on upgrades as we thought we would. I can't wait for them to start building. I'm going to be the person that drives by every single day to see what's been done. Haha!

How will I fit it all!?!?

So maybe if I write about all the stuff I have to do it might relieve a little of my stress and help me remember everything. This will probably be a long post so you don't have to read all of it. Let me first start off by saying this is an exciting day!! We have our design center appointment at 1:30 where we get to choose all the colors and stuff for our new house. I'm so excited. We got to choose a few things when our condo was being built but not much. I think we were only at that appointment for 30 minutes and this one is 3 hours. So I guess we have a few more decisions to make this time :)

We are leaving for California on Saturday for a week!! Wahoo, I'm so ready for a vacation. We're going to Sea World (where I secretly wish I could work) and Six Flags. We are also doing this way cool kayak/snorkel tour in La Jolla. You kayak through the 7 sea caves of La Jolla then you snorkel with Leopard Sharks (June-September is their mating season) They said the sharks mouths were only the size of a quarter but I promise I'm still scared.

I hope our sharks look more like this....

And less like this.....(IT'S HUGE)

But before we can leave Saturday I have to A. Pack for our trip B. Go to my friend Hannah's Boutique open house tonight. There is a link to her website on my blog {Hush Boutique} where she will be selling LOTS of cute baby stuff that's great for new mommy to be's or baby showers(if anyone is interested in going, let me know and I can give you the address) C. Go to our Bishop's surprise birthday party (now that Darin is assistant ward clark we have to go to these things) D. Pick up a desk we bought E. a wax appointment (OUCH!) F. and somewhere in there, manage to start packing up our entire house. The agent said they would like to close either the first or second week in July so we really don't have much time.

Ok-so that really didn't make me less stressed. I think it made it worse because now I see that it really is a lot of stuff. AAGGHHH what a crazy wonderful life we have!

Love the One You're With......

So I had to read another Emily Giffin book since the last one was good. This one was good although I almost felt like I was sinning just reading it. :)

Ellen, a 30-something NYC photographer, is married to Andy, an "all American," sensitive, handsome, and successful attorney. Ellen and Andy have a "perfect" marriage and to top it off, Andy's younger sister is Ellen's best-friend from college. Ellen couldn't be happier....that is.. until she runs into Leo, the former love of her life who broke her heart 8 years earlier. Leo is charming, funny, and has smoldering good looks that literally make Ellen weak in the knees. So when Leo expresses a renewed interest in Ellen, she is forced to reconcile the strength of her love for Andy (and respect for her marriage) with the passion and yearning she has always felt for Leo....The story really makes you think about love and what makes a successful relationship, including one with a parent, sibling, friend or spouse.

This book really gets your heart a racin and I enjoyed reading it.
