Our new house....

So, it is not final yet but here is where we are hoping to buy this week. Here is the subdivision. It is called Stockman's Hollow and it is a great location in Papillion, Nebraska. We are about 25 minutes from downtown Omaha. 35 minutes from the Temple. 10 minutes from our ward house.This is a new construction house that was pre-built and will be complete on September 24th. Here is the floor plan. It is a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath that has over 2200 finished square feet. There is an unfinished basement that could be a large recreation room, a bedroom and a bathroom in the future. We are excited to move in, and I am excited to stop commuting the hour and a half each way per day. This is not final. we talked to the financial people and they only let people put offers in if they are pre-approved. We should have a pre-approval Monday and put in the offer on Tuesday.

Moving sale

We are busily getting ready for a Moving/Garage/yard/everything must go sale at our house. This next Saturday it is go time. We have bookshelves, toys, clothes, coffee tables, electronics, and a bunch of other stuff. Tiffany loves these things so it should be ready to go on Saturday. We have got to get rid of the clutter so that we only have to move what matters to the new place. I just put 2 screws in the bookshelves so that it won't tip over. Colton is going through his toys deciding if 800 different balls are enough or if 1 can be sold...Since we will not move until the end of September we are putting Colton in School for 1 month. Tomorrow he starts again. He is excited to be back with his friends even if it is for a short time. Next time I blog I will tell you about the house we are buying.

Slacker...Yep that's me!!

Yes I am a slacker but if you are not used to it by now you never will be. Life is crazy right now. I drive an hour and a half each way every day to work. And it is a new job (which I love!!) so I am spending extra time getting down all the different job functions. We are looking for a house. I am trying to spend time with the kids so that they feel special during this time of transition. And I need sleep. So, updating the blog loses out.
We are pretty close to deciding on a house. It is a huge 2000 sq ft new construction house. I like it a lot!! the down side right now is the neighborhood. Because it is a newer area you never know how it will end up. The schools in the area are good. The church building is about 5 minutes away. Work will be about 20-25 minutes. It is close to a Target, Walmart and other stuff. We should have the decision made by end of the week so stay tuned!!

Offer done!!

Last night I signed the offer on the Fiegel's buying our house. I am leaving Thursday morning to SLC to get the family and drive back to Sioux City for now. It is about 6:00 here and i think I am going to go look around town a little bit. I want to show Tiff around Omaha on Sunday so we can get moved down here fast. Super excited about all that stuff. I am very anxious to see my family again. It has been too long!! Caiden has doubled in weight since i last saw him!!! I have presents for them and everything. My Mom said she was inviting Ryan and Matt and Families in for Dinner on Thursday. In case you read this and haven't heard from Mom yet, make sure your night is open for one last hurrah and maybe a game of Nerts. I'll even let Ryan win.....

Yesssss

Just met the people who are going to buy our house. Tiff won't answer my call so she doesn't even know it yet. They are approved already with a lender, her father is a lawyer who will do all the paperwork. They both teach at middle schools here in Sioux City. They have a 6 month old and a few dogs. It has been a busy day so far with the Open House. I hate missing church but Sunday's are when Open Houses happen in this town. So excited....Cannot sit still.....must pace.....more to come soon!!

Garden

I just picked the first tomato's of the season out of the garden. I looked out there and saw 3 cherry tomato's ready to go. They were sooooooo good. I am excited for Tiff and the kids to come back. Colton has asked me several times to make sure I leave him some tomato's.
Zucchini is another issue. I gave away 5 and have 8 in our fridge. We have Zucchini coming out of our ears. Next time we will only do 1 plant instead of 2. No one can eat all the zucchini off 2 plants. Our green peppers are doing well. They are still small but growing quickly.

Looking for a car

I went out looking for a new car last night. I have never been to a car lot where I did not immediately get harassed. In Sioux City on Friday and Saturday car lots close at 6:00. I was able to go to 3 lots and look really close at all the cars. Of course, I would have liked to test drive 2 of them to see if I like the performance. There was a Toyota Corolla that I liked but, my favorite was a Nissan Sentra. Check it out here. I will have to let Tiff take a look when she gets back.
