Stir Crazy

So it's been a week since we last heard from our realtor and she told us "just one more week." Well the deadline, today, has come and gone and we still have no idea. It was a long day to wait for no news. I'm probably going to go crazy. Strike that, I probably am going crazy. I really need to stop watching HGTV, spending hours on Pinterest looking for ideas, furniture shopping and looking over paint options. Because I'm losing sleep over it! I lay awake for 1 or 2 hours every night mulling it all over in my mind until I'm swimming in couches and swirling in paint colors as I finally drift off to sleep. The wait is killer and the decorating is ridiculous. We're feeling more and more stir-crazy with this on the verge of happening but being stuck with mere ideas and no outlet. We should try and be grateful that our short sale house could possibly be ours 1-2 months sooner than we expected but it not a fun wait. I guess we'll just keep keeping our fingers crossed.

Melt Down

I'm so happy I have something somewhat exciting to post! Blogged two days in a row-go me! It's actually not really something I should be happy about though because it really became a big mess. Brian and I have a small chest freezer that we had to find a place for when we  moved in with my in-laws this week. They were nice enough to clear a little space in their garage for it and then it was kinda forgotten. This morning my father-in-law saw a long stream of water coming from it and when he took a closer look he realized that most of the food was thawed! Something had happened with the plug-in and it wasn't powering our freezer, probably for a day or more. Lucky for us most of the food was still pretty cold and not completely ruined but it all had to be cook/eaten ASAP. So my mother-in-law, Debbie and I spent most of the day trying to salvage what we could. I won't go into detail about the looks of the bottom of the freezer after all the red meat was thawed but suffice it to say it was disgusting. We cooked 3 roasts, 2 lbs. of ground beef and 1 lb. of sausage. The rest of the weekend's menu is planned though with a big turkey and a few packages of steaks to grill. I'm glad it didn't all go to waste but it made for an interesting morning....

Caved

So I finally caved in and made a blog for our life. It will probably be short and empty since we don't do well at documenting and for that matter, we really don't do much. :-) But here it goes. I thought since we have just moved to Nephi it might be a good time to start to keep family further away up-to-date. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will have gotten the house we want and can start posting all of the cool updates we want to do and that will give us something exciting to show. Crossing our fingers!
