West Jordan

oh yeah...we moved!



we have been looking at houses for a long time...just daydreaming about moving never really thinking it could work until a little further into the future. (since we bought our condo right before the market crashed. awesome.) but a few months ago we spotted a cute house in west jordan that was an awesome deal, we found renters for the condo, and within a month we were sleeping under a new roof!

west jordan is slowly growing on me. i was worried because i really love salt lake and sometimes i feel so far away from everything familiar but i have to remind myself we are only 20 minutes away. (thank goodness mabel is starting to tolerate her carseat.) nate's office is super close too so that is a plus.

i did have a few anxiety attacks right when we moved in because almost EVERY SINGLE ROAD near our house was under construction. no really, EVERY SINGLE ROAD. i wanted to scream every time I tried to go somewhere since it would take me 3x as long. especially the grocery store. we are right by jordan landing which has every store known to man except a grocery store. (i refuse to go to walmart) and then andrea told me about a harmons right by our house. oh harmons, how i love you. things have gotten much better since that day.

we are still trying to get unpacked (things go a lot slower with a baby) but we are making progress. i love having more space (a whole basement too!) and we are thrilled to have a yard where mabel can play and we can have a garden. the catchildren have done remarkably well, they still haven't gone outside though. we are liking our neighborhood, have made a few new friends, and who knew a garage could make nate so happy? :)

can't wait for lots of happy memories to be made in our new home.

It is a GREAT house ... just one small problem ... it's 8 hours away from Grandma Sherrill's house :(
