big news...


well, we just have some news to say to everyone out there if you already haven't heard. no, we aren't pregnant. no, Brett hasn't gotten a job yet (but he is still interviewing and looking). yes, we are moving. wait, what? you are moving? YES! we. are. moving. yahoooo!! i have lived in Logan now for 4 years, and i am dunzo. i have kinda had it with the worst winters in Utah, the small town college scene, the ghetto Walmart down the street, and the dumbest drivers in Utah. seriously, Logan is the capital for the stupidest drivers known to man. don't get me started on why because i won't be able to stop. just know it's the truth. but anywho, back to moving. we are moving...in 2 weeks! yes, we know its soon and yes, we know its going to be a lot in that short amount of time, especially since we don't want our families to have to drive up here to help us because it's going to be freezing and just a lot of driving. so we are doing it ourselves, and i think Brett will recruit a few of his friends up here to move the big stuff. but we are totally up for the challenge. and no we haven't started packing. that part starts today. i am not looking forward to it. packing is not my favorite thing and i have been putting it off for a week now. today is the day. if we don't start today we might not get it all packed in time. i am excited to get rid of all the junk we don't need anymore, but not excited to pack up everything.
oh, and you are probably wondering why we are moving in 2 weeks when Brett has school until mid-December. we don't want to have to pay for December's rent, and we could definitely use our deposit for Christmas money along with our December's rent so it was kind of a no-brainer for us. well, maybe not for us, but for Brett. it's going to stink living down in south Jordan just me and Dylan for 2 weeks, but apparently, to Brett, the money is worth it. and i know it will be worth it to me to once we actually have money for Christmas.
oh, and as to where we are living. well, like i said, we are moving to South Jordan, and moving into my mom's basement apartment. it's super nice, has it's own entrance and kitchen and everything. it's going to be a little tight, especially since there is only one bedroom which means Dylan is going to have to sleep in the exercise room (in his crib of course). it's going to be interesting. but good. i am actually really excited. and so is Brett. Logan is just old news now. the drive back and forth from Salt Lake and Logan has gotten so routine and old i could literally drive it with my eyes closed. it will be soooo nice to live close to all our friends and family, especially for the holidays and we won't be having to drive back and forth every week for family stuff. and it will be fun to live so close to my mom and siblings, and Brett's family. they are all obsessed with Dylan and it will be nice that they will be able to see him more, and we have built-in babysitters. woot woot!
we will most likely be living at my mom's for a year and a half. Brett will be done with his master's program by then so it will hopefully be time to look for a house! yippee!
it will be sad to leave all our friends up here, especially our ward. we just love our ward. it will be hard going from such a great young adult ward to a family ward. but, i love my mom's ward so it won't be that hard. it will just be different, but good.
it's weird, some days i just can't wait to get out of here, and others i am so sad to be leaving. i have said for so long that i can't wait to get out of Logan. and now that's it's here it's so surreal. i am so sad to be leaving a great townhouse that we have built and made a lot of memories in. we brought our first baby home to this house. we have grown so much here. it will be good though. the change is scary to think of, but once it has happened i know we will just love it.

so much to do, and so little time. 2 weeks is going to come a lot faster than i think it is.
