first update: moving...


so, here i am a week after i said that i would start updating. does that give you an idea of how crazy busy things have been? it's weird to be busy. not that i wasn't before, but now that Brett is working all day everyday, i am pretty busy playing with and taking care of the little one, paying bills, running errands, doing stuff with friends, working out (yes, i am on day 8 in a row minus weekends...nice eh?), cooking dinner and all the other random things that come up in my day. i am quite enjoying it so far to be honest. i haven't really had any down-time to get bored or wish that i was more busy, so i am grateful for that. hopefully it stays that way. i think it should, since i already have a pretty good routine going. cross your fingers.

and now, the update. we have moved. obviously most of you knew that. but, it was a big deal so i must document it. we moved about a month ago, and it was pretty much the biggest pain in the butt we have ever had to deal with, for more than the obvious of packing up and moving all our crap out of our place (by the way, moving freaking sucks. once we get into a house, i am never moving again unless we get a moving service. biggest pain ever). our landlord was a massive pain in the behind, and, a very very long story short, kept our entire deposit ($550 people) and made us fork over another $250 because of stupid 'late fees' she had apparently acquired over our 18 months of living there (without ever letting us know) because, apparently, our rent wasn't on time and for each day it was late, she charged 30 bucks. yeah, we were pissed. we fought it, and she says that she gave us a 'deal' and wasn't making us pay the entire amount, but whatever. she is basically Satan's mistress, and can go to H. yeah, if you couldn't tell, we are still a tad miffed about it. it's hard not to be. i am not to the point where i need counseling about how angry i am, but if i keep typing about it i might get there, so let's move on...

it took about a week to unpack all our stuff and we are now happily settled in my mother's basement. it's quite cozy. Dylan is happy sleeping and napping in my mom's exercise room in his crib, and we have the one bedroom in the basement that happens to be right next door to him. most of our stuff is still boxed up and sitting in my sister's basement (thank you Cami and Brandon!!) and so luckily we aren't paying for a storage unit. i like being here, it's nice having my mom right upstairs and it's nice living rent-free for a little bit. and we LOVE being in Salt Lake! i seriously got sooo sick of Logan, i was getting to the point where i would've moved to flipping India to get out of there. i don't miss it even a little bit. 

i know i have lots more to update about but i just checked 2 off my list of things to update on. yay! more updates to come in next day or two.
i will leave you with these little goodies that brett and i took tonight...because, of course, we are awesome and goofing around with a photobooth app on my tablet is just how we roll. enjoy :)
