Christmas Time!!

We have been married for four months!! It is crazy how time goes by! We have been living in Paul Housing in a little one bedroom apartment. I will get pictures up soon I promise!! We also have our first Christmas tree! It turned out really good although it is fake... we got a gift certificate to Real Deals in Burley for our wedding and I had no idea what we would spend it on so we bought a tree and some ornaments and good stuff like that. It works out perfectly!

We will only be in our little apartment for another week and a few days and then we will be moving to Rexburg. As we were trying to find a small place to rent in Rexburg we began to get really frustrated because everything is so darn expensive. Plus every place we called was already full for the Winter Semester (and we started calling in October!). Then one of Damon's friends said that they live in a mobile home and in the long run it saves alot of money, so we looked into it. Damon looked at every aspect and decided that if we could find a good deal it would definitely be worth it. So we started looking at them online. We found a really nice looking one and they had several offers so we had to go that week to check it out. There was a short list of homes that we also wanted to look at. On the way to Rexburg we decided on the price that we would pay that would be a super good deal. The first one we went to was not all that impressive and I was slightly worried. The next one was a ways out of Rexburg and it had to be moved but he had said that he was willing to go down some on his price. This one was wayyyy better! It was newer, nicer, the walls were actually straight and it was quite a bit less expensive! When the guy was showing us around he told us the amount that he would be willing to go down to... it was exactly the price we decided that would be a super good deal!! We were definitely interested! We had one more to check out. It was a year older than the one that we liked and from the pictures it looked nice but possibly not worth how much they were asking. After we left we pulled over and said a prayer that we would make the right decision! We felt very good about the home outside of Rexburg! We just have to move it into a mobile home park, which we found a place open in a really nice neighborhood and as incentive to move in, we get three months of free lot rent! I will get pictures of that up too as soon as we get there!

For those of you that didn't know we sold our car on Thanksgiving! So now we are back to driving the Cadillac, which actually died while I was driving it but Damon was right behind me and saved me...it was right next to his parents house. Damon changed the alternator and now it works again but his pickup is done for. But we might be going and getting a pickup in Utah tomorrow.

With Christmas so close I just have to say how grateful we are for all of our many many blessings! Life is so great when you are living the gospel! We are so grateful for all of our friends and family! We love you guys!!
