Today we all got out the door on time and made it to Sunday school as well as sacrament meeting at the Community of Christ. Afterwards my dad called with some huge news. He and Suzanne were under contract for a new home! He invited us to come walk through it with them especially because they were still in their process of making their final decision and they were interested in our thoughts on it. First we ate lunch at Ikea and then we went to see the house. It was beautiful!!! And it’s about twice the size of their current home.
I chatted a bunch with my dad and Lily chatted a bunch with Suzanne. They are both under a lot of stress with Suzanne’s new promotion to library director for the law school at the U of U, and all of the craziness my dad has had to navigate getting under contract for the home (it’s a ridiculous market right now. Bidding wars are common, and average time for a home to be on the market is about 6 days). It was so nice to see them and be a part of this major decision they are going through. We love them!
After that stop, we visited Georgia. Ammon was asleep in the car, but everyone else got to see her. She is still in a sling and will see a doctor on Thursday. She’s in a lot of pain, but her spirit is beautiful and bright and it was very nice to see her.
Back at home Lydia worked on her animal picture. All of the kids have been crafting a lot lately and loving our crafting station so much.
For dinner we had MichaelAnne and her new boyfriend Matt over for dinner. We were completely charmed by Matt and we think he is wonderful for MichaelAnne. He is interesting (currently on a potato only diet), well traveled (he’s been bouncing around places for fun, loves to ski and was about to leave for San Francisco, but meeting MichaelAnne kept him in Utah, and he is kind (he was so polite and full of positive energy). We felt grateful that MichaelAnne wanted us to meet him. It was a super fun night. The conversation flowed freely and we all had a great time.
