Today was a very exciting day for everyone.
For Lily, Lydia and Mary, it was exciting because they went to Disneyland Hong Kong! They loved it!. They said that Frozen land was amazing. Here are some pictures!
We also had a super eventful day back at home. The day started with a yummy and fun breakfast with Todd, Casey and Kora joining us at Maggelby’s. I love Maggelby’s!
Then we went home and I took Ammon to and from math class. For the rest of the day until 3PM, I was racing around the house getting it ready for potential renters to look at, and loading some boxes into our packrat container while I was at it. The house was in great shape a week ago when we got the photos taken, but it took a solid five hours to get things sparkling and tidy for the walkthroughs (while also getting some packing done for moving).
The walkthroughs went so well. Both Lily and Charity (our property manager) have been amazing. They drove everything to get our house posted online to drive applications. And we were so fortunate because for the first people who looked at our home, it was a perfect fit. Their family needs were a perfect fit for our home. By the next day I had spun up contracts (with the help of Derrek, our friend/lawyer/ and Charity her husband TJ) and we had signatures. I couldn’t believe how fortunate we were!
After all the showings, we took Georgia to the Olive Garden. It was so nice to see her. We had a great connection over dinner and I really enjoyed seeing her. What a great day it was!
Once again, Ammon and Clarissa were such champs. After their big breakfast at Maggelby’s they had almost no food the rest of the day. I was paranoid about even a crumb getting out of place with the rental showings coming up, so I mandated no food until dinner. They only whined a little (and understandably so), and then they were rewarded with a great dinner at Olive Garden and Menchies once again. What great kids they have been! This has been an unusually busy and intense time for me, and Ammon and Clarissa have been understanding, self-sufficient, creative, and kind. They have been so helpful.
Also, we got to catch up with Lily, Lydia and Mary, while we were driving around. Lily commented on how beautiful Clarissa was and took a picture of the Facetime screen from their conversation together.
