Well...

We found a house! I'm not going to post a picture because I'm sure there's someone out there who would just love to kidnap my gorgeous baby but it's in Smithfield (a town just north of Logan). It's 10 miles from Matt's new job and a few blocks away from the highschool so we think it's a pretty good location. The only bad thing is we'll be like 15 minutes away from my sister, maybe that will be good though so I don't drive her nuts going to her house every day. We're going to close on it the day after we close on the sell of our current house so we can move right in. I'm soooo glad because I was dreading moving twice.

Posts without pictures are no fun so I'll post a few of Spencer...

Spencer is doing great, he rolls all over the place but hasn't figured out crawling yet. He'll get up on his knees and stick his bum in the air (it reminds me of a stink bug) and then launch himself forward, it's fun to watch.

P.S. Mindy, sorry that I wasn't able to find a house within a mile of your apartment, I'll still visit you a lot though! :)

He Sits!

Isn't my baby amazing? He can already sit up on his own, it only took him 6 months to learn!

Sadly, that is the most exciting thing I have to post this week. Not a whole lot has been going on since we accepted the offer on our house. Tomorrow Matt, Spencer, and I are going to go to Logan and try to find a house. If we can't find one we like then we'll start looking for an apartment. We have to be out by the 24th so hopefully we can find something fast! I'm already dreading packing everything up and yesterday I got a notice in the mail saying I have to report for jury duty the week we're moving. I'm all about doing my civic duty but it's the worst week because we're moving and it's the same week as Thanksgiving. Matt told me I should tell them I'm prejudice and bipolar.

SOLD!

No, this is not our house. If it was, we wouldn't be selling it.

But we did sell our house today! I guess we haven't officially sold it yet, but we accepted an offer and it's all in the works.

I put a "For Sale" sign up in our yard last Monday and the next day we got a call from a Buyer's Agent saying he had a client who wanted to see our house, how lucky is that?! It's nice because we don't have to pay a realtor on our end, we just have to pay 2% to the Buyer's Agent.

We aren't making much of a gain, but we're just happy to be making any gain at all when the housing market is so bad. We have to be out by the 25th of this month so we're going to have to scramble to find a place in Logan. I'm thinking we'll just rent until the holidays are over and then get serious about buying or building a house. If anyone knows of any good places to rent in Logan let me know. Val, are you out there? If you know the name of the place you guys used to rent (not the most recent, the one before that) let me know, I always thought your place was nice.

Halloween

I know I'm a little late but I thought I should post some pictures from Halloween. Spencer was a hot dog. (Or a "hot gog" according to my niece Marin, she's been telling everyone for weeks, "baby Spencer's gon' be a hot gog!")

We went to Cara and Mitch's for a little Halloween party. We ate dinner and then took the kids trick-or-treating. My niece Marin is at the perfect age for trick or treating, after one house she said to me, "Avree, people just keep giving me candy!"

Gosh how precious, my husband pretending to eat my baby.

Spencer kept patting Marin's back and grabbing her arm so she was trying to scoot away from him.

This is Spencer and Marin with Scotty and new baby girl Allie. We're hoping that Spencer will grow up and marry Allie someday.

Well Spencer seemed to enjoy his first Halloween. However, as you can see, it wore him right out!

News...

We have some exciting news...we're going to move back to Logan! Matt accepted a job at a CPA firm up there and he's going to start sometime in December. We've made so many great friends here in Washington Terrace that I'll be sad to leave; but I'm really excited because my sister, her husband, and cute little girl live in Cache Valley. We're also trying to talk my parents into retiring up there in a few years. Now comes the fun task of trying to sell our house...during the holidays...during a recession...can't wait! So if you know of anyone looking for a house in Washington Terrace (South Ogden area) send them our way!


Other news: Spencer had his 6 month checkup today. He's 18 and 1/2 pounds and 28 inches long which puts him at the 90th %ile for weight and height. I guess he's proportionate. Well, actually his head is at the 70th %ile so he's kind of a pin-head.
