We've moved!

Well, Tuesday October 21st was officially our last night in our old house. With the house completely empty except for Hazel's pack 'n' play, some clothes and leftover Chinese, we slept on our neighbor's mattress pad on the living room floor. It reminded me of how we entered that house, sleeping on the living room floor while we renovated the bedrooms. I'm so glad we're moving on!! Yeah!

We're currently staying at David's parents house in Ogden valley while we do some work on our new home. We learned our lesson about the headaches involved with "live-in" renovations, especially while I'm pregnant...not our thing. While there's plenty of things to do on this house to make it "ours," my favorite thing is that the plumbing, electrical, heating and air and anything else major is already in good shape and doesn't need any immediate attention. What a blessing that is to me!!

What we are doing before we move in is changing the hot pink and black tile in the bathroom (yuck!) There are five houses on our row that are all very similar and were built around the same time (40's). We just found out that each home had a unique color in the main bathroom upstairs--orange, pink (ours), green...all of which are pretty loud and obnoxious. So we're renovating the main bathroom as well as the master bedroom which had some wall paper we didn't love. The other two bedrooms are in good shape but just need new paint on the walls, so we're doing that part ourselves in the evenings. Hopefully in about two weeks, we'll move in!

I will send out pictures soon, I promise! We already miss our friends out in Sugar House so much; I'm sure we'll convince everyone to move out here to Ogden eventually.

love,
The Phipps
