We had a really good Christmas and I loved being with our family this year. Hopefully we can see the Northern Doyle people again real soon, and also Grandma and Scott. Happy holidays and a blessed New Year to everyone.

It's been a real good November and I'm looking forward to December being good too. Both Brady and I have gone through a small stretch of being sick but I think we're both mostly well now. We're enjoying our new place and hope to have a family get together to decorate gingerbread houses soon. I know I still haven't put pictures of the house up Shellie. I have no excuse and will keep trying to get it done. I wish all of you health and happiness. I love you all.

I know it has been like forever since I've updated. We've got mostly settled in now and we're looking to go to Salt Lake next week for 3-5 days. Other than that we mostly work, sleep, and just hang out at home. Boring I know :). Halloween was really fun and I'm excited for the other holidays this year. It's great to be home around family this year. I'm loving it.

We've got internet at our house finally and we also laid the backer board for the tile in the laundry room so things are finally starting to come along. I'm loving living here most of the time and am so glad we are on our own. Shellie as soon as I can get some photos taken with my digital camera I will post them.

We're closing on our house at 3 today and I couldn't be more excited. It'll be so nice to have our 1st home that me and Brady own instead of rent. I'm starting to feel the pressure but will be so glad when the keys are safely in our hands. We had such a nice mini vacation at my in-laws timeshare here in town and our now ready to get back to the real world (at least I hope). We love you all and hope you're doing well. I really like the new pictures Rachel. They're quite cute.

Our written contract is signed and delivered. Now we get to move on to signing our loan, doing our home inspections, and CLOSING!!!! I'm so so excited to think we'll be in our own place by the end of September if all continues to go well. Mom we love you too, you rock.

We put an offer in on a townhouse and it was accepted. I'm so happy now we just have to wait for our contract to be written up. This next month is going to be a whirlwind of adventure but when it's over we will be the proud new owners of our new home. Did I mention I'm excited!!!!! :)
