Our house...

It's official!  We are selling our house, and moving far far away to...Lehi again.  I have mixed feelings about moving.  Some have asked me why we're making the switch, and here are my reasons:

• I hate the neighborhood.  Not the NEIGHBORS, mind you, but the unfinished, full of weeds, nasty entrance, no lots on two sides of us neighborhood.
• I hate the mink farm/cows/skunks/lake effects smell.  Sometimes they all combine to create a truly wonderful aroma.
• I can't stand the lake bugs.  Mayflies and mosquitoes everywhere in the summer.  Sometimes I spend 1/2 hour or more vacuuming all the bugs up inside after I've had my door open.
• Our house only has two bedrooms upstairs, and I'd eventually like to have some more children.  We have loved this house, but we are growing out of it.
• This house isn't a house I see us raising our whole family in.
• We have an amazing lot on Traverse Mountain, and a plan for a bit bigger home.  Also, we will be one of the last houses finished in the neighborhood.

So there you have it.  We adore our ward and (most of) our neighbors, so it does make us sad to leave.  We also LOVE our house.  This house was the first house I've lived in since my early childhood, and I was spoiled because since my husband and father-in-law built it, we got to pick everything in it.  It has been a great house to us, and it's full of wonderful memories.  Here are a few pics to send us off:

 My camera has some "quirks," so the picture quality isn't the best, but you get the idea.  We have a lot of fun new changes planned for the new house, and we are hoping to have it finished by September.  Until then, we will be living in a town home in Draper, and playing at the pool every day!
