what did you do this weekend?

...Well we moved my mother and step father for the most part. I cannot tell you what an awful job it was- and still is for them. With many many men, and helpers, (hired a moving company) sunday still had them with another 26ft moving truck filled to the rim and no place to put it once in SLC. There were still odds and ends to go back today from the old house and the new house was packed full. My mom and Layne are depressed and tired. Its a challenge to downsize to a 2500 sq ft house (with an unfinished basement to make it 3500 sq ft) from a fully finished 5000 st ft + plus house. I think the game plan is to rent a storage unit and move a bunch of stuff back out of the house and into the storage unit until the basement is finished. Honestly though - they have SO much stuff. TIME for a DI RUN! Im sooo sorry you guys...what an awful move for you! On the plus size while a lot smaller for them, its a beautful house and I think they will be very happy with it once everything is organized.
As for houses and updates, we are still a few weeks away from closing on our home. The problem is that this being our "3rd" choice house, we were the back up offer on our "1st" choice home and as of last week, we may have a chance of getting that one after all. Its the same floor plan as the one we have now, BUT we like the colors of the cabinets, and granite a bit more, AND THE BASEMENT IS FINISHED all for 5k LESS than the house we are currently under contract with. SOOOOO- if the other buyers fall through - we will start the closing process AGAIN and lose 2K on the current house. However everything has to be done within 2 weeks. SO we are waiting to find out if it happens or not. The only bummer thing is-both houses are next to eachother haha!
