Movers and Shakers (AGAIN!)

So, we've moved.  Yet again.  We might actually stay at this location longer than a year!  Yipee!

We now live in Utah.  Something that I told Stephen I would NEVER do.  I also made him promise I would continue with my degree before we started a family.  That didn't happen either.  I also said I would NEVER get married at 18 because only stupid girls did that.  Oops.  I also said I would NEVER attend ASU and yet it was the only school I applied to.  Apparently whenever I say I will NEVER do something that just means I WILL actually do it. 

I will NEVER be a billionaire.

Hey, a girl can hope, right?!

One day I will get around to posting pictures, but the house we will be moving into isn't finished yet.  Stephen has been diligently working on that while I have been working.  The house has gone through quite the transformation; but not without it's ups and downs (haha.  that is such an understatement!)

Now I bet you want to know where I'm working?!  Or that's probably too narcissistic of me.  You probably didn't even notice.  But I'll tell you anyway.  Cause I'm nice like that. 

I work at Hobby Lobby. Yup.  It's awesome.  I work in the custom framing department and truthfully?  So far I love it.  I had to take a math test and I did awesomely well.  They were all surprised with how quickly and accurately I finished.  Then they read that almost all my former jobs were as math tutors.  While they were checking my answers I made a math joke with them that I am sure went over their heads. 

I can totally tell that I work in Utah.  For the background music, they play LDS hymns about half of the time.  And in just one day of working I heard multiple conversations that were Mormon-related.

"Bishop!  What are you doing here?"

"Mom, I don't care what ward he's moving into, I don't want to date him!"

haha.  I love it. 

So while Stephen finishes the house, we've been living with his family.  It's been awesome!  I love making dinner with other people.  And we've been able to have game night almost every night.  IV LOVES his cousin Zinnidee.  He calls her Zinni and it's about the cutest thing ever.  (pronounced Zin-knee! with an emphasis on the knee).  She's not yet one and IV adores her.  He gives her multiple hugs a day which almost always involves her falling over afterwards.  And when he hears her on the monitor he gets really upset until we go and get her.  They love to play "Ditch"  or where Zinni will come to get him and he will run away giggling.  Then she'll play with something else and he'll call her name until she crawls after him again.  Adorable.

oh yeah.  The house will are moving into is in SLC.  Sugar House to be exact.  I am soo stoked!  I have ALWAYS wanted to live in that neighborhood!  Sweet!  One day I'll post pictures, but not today because I left work early cause I am sick.  Running to the bathroom every 10 minutes isn't my idea of a fun day a work.  TMI?  Maybe.  Cause I'm nice like that.

haha! You crack me up. I can't wait to see pictures... if not of the house than of the little man! He's so dang cute.

I, too, swear I will never live in Utah... but half of Joseph's family lives there and I think he's secretly got the itch to go to BYU for law school... we shall see how that goes.

Awesome! I could never work at Hobby Lobby because I would spend my entire paycheck there. I also said I would never live in Utah and we ended up in North Dakota. I'd rather have Utah now. Can't wait to see pictures!
