Finally

Wow!What a long month!!! I finally feel like I have enough info. to give an update. Steve started his new job on Jan. 4th. We ended up calling our new bishop and he hooked Steve up with a couple that has been renting a room to him until we get into our new house. So Steve stays down there during the week and comes home on the weekend. The first week was a little rought Paityn spent most of the week crying. I think she had some gas issues but seems to be doing much better. I will be the first to tell you I did not sign up to be a single parent. I need the extra help it just makes life a little easier. This last week was nice cause Steve had Monday off as well so we got to have him for an extra day which will make for a short week this week as well which is nice. We have been trying to get some final dates for three weeks now I think. Our first lender seemed to really be dragging their feet so a couple weeks ago we changed lenders and so we were still waiting for all the new paper work to go through and to get a date. We tried to keep in touch with our real estate agent and he would just be really vague about dates. I think I got asked daily what are plans are and when are we moving and stuff like that and it got kind of old saying "I still dont' know for sure". Thankfully after Steve and I had a couple of fights over the issue (me wanting a firm date)(Steve not wanting to be a pest) Steve sent an email to the agent basically saying today or tomorrow is it we have to have some dates. Wouldn't you know about an hour after the email was sent the agent responded with a closing date of Jan. 29th and we get the keys on Feb. 1st. YEAH!!! We are so excited for our new adventure. Steve seems to really be liking his job and the couple Steve is staying with have lots of good things to say about the neighborhood and the ward. So we finally have a firm moving day. WOOO HOOO!!! We will be moving the first weekend in February. We are looking forward to all of our friends and family coming for a visit. Give us a call we would love to have anyone who wants to come and visit. .................. Funny side note.......... it seems like everyone around there is named "Mitch" Steve now knows three new "Mitch's" he works with one, is staying with one, and our lender agent is one!!!!!
