A year in review Fall 2013

Summer flew by with work, garden, yard projects, girls camp, Grandma's 90th birthday in St. George, and a visit to NY with Simon's family (including Mr. Chicken and the Glen weekend).

Unanticipated, we found a house we both liked--with property and few neighbors (for Simon), and close to town (for me). Amidst the process of deciding and then proceeding, we discovered I was expecting. This was a real challenge because I, who usually handle all financial aspects for our household, did not feel well enough to do much or think critically for an extended period of time. Simon got to call most of the shots and fortunately we had parents who helped review things with us.

We closed on the house October 30th and were grateful for the help of friends and ward members with the move and cleaning both houses.  We immediately had about a million house projects to get started and do and finished up in time for Christmas.
