Jenn ame to visit

My sister Jenn came to visit for a few weeks and her cute boys. They have been living in Germany and now have been stationed at Ft. Carson, CO. Skyler’s famous saying, “wuz dat” he would say that every time he would hear something! So we heard it a lot! Ryker is so cute and cuddly! I am glad they had a nice visit and I was finally able to meet Ryker since he was born in Germany.

Imagine dragons

Well I knew that Imagine Dragons would be coming to the UCCU Center in Orem, UT sometime in May! Derrick would be gone that weekend and I desperately wanted to go!! I posted on Facebook to see if anyone wanted to go!! No takers…. Until Danielle Klienman (Sis. Sargent), a good friend of mine from the mission! I adore Danielle, I served around her a lot and she was so good to me! We both served our mission with Dan Reynolds. He was our Zone Leader and our Assistant to the President. He now is the lead singer for Imagine Dragons and has amazing talent! This was one awesome concert! 

I will add I was super scared because of the seating on risers and because people were jumping and they shouldn't have been... I was convinced that they were going to collapse! ANXIETY!!!! 

Put right to work!

We had so many friends and family that helped us move! So grateful for all their help! Once at my parents we were put right to work! We had a garden to get ready to plant, trees to chop down, friends to see, and of course my sweetheart took me to Taggarts up the canyon on a date!

OUr CRAZY unexpected MOVE!

Here is our crazy moving story! We were planning on staying in our apartment for at least 2 years. Our lease was going to be up in a few months and we were going to sign another year lease. My brother lived with us and we really could only afford the apartment we were in with his help. Sometime in February my brother let us know that he would no longer be staying with us. Blah! Now we were on the hunt to find a place to live! :( I jokingly said that whatever happened, we would not move in with our parents! Lol I mean we both have full-time jobs and have lived on our own for nearly 7 years and together 3! We tried to find a place to live in our ward but we lived in the only apartments in the boundaries! There were no homes for rent or sale in our whole ward boundary.

We decided to start looking north into Ogden because I worked in Mtn. Green and Derrick in Ogden! We drove the streets of Ogden at night and took down every number for apartments we could. As we called on the apartments somehow all of the apartments would be rented right before we would call. I am not even sure how this was possible, but I’m guessing we were every landlords good luck charm. I bet we called on near 50 apartments for rent. No fault of our own we could not find a place to live. As the month of April came and the 30^th of that month our lease would be up. Derrick told me he felt that we needed to move to Morgan. Ok!! I was down with that! Back to the hunt for apartments, but this time in Morgan county. We asked around and we were told that the Johanson apartments had 2 apartments available, when we called, nothing. A week later Derrick said, I feel we need to ask your family to live with them. At that point, I was up for anything! When we asked my parents, my dad said he figured we were going to ask! I am not sure if that was comforting or not! This would be a hard move! Everything of ours would have to go into storage, I mean EVERYTHING! We could take only some clothes and the most essential things! So we went from a 3 bedroom home/two car garage, to a 2 bedroom apartment/little storage closet, to a 12x10 bedroom with a storage shed! CRAZY where life takes you! Just hold on and you’ll be where you’re supposed to be!
