Enjoying our time in our city!

 This is how we adapt in our small place!


 At first we would get out everyday!  We went to this bounce world that had a bucking bronco!  Sarah and Jonathan loved it!

Figuring out where to stay!

Sunday we listened to conference and drove around town to see what we could see.  It was hard for me cause there wasn't alot of rentals out there and we didn't see anything good.  It was frustrating to me.  But, we did get a tip from a realtor that was having an open house.  So on Monday we went and saw a house that was for sell that maybe the seller would rent to us.  Well, it was a good place to rent.  We told the realtor that we wanted to rent.  Well, on Tuesday night we found out that it was too expensive to rent for us.  It was very frustrating we didn't know what to do cause there was no rentals in our price range.  There was a lot for sell but not for rent.  So on Tuesday Dave got a blessing from his Dad and we went out and looked around to see what we saw.  Well, we talked to a few Realtors to see if they could help us out.  So around lunch we decided to see what the houses looked like in our price range.  Well, we called one of the Realtors that was very helpful! So the first house we saw, I REALLY liked.  We saw others but I didn't like any of them.  We decided that we wanted to show our family the one we liked.  The next morning Dave went to work I went with my Mom to see other houses, but it just reconfirmed to me that the first one was the house we should buy!  Well, Wednesday night we put an offer on the house, and Thursday morning they accepted our offer.  So the next step was to find a place to stay till our house closed.  We stayed at the hotel till Saturday morning, and moved over to the value place in town for the best rate and option.  That afternoon we took Grammy and Papa to the airport (Grandpa left the night before), it was hard saying goodbye!  But we knew it was time for them to get back to there live!  We are soooo thankful for ALL there help.  That night we went to the Thomas house for dinner, it was so nice to be in there home!

 Jonathan and Sarah loved swimming at the hotel!

Heading to Minnesota (October 5th)

Dave and Jonathan left around 5:15 am to Kearney NE. Grammy, Papa, Sarah, Gordon, Henry and I headed out about an hour and half later in the van!  We met up that night at the hotel.  Jonathan started having a stomach flu, which was no fun.



 Jonathan stayed with us the second day, and Sarah went Daddy.  She was in Heaven!


 We had to take a picture in front of Mormon island!
We enjoyed breakfast together before we headed to Rochester, to our new home! Gordon was the next to get the stomach flu, which sure made for a fun adventure!

So on October 4th we packed up the truck! We are so thankful for all our friends and family that helped pack and clean.  We couldn't have done it with out you all!  That night we had a baby shower for Jessi and Carter, and saying goodbye to everyone! At times it was hard to say goodbye!  I really couldn't believe we were leaving and starting a new part of our lives.
