We finally have a place to call home when we move to NW Arkansas in a month and a half. Dean returned on Saturday with keys and the garage door opener, to our new home, in his possession. He had a good trip and surprisingly enough did not get writers cramp during the house signing process. Especially so, because he had power of attorney to sign for Edie, so he was doing double the work. He had a few days before coming back to Provo, to get some of the house things in order before we move there. One of the major things was replacing the carpet. A few hrs after the signing, he went to a carpet business, picked out a carpet (with Edie's help over the phone of course), and the very next day was lucky enough to have one installer available to install it. How convenient was that? We feel very blessed at our circumstances right now. We are getting really excited about our move and our new adventure coming up. Here are pictures of some of the insides and outsides of our Home Sweet Home!
Our Home!
The side view. This is the guest bedroom side
The garage and master bedroom side
Looking on the left side of the home
(we will never have neighbors to the left because of
a retention pond there)
Looking down the street on the right side of home
(Dean actually met three different families already.
They seem to be very friendly people.)

The kitchen with granite counter tops
The living room looking towards the front entry way
The living room with the new carpet being installed
A close up of the gas fireplace
A view of the backyard through the eat in kitchen
(There are no houses built behind us. It is a wide open field)
Our backyard, yes it needs a little TLC but we have to have some projects going on to make it feel like our home :)

During this past week Connor has been anxiously awaiting for the famous rite of passage a schoolager goes through. On Friday night he did not have to wait any longer. While he was eating his dinner, Connor announced, with his tooth in hand, that it came out! His nervousness about the whole process quickly melted away, as he gave that BIG holey smile, seeming to say "I am growing up, and loving it!"
