Not our lucky day...

Well sad news friends... we didn't get our internship. Well they picked us for Grand Cayman but then everything fell through due to some locals getting fired so we are sticking around provo this summer it looks like. We might potentially head to vegas or seattle if we can find jobs and free housing (very unlikely). However we were able to find housing here right when we needed it that starts April 28. We will be moving to the BYU married student housing and though it is not as nice ( sigh) and lacks a washer,dryer, and dishwasher ( double sigh) We will be saving a lot of money and hopefully have a fun ward and will make some good friends. It is so strange to be moving from the first home we have ever shared together... maybe I am strange but it was just the first place where we were a real family so I am quite sentimental and I just feel like crying whenever I think about it. I can't imagine coming home to anywhere else, this just really feels like home. This is where my cute hubby carried me over the threshold and we opened and found places for all our wedding presents.

This is where we tried to figure out decorating and having the things we needed. This is where I realized I HAD to wear my own clothes everyday. This is where we sat on camping chairs for two months since we had no couches and slept on an air mattress for a month since we had no bed. This is where we came home to the cute decorated car after our honeymoon that we never got at our wedding (that I desperately wanted... thanks janet for making my dreams come true :) )

#14 is where I tried out new HORRIBLE recipes in my little kitchen and played hostess for relatives that were in town. This is where we had our first fights about chores and we figured out what being married was actually like, this home is where I realized that jt always leaves his toothbrush NEXT to the sink... not in the drawer where it goes and that we realized we never get sick of professing our love for each other. I know we will have new memories in our next apartment but my newlywed memories will always be in 114W 400 N Apt. 14. So with all the anxiety and nervousness I am feeling I am excited for a fun trip home to WA on monday for a week! However that means I need to basically pack up my whole house by sunday. Not a fun chore.

I will miss you my little home sweet home....

how funny that we got married the same day and we didn't get our car decorated either, which i also wanted! although it was because jeff hid it cause he was scared of what my cousins/brothers would do... but still! anyway, we'll miss you guys!
