Our move

So we did it. We moved to Heber City, Utah. It has been the longest, craziest, roller coaster ride experience we've ever had with selling/buying a home. There were times where I literally could have pulled my hair out and screamed at the top of my lungs because I was so frustrated. But thankfully in the end it all worked out.

Let's start at the beginning, shall we? We've been throwing around the idea of moving to Heber for about a year now. Just talking about it, not seriously...until this past spring. One weekend we were bored and decided to just "look" at houses in Heber. Well after looking we found some we were interested in. We ended up putting an offer on a home in Heber when I was 9 months pregnant. We were crazy. Then when I was 38 weeks along we put our home up for sale. Yes, I was super pregnant. Cleaning and prepping our house to look presentable for showings was pretty terrible. About 2 weeks after Lincoln was born we were under contract. We actually had showings 2 days after we got home from the hospital, it was awful. We ended up getting 4 offers before we accepting our buyer but for different reasons, they fell through.

We knew the process would take a bit longer because the house we were buying was new construction and we decided we wanted them to just finish the basement so we didn't have to do it later on and they could match the upstairs of the home. Well the buyers of our Fruit Heights home were doing a VA Loan which is trickier and harder to get approved for that they ended up delaying the process by months. We had so many set backs it would take me forever to list them all. Let me just say it was ridiculous how many problems we ran into. After all the craziness we finally had a closing date. Benton and I packed our trailer up and drove it to our new home to sit for the night till we closed on our new home. But on the way back to our Fruit Heights home, there was another set back. We ended up living out of our packed house for almost 3 weeks. Our couches were in the garage because we had gotten our carpets cleaned thinking we were moving the next day. The girls slept on their mattresses in Lincoln's room. It was a mess. Thankfully the girls didn't care, I did but they didn't.

Honestly if you had asked me if I was moving or what was happening with our move my answer would have been different every day because it was so back and forth the whole time. I'm actually surprised it ended up working out because last week I thought it wasn't going to work out. It was total chaos. We actually moved into our new home before knowing when the buyers of our home were actually going to close, it was scary but we had to because of our schedules.

Thankfully it all worked out. We moved into our new place last Tuesday, July 28th. I finally have my upstairs unpacked...now onto my boxes in the basement. I think we are going to love it up here in Heber. It's absolutely breathtaking. And so far the kids love it. I keep asking Cambree if she misses our old home and she replies "nope, I love my new house." They love being in the mountains.

We're thrilled to be living like normal people and not out of boxes. Now we can enjoy the rest of our summer!
