Our New Home!!


Well, we made it. I Drove the 17' Uhaul and left a 4 a.m....getting me here at 4:00 Tuesday. 2 men from the ward helped me move everything in.....it was a LONG day. Bryce took his GRE test and scored 1100....anything over 1000 is pretty good. He took the car and after his test in Pocatello he drove the long drag through Wyoming and met me at our new place at 1:00 a.m....Wednesday. We're really happy here. We have an indoor and outdoor pool, a racquetball court, tennis court, sauna, jacuzzi...it's wonderful. Bryce started his new job at Colorado Golf Club on Thursday....he loves it. we went out for dinner with one of his co-workers (Brian) and his girlfriend (erica) and had a lot of fun. We're definitely not in Rexburg anymore. I've never heard anyone say swear words so much and so loud in my life.
So...story time.....on Thursday Bryce woke up at 6:00 so he could leave at 6:30 for his first day of work. It's about a 20 minute drive and he's supposed to be there by 7:00. So, after he says good bye and I hear the door close i dose back into sleep and all of a sudden he's back....the car won't start. This happened recently, but started after awhile, so we just kept trying. Eventually the engine wouldn't even turn over. So, we had a guy from the ward come and jump us, but still nothing. Right before we were going to get it towed, we called road side assistance from mercedes benz. You get it for free for the life of you car.....something that'll be great to know! A guy came (Juan) and was amazing. He gave us a battery.....normally they cost 140$ and taught us all sorts of cool tricks about our car that we didn't even know about. He was great. I was almost in tears. We were so nervous because moving isn't cheap and we didn't know how we were going to afford to get it fixed...but thankfully it was just the battery! now the crazy part....guess how much we paid in tithing last time????? $140...EXACTLY The same ammount a new battery is. It's amazing how God works. I love having testimony builders!!
Well I'm going job hunting today...wish me luck. And here is a video of our new home...we LOVE IT!!!!
