Yes, we sold our house! After multiple offers and 1 failed contract, we were lucky (blessed) to sell our house in the "wrong" time of year and in a "bad" market. We are very appreciative of all our family members letting us use their furniture, duvet covers and artwork to stage the house. We are grateful for the MLS and the family that bought the house. 

Our first house has now come and gone. We learned alot about eachother and being "grown-ups" in that house, as well as house projects. Bart touched every single wall, floor, ceiling and inch of dirt in the yard, not to mention the roof and driveway.  I'll never forget the image of Bart pulling rock boulders across the grass on a "sled" with Shaun. Poor Shaun, he got drug into many house projects because he's young, single, and can't say no, it's suprising he is still our friend :)

We are currently living at Bart's parents, my parents and getting our apartment in Provo ready. We hope to be in Provo for the next 2 semesters while I finish my FNP program and then we will see where life takes us. Hooray!

AMAZING RACE

For those of you that don't know me, I LOVE, love, LOVE, Love, LOOOOVE the Amazing Race.  I think it is the greatest show ever to be seen on television. The show is captivating-it makes me happy, sad, angry, nervous (nervous enough to bite my nails) and excited.  Thus far I have never cried over the Amazing Race though.  The Amazing Race is a reality show, where you watch 11 teams of 2, race around the world, doing different challenges. Each week the last team is eliminated until only 3 teams are left to race against each other at the finale for the grand prize of 1,000,000 dollars.

Last night, after 17 "seasons" an all girl team won the million dollars-Nat & Kat, both anesthesiologists.  I personally wanted the second place team Brooke and Claire to win because they had more spunk and personality but I am glad the doctors won anyways.

There is a new Amazing Race starting February 20, 2011 titled "Unfinished Business" meaning they are having previous contestants (who didn't win) come back and race again.  My favorites to win are the cowboys.  They are funny and kind, plus they say stuff like a "deetur" instead of detour and "oh my gravy".

I started watching Amazing Race in 2004, when season 5 was airing and since then I have been obsessed. Every Sunday night I watch Amazing Race with my family...or sometimes without them, either way I am eagerly sitting on the couch waiting for the next episode.  I would love to be a contestant/team on Amazing Race because I think that Bart can do anything and I like to travel. BUT the jet lag would definitely catch up with me and I might turn into one of the mean contestants that no one likes...lack of sleep and food does that to me. Wouldn't it be terrible to be the first team to be eliminated? After you've made it through the application process just to get eliminated the next day...

My all time Amazing Race favorites are the Beauty Queens. Miss California and Miss New York, who met at Miss America. They Came in 4th place for Season 10 and then 2nd place the All Star season 11. I love them because they are strong team, all girl, talented and worked well together.

Am I crazy to like a TV show so much.?. Does anyone else love the Amazing Race and if not what shows do you like?

Terrible idea

I wanted to be festive and cute but it backfired and now I am grumpy.  Most people have a cute holiday background for their blog, so I tried to do the same thing. I found a background (not the one that is on the blog now) and I copied and pasted and read the directions.  Everything was fine until I wanted to change my font color to match...(shouldn't be hard I've done it before). My layout tab that is supposed to be somewhere on this blog is GONE. It's not by the design tab or the setting tab. I even clicked on the "help" button and read all the instructions. So now I can't change my font colors from red, black and blue which means that I have to find a background with those colors. BLAH.  I want new colors, what's the point of changing the background if you can't change colors?  If anyone knows how to fix my problem, please, please, please let me know. How bothersome.
