The 2nd house deal in a month fell thru yesterday. We found and offered our money and heart for this tiny, little, bank-owned house a couple weeks ago. (For those of you following this saga, and I know there are so many: the 1st big, bank-owned house did not come with water shares- so we walked.) What was even cuter than the front corner window was the price. The bank selling this house called yesterday to let us know that their Quality Control Division would need 1 to 4 weeks to "assign an underwriter and review the offer." We replied it would take our Quality Control Division approximately 1 to 4 minutes to respond with "you can take your house and shove it." Like the bank who has no sympathy for us, the family trying to live together in the same state, under the same roof, who needs a quick closing date and who would gladly rid them of the bad debt they had acquired.....we are having a hard time mustering up any sympathy for them, their divisions, procedures, and protocols.
Moving on.
Ezra has been puking since last Friday.
Jace has been on the same job for 2 days.
The temperature has not risen above 20 degrees. It was something like -14 degrees when we arrived. 8 inches of snow cover the ground. My "fashion" boots from Arizona are quickly going to be replaced with water proof boots. Any suggestions?
Moving on.
Macy has discovered she does enjoy living with dogs (Porcha and Chang)and would like our Girl to move into the house with us, so that she can take her on "walks" every 4 hours. Sounds fun to me.
Cam Mosley is Noah's new found best friend.
Cramped as the living quarters may be, it is nice to have the Mosleys from Taylor here with us.
The Kelly's from our Snowflake ward arrived on Saturday. It will be so fun to see them and have their girls over to babysit just like at home.
Moving on.
I am so glad to be with Jace. Even if it is only when I sleep by him at night.
Jace likes his new job. I am grateful. We can almost see the light. We are almost done chasing checks and jobs.
Mike Mosley set me up with Skype. Family and friends, what is your Skype name? And don't give me email addresses (that didn't work, Kirsten). I need your Skype account name.
Now if you'll all excuse me, I have another appointment with my realtor. Maybe today will be the day someone in Utah will get serious about selling their house. The one with a For Sale sign in front of it.
I'll be seeing you. Some of you thru my web cam and some of you back in lovely Arizona.

Well I am glad to "read" that you are with Jace for the time being. I really hope that you can get a house..dang it. Well I hoesntly wished that Jace would hate his job and you would all stay here, but I am really happy that so far everything is working out. I will pray that you get a house soon! Good Luck.
Im not quite sure what a skypes account is im thinking most likely I dont have one. Im real sorry about the house. Im sure it will work out. Girl will love it up there. You should take her just for Ezras sake:) Whats the deal with him? Did you take him to the dr? Poor guy. Im so glad that Jace likes his job. I saw Bro. Hofeling on Sunday and he asked about you. I told him you went to Vernal and he was like, "Oh ya? I lived there for four years. Thats where we were before here. I loved it up there. Do you know where she lives?" He then continued to try and tell me where he used to live and about some people but Im sorry I cant remember. I sure love that guy dont you? I wish he would come back and teach adult seminary:)
You made it! Glad Jace likes his job, and glad you get to be with him again. I hope someone decides to take your money for a house soon! How NICE to already have babysitters you know--and the Kelly's have some of the best girls for the job! Good luck with everything!
Bummer that is a cute little place! Good luck with finding something.
No skypes account here. We use windows live messenger. Could you get that account? Well I'm glad you can move on. I'm sure you've already found something else. Hang in there. This should all be over soon. Call me when you get home? Or when somthing changes? I'll be thinking about you folks. Have a wonderful night and here's to a new year, huh? Who knows what it will bring for you...

Hi Linds. Skypes is what people who talk to Oprah live on her show use. Sorry no such luck here. Im sure there is a way you can get with us on MSN. Like an account. We'll give you some time. Good Luck!
Hey Lindsey,

Hey Lins. Well I am glad to see you are finally with your guy. Sorry bout the house situation. Surely something will happen soon. Hey do you like your mac? We love skype. That is a great way of staying in touch for the kids. WE use it with Josh and Cori every once in a while. The kids love it. Well good luck.
Hang in there Lyndsey. I'm sure you'll find a house soon. I know, easy for me to say, but I'm really praying for you! Everything will work out, just keep posting so we can continue this adventure with you. It's oh so delightful!
