Well, Nate and Amanda bought a house in July. Joel got married in August. We could no longer stay in this huge house with just me and Dave. After all this time we are actually empty nesters! we have been house hunting but nothing has come up yet that we can afford or that we like (meaning it would take a lot of fixing up work!). Some very sweet people in our ward offered to let us live in their basement apartment while we house hunt. They only use it for family (thank goodness we are 9th cousins once removed!) and if their family should need it for some reason, we would have to get out. But they didn't see that happening. We told them it could take 6 months! They offered us rent of 500 dollars, but that felt way too cheap to us so we paid them 700, which was still such a bargain for us! We packed up all our stuff and put it in a couple of storage units so we could move into the tiny apartment. Walter was always such a good helper, he loves to use the cob webber! And of course the wonderful men in our ward helped us move stuff to storage AND to our apartment, which thankfully is still in the same ward! We are here a bit longer! More book clubs - yay! The Hansens, Linda and Ted, gave us a wonderful loaf of garlic bread the day we moved in. The opened up and extra part of the room so we could store some things in there and have a little crafting space. Walter loves the new apartment. We feel very blessed to have a place to live while we house hunt! I hate house hunting. We laughed the very first night we sat at the table, just the two of us, and Dave asked me for something out of the fridge, and I just opened the fridge from my chair and grabbed it! It really is a small apartment!
