Well frick
Aren't there times when you just don't feel like blogging? Well...that's been me the past couple weeks, and to tell you the truth I sure as heck still don't. But the people-pleaser in me must. I have no pictures, nothing fun to share from the past little bit, but I'll fill you in with what I know. The funny thing is that there is actually a lot going in our lives right now...here's what I know....
There has been a little change of plans with our move. Dave was called in at work last work and it turns out SLC needs him bad this dreaded tax season....and OC, not so much. So for the love of Grant Thornton (and saving a bunch of money) we are moving up to Utah at the end of this month. To say the least, I'm a bit stressed...just me though....Dave of course isn't, stress isn't an emotion his body feels. So anyway, there is another reason why is makes sense to move up earlier....
We bought a house! I know what you're thinking, and I totally agree...I also think we are still children and don't know how to own a home. But what the hey....if our mortgage will be the same as the junky two bedroom apartment down the street, why not? We are totally pumped. Two reasons in particular: doing laundry without having to run to the grocery store 5 minutes before to beg the clerk for some quarters. And also for having a vertical blind-free home...with curtains. Truly a dream come true. Anyway, we discovered our little dream community in South Jordan a while ago and fell in love. It's called Daybreak....or as we like to call it...our little Newport Beach in Utah. We were sold on the parks, swimming pools, tennis courts, lake....pretty much everything we love about this place....including the non-existent yards. So here we are now, almost home owners (we close at the end of the month) and pretty excited for our adventure. We have lived our dream life here and it's been the greatest 3 1/2 years of our lives. We've met some of the greatest people we know here, and who knows, maybe one day we can scrounge up a few million dollars and move back into a dumpy little fixer-upper.
Well dang it...sorry to all of you who are like me and despise reading...this is a ridiculously long post. I will try to keep them short and sweet in the future. And being the nerd I am, I can't post without a picture. Here's the little love of our lives...

Well Frick, Stace! Hooray! It will be so fun to have you here. And high five for choosing South Jordan. I'm so fetching excited to have you down the street.
P.S. Have you finished the twilight series? I want to get your opinion on it because I think my opinion is defferent than everyone else's...
How exciting Stacie! Jason and I have thought about Day Break once we return to Utah!! There is no better place in Utah than So Jo!!!!
Oh my gosh! We're going to be neighbors! What side of the lake are you guys on??
Stacie! Your new house sounds amazing!! (I hear you on the desire for no vertical blinds. So help me, some day I will have curtains . . .) We are going to miss you, but I'm so excited for you! You get to have a house, be close to family, and enjoy the Utah seasons . . . Please let me know if you need any help packing or with anything else!
P.S. You are an AMAZING photographer.
P.P.S. I just finished New Moon, and I'm buying Eclipse tomorrow.
I'm excited you're moving back to Utah, perhaps we can get together and hang out sometime. Daybreak is a beautiful community, I'm sure you'll love it there.
hey yor pics always look so good what kind of camra do ou use? Congrats on the house! you are my favorite cuz! Don't tell brette
awesome about your house! it's so exciting to own your OWN house! i'm stressed for you just thinking about all the packing that needs to be done! but it's so worth it. hope you have your parka's and fleeces ready, because utah is soooooo cold right now!!
That is so exciting for you guys!! Homeowners?! I am so jealous right now (we still have a few years before that one), and I'm jealous you'll be so close to Brad and Melissa, she is the greatest addition to the family!!!! Really, I love her to death, and now you guys will get to actually see them and hang out with them. But, I am extremely happy for you guys...congrats!!
Well congrats on your latest purchase! That really is so awesome! I envy you! Really, that is so great- nothing better than earning equity from the home your living in than just throwing it away to rent right? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I really do think that is so awesome. Oh, and p.s. I know how you feel about moving- Ryan and I have moved 4 times since we've been married. So, I really do feel your pain. Good Luck!
oh man, I am so excited for you , I heard you found one in Daybreak, and I couldnt be more excited for you, I am just excited to see your new diggs. WOW! If there is anything I can do to help when you get here, let me know...I would love to get out of the house and help you unpack or do whatever...which I am sure your mom will pop over and do! I am sorry that you are stressed, but I totally agree...I think it is a man thing, I think the women are the ones supposed to stress, and the men are the ones who can just not stress....that sounded dumb! I am so excited for you guys to move here! WOW! Have fun, and when Dave is working late rediculous hours this tax season....you could give me a call or something....we need to get Cooper and Scoty together!!! They will have fun together!! Talk atcha later sista!
Hey, let's hang out like everyday until you move....D-Land...Thursday...it's a date!
Yes!!! I'm glad you are moving in time to play a little before we move. I'm so happy for you guys. You're going to love it. I think Day Break would be an awesome place to live. Now you've got to come out and visit us in California.
Erin, i'm still pissed that you get to move somewhere awesome like No Cal... sorry just read her comment, back to Stacie. Wow, that came really fast. You will totally love Day break. But I can understand some of your worry, its just something about living away. You guys will have tons of fun with the grandparents close by and your friends. Good luck with everything!
Dave I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say hello. I know it has been a long time. That is awesome that you are coming back to Utah. You will love Daybreak. Anyway send me an email and let me know what you are up to. Kevin Allen - kevinallen44@gmail.com
That is SO exciting! I LOVE Daybreak! Lucky!
Oh Stacie! I cannot wait for you to live here! I can't believe how fast that happened. My dad keeps me updated since he is your realator, love that. I promise I want to play every day, I am such a loser these days. As excited I am about you moving here, I was a little disappointed that our Disneyland plan didn't work out. jokes! I really just can't wait for you to be here! Good luck with the move, its always a pain, so if you need help honestly let me know.
Stace--- no news yet how bout your project?
I cant believe you guys are moving. I am so excited that you guys bought a house there though thats totally exciting! I hope all goes well, Call me if you need any help. I can't lift much but I can be there for moral support and to play with cooper! Give me a call seriously, I totally have the day off tomorrow if you need anything!
Hey, I'm so excited you're coming! What can I do to help?? Seriously, I'll help with anything.
I tagged you, sorry....Don't worry about it, your off the hook, I just felt like I had to tag someone.
WE WILL MISS YOU!!!! At least you're moving to a place that we frequently visit. Stay in touch and come visit whenever!
Hi! I just stumbled upon your blog. We moved from L.A. to Daybreak in 2006 and we love it. Don't get me wrong, we miss the beach, and the diversity, and the shopping... But it is a great neighborhood.
Welcome!
Hey I just found your blog, i dont blame you I would want to stay in Newport beach, the winters here are too dang cold. But that will be nice to be by your fam.
Excellent lighting on that pic, Steez. It looks great.
oh my gosh! I am so happy for you guys! I am so sorry that it is a summer babe though, that is gonna be killer for the heat...good thing for A/C though. I love that we just switched off...Cooper was a June baby right? And Scoty was an October baby, so now we are kinda flip flopped, I am due in May, you are due in Sept, I just love that we have good timing, and also Tracie, that is too funny, Summer and Scoty are only a couple of weeks apart...too funny! Anyways, we totally need to get together...I am sorry that you were sick, was it as bad as with Cooper? I just remember you were almost dead with him! But yes, please call me, or email me your # and we will get together....I am so going crazy being cooped up in the house...I just want it to be a LITTLE nicer outside! How is the house? You guys are moved in right? I hope all is going well!! Talk to you soon....oh...and you should post something...hehe
