The last time I wrote was at the beginning of the year. Speaking about how wonderful 2012 was and wondering what 2013 has in store for Preston and I. Before I get into the wonderful changes, I first will catch up on everything that has happened so far for us this year.
I got a small part time job that I started in January teaching tumbling at a gym in South Jordan called Elite Academy. I absolutely love it!! It is such a fun place to work. The girls that I coach with are awesome! The girls that I teach are adorable (a lot of them are under the age of 10!)!! We have faithfully been working. Preston also got a new job working for a company called Biomet-West. In a nutshell, they deliver medical supplies for surgeries to hospitals along the Wasatch Front and sometimes up into Idaho.
We are both are faithfully going through school. Preston has it tough this semester taking 18 credit hours! I on the other hand have a much easier schedule and am only taking 3 credit hours. We both are ready to be done with this semester. It's been hard because most nights we aren't home until 9 or later. We are both planning on taking Summer Semester. Preston is planning on taking 12 hours and I will be taking a Chemistry class-so not excited for that!
In March, I had the opportunity to go to California with the cheerleaders again for USA Cheer Nationals. This year Preston was unable to come, but I still had so much fun! We left in the very early morning on a Friday. When we arrived in Cali, we went to the Anaheim Convention Center to do a quick warm up. While there we learned that they had over booked the convention center and so we had to warm up outside. This made it very rough! We went from cold, cloudy weather to very sunny and hot weather-78 was hot to me. We competed Saturday and they did AMAZING!! We ended up with 6th place and a trophy. We were 1 spot away from getting to compete in Finals, but I was so proud of them! So because we didn't make finals that meant DISNEYLAND!!! I had so much fun! I love Disneyland more than most little kids. :) By the end of the trip I was ready to come home to be with Preston.
We just celebrated my birthday and it was such a great birthday!! We went to dinner Saturday night because I work Monday nights teaching tumbling. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Downtown Salt Lake. It was amazing!! Probably one of the best meals I've ever had! Preston continued to spoil me and got me some cute clothes.
So now time for the big news, the biggest surprise and something that we look forward to.
We are going to be Home Owners come the end of the month!! We are so excited and can't wait to have a place to call our own! We are moving to Magna and will be right down the street from two of our uncles and aunts. The events that led up to this is happening were just perfect timing.
It started that one of our friends that owns a townhouse knew of one by them that was up for rent. Wee went and looked at it. We did some calculating and figured that we could afford it. Then we got to talking and we weren't sure if we really wanted to rent still or not. We then spoke with someone that we know that does loans and is a real estate agent. He told us that we could buy a house for the same price that we would be renting the townhouse. We started looking at homes and after looking and putting in offers. The first house we put the offer on they accepted someone else's offer. We then continued to look. The house that we found was perfect for us. It even has a "U" in the hardwood flooring! We put the offer in and the next day we were under contract!
We close on April 30 and get to move in May 4! We can hardly way, the only thing that we need to figure out what to do with some much space!!
