Specs...

Ok so since you all have seen Cory's LOVELY home tour here are the details.
The house has:
2,120 sq feet
4 Bedrooms (Cory totally skipped one and it had teddy bears on the wall!)
1 Office/Den
3 Full baths

So there is lots of room to come stay with us, the 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom are right at the front of the house so it is private for the mom's and dad's and the kids can stay in the office that is next to that or in the bedrooms back by us. We are really excited and can't wait to move in. We are hoping to close and move in by the end of April, right before it gets really hot. We are in a community that has HOA's that include a really nice community pool, a gym and even tennis courts. They offer lessons and training in multiple sports and personal training. We cannot wait and I hope to see all you peeps coming down here to see us. next time we go up I will try and take some better pictures.

Pics and Video Tour of the New House

Here's the new place hopefully only another month in our apartment before we move up to Anthem.

Oh what happens in a year...

Dreams come true. A year ago this week Cory and I were visiting Phoenix, looking at neighborhoods and wishing we could move here. When we landed literally I turned on my phone and it rang. I answered and it was American Express offering me a job in SLC. Great way to start off the week. We then got to the car rental desk and they gave us an UPGRADE to a Cadillac CTS, SWEET. It was a wonderful 85 the entire time and then we went home, went back to reality. I got to leave my old job, telling one of your best friends, who is your boss, that you are quitting was hard, but fun at the same time. I started with American Express within a few weeks. During the same few weeks we were lucky enough to sell our house. We decided to be apartment people for a while and live closer to work. We got to our 5th year anniversary in Orlando. We didn't do much more and then in December Cory was goofing around looking at jobs in Phoenix, the snow gave us the itch every time. He found a posting at American Express in Phoenix and I told him what could it hurt... Well 3 interviews and a delayed flight back from a 4th (snow again) later he had an offer, more than we needed to justify the move, it was bliss. Cory was starting the beginning of February and I still had to find a position to transfer into to. Thinking we would be apart for a few months we had a plan, a sad sad plan, we had never even been apart for more than 3 days in the over 5 years we were married. Well just my luck I applied for a job and got it, starting the same day as Cory, which happened to be in a week and a half, well we changed our plans and thankfully Cory's parents helped us out so we didn't have to get a Uhaul and 2 cars down here. Well here we are a year after the dream started and it is a reality. Things are good. Now we just need a house, offer is in will hear back by the 30th. Hopefully we will be posting pictures soon. Livin the Dream and never giving up.

Camera is MIA

So we are in Arizona and I can't find my camera, i am sure it is packed in a box somewhere! I am excited to say we started looking at houses and we actually put in an offer today. I can't wait to hear back but there are PLENTY of houses we LOVED so if anything happens there are always backups. I will post a link to it when we hear more. Also my sister in law Val should be going into labor any day/minute now and I am excited to have another Niece. but once we get the house we will have a place for them to sleep when they come visit. Not a whole lot is going on, Cory and I both love our jobs and the weather is AMAZING, it was 85 today and is supposed to be 90 tomorrow. I can't wait to be tan and looking good. Cory and I are about to start another weight loss/maintenance binge on Monday so we will keep updating you peeps on that. It is hard living in an apartment when most of your stuff is packed up, I keep trying to cook and have to go find something in a box somewhere. I will try to be better with update, but hopefully with the house shopping underway I will have more news.

Two more days of SNOW!

So I just wanted to let everyone know who doesn't already that I am moving to Arizona in TWO DAYS! We are packing up the uhaul tomorrow and heading out on Friday Jan 30th. We are almost all packed up and I can't believe it is really happening, Cory and I are very excited and know this is the best move for us. To all our friends and family in Utah we will miss you and thank you for everything that you have done for us. Everyone everywhere else across the country thank you as well and now you all have a nice warm place to visit. I will update again when we get our Internet set up and have more information about the warm weather.

New years eve...

So Cory and I didn't do Christmas this year to help save up for new things in the new house in Phoenix. We don't really want to move anything so if anyone is interested in buying any of our stuff please feel free, we do not however have a delivery service so you have to truck your way down our way. HAHA. Anyway for our Christmas present from Cory's parents they wanted a break so they rented a condo in St George and all of Cory's family is staying down here. Everything is going great we are all having fun with a few small exceptions of Gracie waking us up at 6 AM after playing Settlers of Catan until about 2AM and a few other choice cranky moments, some by Gracie, some not. All in all we are halfway through and here are some fun Pictures and videos if I can figure out how to put a video on here.


Here is Gracie in my sweatshirt, she looks like Yoda, we will need to have Bridget do this some day too.

Here is Aunt Jemima Gracie!

Lots of Livin and a Lazy Liz

SO again I didn't post like forever so here is some catch up..... The U of U finally against Stinky BYU, umm yeah BYU got blown OUT!!! it was a great game and excellent weather we get season tickets every year and this year we didn't have one game with snow WOO HOO. Here are those pictures. I am half a Utes fan and half an Aggie's fan!

There also was Halloween, here is Cory's Costume, we forgot to take a picture of mine and then left the camera at home.

There also is some REALLY big news, Cory and I are moving to Phoenix! We will be leaving Utah within the next month and will both be working for American Express (as long as I can transfer!!) I am really happy and I feel that this is a good move for us, I will miss all my Utah friends but now maybe you can get a break from winter and come visit us!
