The month of April started with a great family vacation to Utah where we visited with lots of family and friends. The biggest reason for going was my friend Bridget's wedding on April 11. It was an awesome time with her and Jake. They were married in the Draper, UT Temple. After their sealing we did a session and then we were asked to do some sealings. It was wonderful to be in the Temple for half the day! We enjoyed a break from the kiddos, thanks to Kyrk and Emma. It's amazing what a 24 hour break will do for a marriage relationship. It's so fun to have uninterrupted conversations!
The kids did some fun Easter things with their cousins while we were at the wedding. We spent most of the Easter Day driving home. We made it to Great Falls that night. We had our Easter dinner at IHOP, a favorite of mine. I missed my ham and potatoes but yummy breakfast was a nice alternative.
While we were gone, we sold our townhouse. The timing was perfect. It could not have worked out better. We just bought a home in Beaumont, AB, just 10 minutes south of Edmonton. I had no idea the buying of a home was so much work. We made three different offers on three different homes. The first two were beat out by higher offers and the third one worked out with some negotiation. So, you ask, is the market slow? Not really. It's picked up this spring. The lower priced properties are going quick.
I'll attach some pictures, if and when I remember. I didn't take too many while we were gone.
And...we're expecting child #4 in November. Talk about a crazy life. I think I'll survive it.
6 of us!
