Homefull

Well, just as soon as you say one thing everything changes right!?

We may not be homeless for Halloween after all, in fact it looks like we'll be homeFULL!

We were going to wait until the end of November to close on the house for one reason only. We were hoping to get the tax credit. We sold our home in Blackfoot 3 years ago at the end of November, so we thought we had to wait 3 years from the time we OWNED ANY home. In talking with our loan officer I had a couple questions that came up as to whether we were even going to qualify for it at all or not.

As it turns out, we moved up here 3 years ago last week, so our home was NOT considered our PRINCIPAL residence during Oct & Nov of 2006, which is what they go by. So we moved everything up and we're hoping to close this week and be moved in early next week! Our loan officer called the IRS to double check everything, so it looks like we'll still qualify just fine, but they warned we'll probably have to send in some kind of proof. YAY!

We're busy getting things packed up and headed for the door!

Nikkya had a fun birthday! She came crawling into my bed about 5am sunday morning and whispered, "Am I 3 now?" It was the cutest thing ever! She wanted to open presents so bad! I don't think she even cared what was in them, she just wanted to OPEN OPEN OPEN! We got her a princess kitchen set! She loves it, we've been eating lots of pretend food so far this week! We also got her a diaper bag full of stuff for all her babies, Hannah Montana stuff for her new bedroom, a couple outfits, and a few other little things. Hannah Montana was the theme of the day! Her grandparents all came over, and she got to see most of her aunts and uncles too! We had a little BBQ at our apartment amidst all our boxes and moving mess! Grandma Stander got her the Snow White movie on Blu Ray! We all love it!

Kudos to Walmart in Ammon who made the cake and managed to turn her name into Kikkya! :)That's officially the silliest version we've seen of her name yet! Of course I didn't even notice until it was time to light the candle!

At the end of the day I was cleaning up and turned around to find this!

Next time I post I fully plan on being a homeowner in our cute little new home! :)
