Whatever.

Well here we go again. After receiving some pressure from a few of you and my husband, here are some recent pictures. I just can't keep up with the whole blogging scene. I am close to admitting defeat. If you are looking for creative and entertaining blog entries, sorry you won't find them here. So there. Just get over it. I am blogging when ever I get the chance just so you can see our little girl grow up and see what else is going on (if I get around to blogging about it). I will not try to keep up with you practically professional bloggers out there. I will enjoy your blogs without comparing myself to you. Good. I'm glad that's out in the open.

Here's what has happened lately:
1. We sold our house!!!! (Knock on wood) We are scheduled to close on it on the 28th of this month. That is a huge relief. Thanks to my uncle Dave for all his help and time he put into it. We are moving the rest of our stuff out this weekend. If you are in Logan on Saturday morning we would appreciate any help. It will mostly be loading furniture and boxes into the moving truck. I will provide popcicles.
2. We had our preconstruction meeting on our house. This means we finalized all our colors, electrical, and structural changes to our house and now they will apply for the building permit. They say it will take about a month for the permit to be approved and four or five months for the house to be built. That puts us in around October or November. Yay. Thanks to Mom and Dad for letting us stay with them until then.
3. The bubs is so cute. She is learning lots more words and puts her finger to her lips and says "shhhhh" when her horsey is trying to sleep. She has a little bit of a lisp. So adorable.
4. Rik wanted me to note how manly he is. Very manly, babe. Trust me.
5. Jazz lost. Sad.
6. Archuleta vs. Cook tonight!

Here are some pictures.

St. George

So...it's been a while, I know. My sis is on my case about a new post so here is one. We just got back from a romantic getaway (without our little bubs) to St. George. We were celebrating our 5 year anniversary...wow I can't believe it has been that long. So we rented a little condo in Green Valley and had so much fun. We got to do lots of things we haven't done in a long time. We went swimming in the warm weather, played a round of golf, went to Zions National Park and went on a few hikes, ate sushi, attended the temple, went to the Brigham Young house, and went to two movies. As you can see we really packed it in. I would post some pictures of Zion's (that's the only thing we took pictures of) but I am too lazy to go out to the car and get our camera...so you will have to wait to see those pics.
Well for those of you who don't know, we have moved back to Salt Lake and are living in my parent's basement. We are still trying to get our house sold in Logan and are building a home in Lehi. If anyone wants to buy a house in Cache Valley talk to me, I got a good one. Here is what our new house will look like (except different colors, and stone instead of brick - I am very excited about that. I have always wanted stone.):
That is mostly what has been occupying my mind lately. I have been busy doing taxes and am glad I am finally done with those too. Rik is doing well at work and has begun trading our retirement accounts himself. Things are going very well there too. For those of you who don't know, he is in the "options" business. He works for an educational company that teaches how to invest using options in the stock market. It's pretty cool. So things are good here.
