Welcome to our blog

Heather here, figured it was time to start a blog for Rob & I as to keep friends and family up on the goings on in our lives.

I currently have a couple of other blogs
The Thompson Zoo (for my fur kids)
Setareh Creations (for my businesses)
& No Time To Weight (self explanatory)

Feel free to browse them at your leisure! Rob & I just moved to Lehi, Utah (by Provo) actually are right down the street from Thanksgiving Point, a couple of weeks ago. We decided that we weren't going to pay $1700.00 for the house we were renting as we felt it was outrageous and the landlord is dreaming if she thinks she can get that much for a 3 bedroom 2 bath, one level unfinished basement in that area. Also considering that she wanted to jump our rent from $1390-$1700 immediately. She also wanted to sell us the house for $260,000 when houses in that area were going for $209,000, and not selling well due to an elementary school that was recently built. Plus Rob was driving 1 hour to work each way as we lived in West Jordan which was VERY VERY far west, if you are familiar with Utah we were a couple of blocks away from Usana Amphitheater...again not another bonus when dealing with concert traffic. I normally drive about 1/2 an hour to work. So we looked for something in the middle. We love it! The HOA fees cover cable, internet, water, sewer, garbage, and lawn care (except fenced backyard) and snow removal! YAH! We love our backyard as it is a solid wood deck with a small garden area around the perimeter. I will have to take pictures. This townhouse sort of 'fell' into our laps, and we are renting with the option to lease to own for now. We have 3 bedrooms 2.5 baths with 3 levels, unfinished basement. My FAVORITE feature is the pantry in the kitchen it is at least 4x the size of the one in West Jordan. I can now put all my food away with room to put my soda, and extra appliances out of site, AND still have counter space! WAHOO!

We went on our church's website to find out what time our church will be at it said it started at 2:30 in the afternoon! YIKES! When we pulled up in our U-Haul a couple of gentlemen from the ward came by and then came back with about 5 or 6 other guys and they helped us move everything in. They put the boxes/furniture in the appropriate rooms which helped us out SO much! It was like 100 degrees and Rob was really hurting with his knees, so it was slow going. My brother Jon, helped us out some as well. Anyways we asked them when church was and I guess I would have opted for the 2:30 as our church starts at 8:30 in the morning! ARGGHH! WAY early! Rob and I have been blessed with 9:00 am church all 3 years of our marriage. We moved one year and promptly had 9:00 am church, then our ward split that same year and we had 1:00 church for a few months then right back at 9:00 am. It wouldn't be so bad but Rob works Sat nights and doesn't get home until 12:00am.
