Updates

So we officially live in Utah. Crazy right? It has actually been quite the nightmare though. We moved down here on Wednesday. Everything went pretty smoothly with the move except for the fact that Cammon was way sick and had to get albuteral treatments every few hours. Pretty sure he might be asthmatic because this is the 4th time this year he has gotten way sick and needed breathing treatments. He is doing much better now though, so no worries. Anywho.... After being in our new apartment for 24 hours we started noticing that our upstairs neighbors had some strange activity going on. Like every hour a car or two would pull into the driveway, some sketchy character would walk up to the house, be there for less than 5 minutes and then leave. And this would happen 24 hours a day. So we might be jumping to conclusions but we are pretty sure they are drug dealers. Just saying. And then there was the fact that when we first moved in the apartment smelled fine, but as the days went on it smelled more and more like cigarette smoke. Awesome. And the parties until 5am weren't great either. Oh yeah, and there was the fact that our manager told us that all the utilities were included until we moved in, and then she drops the bomb that everything except for electric, cable, and internet are included. Wait... what?

SO needless to say we will not be staying in our little apartment that we were so excited about. Totally bummed that it didn't work out better. My family's safety has to take priority here. So we are homeless. But Kyle's sister and her husband have been so generous to put us up at their house for the time being. Thank heavens for a supportive family. So that's where we are at right now. Adney is having a blast with his cousins and Cammon is breathing SO much better now that we are out of our smokey apartment. Things have been kind of rough going. Things just aren't going the way we hoped it would. But things will work out and hopefully we will not be in limbo forever.

That is really scary. I have a friend (with 3 kids) that lives in Salt Lake (whose husband goes to U of U for medical school), I will send you a facebook message with her phone number. Maybe she might know some apartments near the campus.

Randomly came across your blog... long time, no see. Anyways, Millcreek Meadows has a 3 bedroom available this week or next (or at least they did a few days ago). Maybe further from the U than you want, but they are pretty affordable ($790ish). Not a bad commute, my husband works in research park and rides the bus.

good luck with things down there. I haven't seen your blog for a while because we have been moving up to Idaho. But, I really hope things work out soon, and you find a place to live. That is a nightmare! I can't even imagine something like that. Did you have all your stuff moved in and have to move it out?
