Father's Day

We went to Mima and Papa's house for dinner on Father's Day right after church. While we were on the way, we took a few videos.



Right before I took this video, Brandon called his mom to tell them we'd see them "in a minute":




We had an awesome dinner and two yummy desserts. I made Apple Dumplings with a recipe I'd never tried and it was amazing. You can try it too by clicking here. And it was wicked easy.

After dinner, her cousins introduced Elly to "dress ups": (I'm not so sure she loved her first experience dressing up)

SOLD!


Through complete divine blessing, Brandon and I sold our house this week. We are amazed and overwhelmed that in this horrible market, we've managed to find a solid buyer who gave us almost what we were asking. We are so grateful that we don't have to worry about the house anymore. We will be moving to Utah sometime around August 15th.

By the way, for those of you who didn't receive our mass email for some reason, Brandon was accepted to BYU's MBA program and we are headed to Provo for the next two years. We are so sad to leave beautiful California and our wonderful house, but we are moving on to the next step in our lives.

We are both really excited to see what this change will bring. Brandon is excited about leaving the work force for a few years as a nice change of pace and I have already connected with some of the other spouses in the MBA program.

We are not terribly excited about living in good old Provo again and have already been trying to find a place to live. That reminds me- do any of you know of a nice place for a cute little family of three to hang out for a couple years? We would love all the help we can get finding something nice.

Well, that's our update. We'll keep you posted on our moving progress.
