Jimmy * Esther * Zeke * Lilly

Zeke likes to choose out his clothes now, and today he chose this one…

Luckily he changed his mind and let me put a smaller shirt on him before our play date with some friends.

Jimmy and I finished reading the Old Testament together! It was both of our first times reading it cover to cover. It was really neat for me to read the stories, and helpful to have someone to ask my questions to when I was confused. We have read all of the standard works together now, including the triple combination in Spanish. We are now reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish again. I’m excited because our Spanish is getting a little rusty, we need to practice more. We hope to serve a Spanish speaking mission together someday in the very distant future that I’m sure will be here before we know it!

Selling has been a little slow. We have only had one walk-through, and that is after we dropped the price $10,000. (Now it is priced at $189,000.) I would rather have few to no walk-throughs than a ton with no good offers though.We can’t go as low as some people can because we bought our house at the peak of the market for $204,000.

It’s funny because when I look at our listing online it almost makes me want to buy it all over again. The original owners did a good job of picking out nice colors, and I would have the same in our next house if I could. Sometimes I wonder why we are even trying to sell, then I remember that it’s because I love getting a great deal! With interest rates so low, and prices of homes so low, now seems like a great time to buy a home we can settle in to. But, if we end up not selling, there are a lot of things I’m excited about still living here. Some of them include-

* Our pool opens up the end of May

* Our ward is awesome! I wish we could all stay in the same ward together.

* Super Saturday in our ward and other upcoming Relief Society activities

* Summertime here is so fun, there are lots of friends outside everyday!

* It’s really nice not having the responsibility of a big yard, (but I will also like having a bigger yard).
