I've been slacking!!

So.... I don't even know when the last time I was on here.  It has been a very long time and a lot has happened! For starters....we decided to look at houses, we ended up putting and offer on one that day.  Kind of by impulse, we didn't know if what we had done was a very good idea.  Jake had a few days where he didn't know if we should have done it.  I was so happy and excited from day one.  It turned out everything was working in our favor.  I'm so impatient and waiting 6 weeks to close on this house has been a struggle!  But we got it, and we have lived in it about 3 weeks now.  We absolutely love it!! It's in the middle of the great Lewiston City!  I'm am in the process of painting it right now... it's very tedious!  Here are a few pictures of what it looked like before we bought it..I will post "after" pictures (that might take a few months).

This is the front of our house

That was the biggest thing that has happened to us this year.  We are so excited to have our own house!

Jake and I are doing great!  We couldn't be happier.  We're both working at the same place and just enjoying life!  Our new ward is so great, they are so friendly and we love it!  Just a few other things that have happened lately- Jake was working on his grandpa's car and it rolled of the ramps and onto him.  Ended up getting six stiches in his forhead!  He also got himself a new car because he decided to junk his Mercedes (1985 Honda Accord).  It was on it's way to die for good.  We finished our temple prep classes in our last ward and are planning to get sealed in September.  Very excited and anxious for that!  Other than that, nothing else is going on!
