We passed a big Welcome to Utah sign last night about 7 pm. Made a big deal, Sally and Dick cheered “Utah — Hooray” a few times. Five minutes later Sally (the other two angels were asleep for a long 10 minute nap at this point) said, “Are we still in Colorado?” That’s about how the entire trip went. But went it did. And now we’re here.
We’ve had a couple offers on our house and are now in the process of counter-offering because, hello!, they are for quite a bit less than we owe. When we kept praying to sell the house, I guess we should have specified that that scenario would work better without also plunging us into debt. You can never be too specific in your prayers.
Please bless us to drive safely to the boondocks today and find a clean, nice-enough looking 1200+ square foot house with 3 bedrooms to rent for a 6 month lease for under 800/month.
At least there won’t be any cockroaches, for sure.


How do you know there won’t be cockroaches? I never had a cockroach problem until I moved here to NM, after all I had heard about big bug issues in FL only to find that to be a myth. Well, they all moved here, to this very apartment building. Good luck, I hope you find something that will work for you guys.
Man, you’re getting as bad as me about the blogging thing. Give us your family’s update. People need to know! Even those of us who burn up your cell phone minutes.
I am also confused about the roaches… Aren’t there roaches in Utah? If not, it must be Zion for sure!
Ok, I am off to catch up!
