Real Estate

As of Tuesday, Chase and I will officially be licensed Realtors! We moved here on May 3 and the next day started a two week accelerated Real Estate School. So after 8:00am-6:00pm every day for two weeks, we passed the class! All that is standing between us and our licenses is the state exam that we take on Tuesday.

This is something that we are both very excited about. I am going to be working as Kyle's Real Estate Assistant, and Chase will be shadowing him learning everything he can. We start working tomorrow.

I'll put up pictures of our new apartment as soon as we finish setting up. We're almost there! So far we really love our new place. For now, here is a picture of our view from the 6'6' foot window in our living room. (SO much bright happy sunshine pours in, I LOVE it!)

We're here!

Two weeks down! We have now lived in Boise for a full two weeks and my has it flown! Here is a quick recap of our last few weeks.

First off, Chase graduated! I am so proud of him. His last semester was filled with tons of group projects and tests. He now has a degree in Business Entrepreneurship from the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University. Isn't he so handsome?!

Both of our families were able to travel to Logan to help us celebrate. We are so lucky to be blessed with families that are so loving and supportive. We had a little graduation lunch at good ol' "Cafe Sabor".

We had to get one last "True Aggie" kiss in while we were here. Its too bad it was such a rainy day though!

Chase's best friend Tate was graduating with a business degree at the same time so they got to do the traditional "Graduation March". It is a really neat tradition where all of the graduates meet at the quad and walk to the Spectrum together. Families line the sides and cheer them on as they march to the Graduation song. Chase and Tate have been great friends since their freshman year at USU. We are sad to be leaving him and his adorable wife Jodi. I couldn't help but get choked up (aka "bawl my eyes out") during the closing remarks of commemoration. It was the part where President Albrecht talked about how we all leave breadcrumbs just like hansel and grettal to find our way back "home" to Utah State...how no matter what life brings us in the future, we will ALWAYS find our way back to Logan to remember the wonderful times we had here. This is exactly how we feel! What a wonderful phase of life, and we are closing the door. As sad as it is, we really are eager to start the next stage of life.

After enjoying all of the graduation activities we got busy packing and loading up our little home into a trailer. It was bitter-sweet to say the least!

saying goodbye

1 day left!! Well we've been living in ruccous the last week as we packed and cleaned, and dejunked and threw away, and packed some more. Our house is still a dissaster but we're getting closer! Tomorrow Chase graduates from Utah State. I am so proud of him! I am also excited that now I don't have to keep myself from distracting him while he is doing homework.

Family pics!

A friend from the 12th ward took some family pictures for us. They turned out great! Here is her website if you want to check Calli's work out. Which one is your favorite?

One week left of our happy student, Aggie, social, 12th ward, Casper's Ice Cream eating, true aggie kissing, Blue Carpet Ball dancing, Track and Field throwing, ASUSU busyness, white house partying lives. We have absolutely LOVED this stage of life. We have made the best of friends and had the best of times growing as a couple. As sad as it is to close the door on this fond stage of our lives, we know that the stages of life that are ahead will bring just as much happiness.

you GOTTA check this out...

Chase and I just watched this in awe. What a great combination of two of my favorite songs. It is so cool to have such talented people to create things for our enjoyment.

"To Do"

Here is my list for today:
In order of importance of course

• Temple with Chase 4:30pm
• work for Inthinc (4 hours)
• Drop Penny off at groomer (4:00pm)
• Drop junk off at DI
• Spend my Kohls Bucks (SALE TODAY)
• get packing boxes from Smiths
• Pack Pack Pack
• Collect Comcast payments from my neighbors
• Cancel comcast starting in May(We're MOVING!)
• Work at Western Wats (if I can convince myself)
• buy some new "G's"
• Change address with Post Office
• laundry

I LOVE lists. I make a variety of lists every day, but my favorites are "To Do" lists. The sad thing is, I could have probably checked off a few of these things if I would have just done them instead of analyzing and ordering it.

I had no idea that leprechauns liked Andes mints...

Somehow this little leprechaun got into our house and made a big mess of everything! I think he was looking for a pot of gold. Believe me, if we had one, it would not have been hidden in my kitchen cubboard OR my food storage shelf. He left fools gold and Andes mints everywhere, (Andes mints? who would have thought?!) along with a trail of little magical clovers everywhere he went. What a funny little guy!

For dinner on Sunday I made corned beef and cabbage. It is an Enzler tradition every St. Patricks Day. I think it is so tasty, it is really too bad that Chase hates it with a passion. He thinks because its red it means its not cooked. Anyway, hope everyone had a lucky day!
