Blog 2.0....It starts again

Hello again to all three of you readers of this blog.  Hahahaha.  Anyway, I thought I would try blogging again.  Not that I want to communicate any political stands or have something amazing to share with the world.  Sometimes it is just nice to have somewhere to post and write other than Twitter and Facebook.  It has been a while since the last post to this blog.  We were able to build a great home at a location that we love.  Many of you have already visited, but if you haven't send me an email and I can give you directions.  If you have already feel free to drop in again. Below is a picture from my latest adventure, "fixing the one year old fridge."

This was something that I didn't thing I would have to do for a while.  The pieces I replaced were the compressor start relay and the overload.  First I spent some time using the vacuum to clean the coils under the fridge.  This minor cleaning job did not help, but it did make things look cleaner afterwards.  Next I  searched the internet and made many calls to part stores I was able to track down a part that would replace the two, but would not be an exact match.  This gave me a great excuse spend some quality time at Home Depot to purchase an ohmmeter and pick up some drill bits.  That's right the drill bits were extra and not needed for this project.  Anyway with a little help from the guys at the store I was able to get the part wired correctly and stop the ice cream from melting!  The kids had fun watching and there were no injuries to report.

The Hunt Begins!!

We have lived in apartments in cities all over northern Utah for the 11 years; and now we have a chance to own a home. We are very excited and nervous at the same time. We have been working towards being eligible for ownership for almost a year now. We have been window shopping along the way. And now we are excited to be able to officially look for a home. We are looking around the Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain areas. If anyone knows any good areas or builders they have been pleased with please let us know.

Museum Fun

We got our annual pass to Thanksgiving Point and took everyone to the Dino Museum yesterday. My youngest was the funnest to watch. She is two this year and the simplest things got her excited. When the saw the T-Rex at the entrance she said "woof woof" and the pterodactyl at the front made her clap and eyes get huge. They added a room of hands on exhibits they are trying out before they open the children's discovery museum next year. They all enjoyed launching bits of paper to the roof and catch them as the floated back down. It is a lot of fun and the kids learn a lot from going.
