Moving

I have been hesitant to write a post about moving because I'm scared to jinx it. Karl and I are working on buying a house in Provo. We have been looking for houses for quite a while and finally found one we love. It is in south Provo, about 5 blocks from my parents. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with a garage and a fenced yard. We are buying it from Neighborhood Housing Service. They recently finished doing a complete overhaul on the whole house. The only thing they left was the claw footed tub in the boy's bathroom. So it is all new electricity, paint, plumbing and they also did some additions to the house so it is about 1400 square feet instead of the 620 it was before they started.
We are currently waiting on the appraisal and approval from the bank. Assuming everything goes right we will sign papers on the 7th and move it soon after. Please pray that everything goes well for us.
In answer to Sisalee's question, no we're not expecting any children in the next 9 months. :)

Tupperware

I have a dilemma, we are soon moving, and in the process I want to organize my pantry. I currently have my white flour and sugar in these:

Actually the ones I have are red lids instead of blue lids. I am planning on buying another one for wheat flour, and possibly one for macaroni and one for rice.
Now the dilemma. When I was growing up we had sugar and flour in things like this, but one was mostly clear, but with a pouring spout that was red. I always knew that when I needed sugar it was the one with the red lid. Would it be worth getting blue lidded ones for my new ones to keep them separate, or should I buy red ones that match the ones I already have?

Fun Video

Here is a fun video my sister had posted on her blog and I thought it was good so I decided to put it here.

Our Deal

Karl and I have a deal regarding sports. I have always said I didn't want to be a "sports widow" and discussed it with Karl. We decided that when I was home he would only watch Jazz basketball. If I'm not home he can watch whatever he wants of course. In exchange I wouldn't complain about him watching the Jazz and occasionally would watch them with him. This has worked pretty well, but we decided to update it this weekend.
The only other team Karl really likes to watch is BYU football, but he has refrained because of our deal. This weekend I told him that I didn't mind if he watched them, but I probably wouldn't watch with him. He was happy with that change, although he probably would like it if I watched with him. We'll see...

Back to Normal?

After the craziness of the last few weeks I think my life is starting to get back to normal. Kaleb is back in school, I'm only working a few days each week, I only have one load of laundry waiting to be done. The dishwasher has been run and the sink is empty except for breakfast dishes. My bed is made.
This week I have a lot planned though. I'm making salsa with one of mom's neighbors who has a bunch of tomatoes today. I have 2 baptism dresses that I'm working on making. I have reading to do for both of my classes. I need to start writing down all my books so I have a list of them. Actually I'm planning on writing down everything we have so that next time we move we'll have a list of exactly what we own. Hopefully I'll never need it, but for our insurance we are supposed to have a list of what we have so they know what to replace if we need to.
So although life is crazy, it's back to normal crazy.

Funeral

Today was Merrill's funeral. It was a pretty nice one. The talks were the right length and the funeral overall wasn't too much longer than an hour. I sang a song at the funeral and I think I did pretty good. I would have done better if my accompanist and I had practiced together more.
I typically don't cry at funerals, this one wasn't an exception. The hard part came at the cemetery. Merrill was in the National Guard, so he qualified for Military Rights. That is something that always touches me.
I could say more, but the last week has been extremely exhausting and I'm tired, so I'm going to bed. Hopefully soon I'll get to talk to my family members that I haven't gotten to talk to for awhile.
