So, to update everyone, we bought a house.  We sign the papers 9/24/21 with lawyer and then 9/25/21 we get a rental truck and move into the house.  The picture above is the new, permanent house.  This house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  It has a master suite, full attic and full basement.  The previous owner is allowing us to keep the furniture in the first living room and we are buying the washer and dryer from her.  It also has 200 more feet of living space than our currant situation.  We are very excited since we have not had a house of our own during our marriage.  19 years of renting and nothing to show for it.  What is astonishing to us is...we have to go through 9 1/2 years of stuff in our current house and weed out, pack, throw out.

Also, Brycen is a senior this year and Payson is in 4th grade (new school too).  The lawyers gave a letter to district so Payson could start in Owasco Elementary instead of going to Casey Park Elementary for 1 month then transferring to Owasco.  What a crazy year 2021 has become.  

Brycen also started a job a Movie Plex and left Dickman Farms.

Mike started a new job a East Hill Medical as a Dental Prior Authorization Specialist...no more commuting to Fulton every day.  WOOHOO!  He also took on 2nd job as a gas attendant for Quikfil; to take the load off Leah.

Leah has been steadily working 60 hrs a week at TLC Emergency Services through the COVID pandemic.  Leah, Mike and Brycen have all been vaccinated against COVID-19.  They are patiently waiting for Payson's age group to be allowed to get vaccinated.  He desperately wants it.  

Other news, Leah is the secretary in the Relief Society and Mike is the 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum and Brycen is 1st assistant to the Bishop.  Payson is too young to have a calling in the church at this time.  

As we ponder 9/11 20 yrs later, the boys werent around but they have been told stories and watch documentaries.  Mike and Leah still remember where they were and what they were doing.  Today, it is 65 degrees and blue skies; 20 yrs ago it was 68 degrees and blue skies.  This is the first time in 20 yrs it has been blue skies on 9/11.  The world has changed alot for the bad and good.  

I hope this blog entry find you happy and healthy.
