8/26/12 Well we survived the moved!  Aagggh.  WOW what a lot of work!  And what a crazy week! I think by the end we were running on fumes!   Living room of Colony Circle, moving day Living room of Colony Circle, moving day Master bedroom, Colony Circle, moving day Kitchen, Colony Circle, moving day   Pantry Living room, new house So the sale of our home never went through on Friday, as it was supposed to.  Then it didn't go through again on Monday.  On Tuesday we got an email that it DID go through at 2:30 p.m.  Then at about 7 p.m. dad got a phone call that it DIDN'T go through and they needed a signed statement by a licensed contractor that the work we had done on the roof was properly done.  Dad made phone calls and wasn't having much luck (I was of course in court, no help at all!).  I think around 8:30 p.m. he called Ryan Hirschi who willingly ran over and checked things out ...

8/14/2012 LETTER TO DAD (RAYMOND LAURITO) I just barely fo und this email today!  Ha, weird! The home is coming along I guess...should be moving this week but we still don't know when closing is.  Maybe tomorrow?!  I can't believe how in the dark they are keeping us.  Oh well,  I am too busy to worry about it! We had a "going away party" last night thrown by some friends in the ward.  Had swimming and pizza and cookies at the clubhouse at one of the townhomes.  It was great.  Good crowd but not too big! Tonight I will work until late (been 9 p.m. the last 2 weeks) and then we have an appointment with the stake presidency (about what we don't know?!) tonight at 8:30 p.m. Tomorrow I have YW and the kids start school. Thursday is back to school night and Friday night is the first football game of the season so Andy has been incredibly busy preparing and then of course he will be busy every Friday from now on! So, yeah. ...

8/13/12  Why Dallas didn’t get the job... I thought you might enjoy this little exchange about your brother: Dallas went and applied to work at Seagull Books.  My friend Marilyn's daughter is the manger there so I encouraged him to apply since we "know" people. So Marilyn told me a little about Dallas' job interview.  She said her daughter Melony asked him why he applied to work there and his response was, "My mother made me." Oh boy. She asked if he had read many of the books there and he said, "no, I don't really enjoy reading." I guess you can guess that he didn't get the job. Melony did say that she enjoyed his honesty. She said Melony hired another older lady who is knowledgeable about churchy books and that she might need him in the fall when she needs muscles not counter help. Funny, huh.

8/5/12 This week has been so busy it is kind of a blur!  Work has been super busy since we had off last week for 24th.  We had 59 cases that we handled Tuesday night and court didn't end until 9 p.m.  Ouchy. That's a wee bit too long even for me!  I am hoping this week will be much less busy! Worked hard Wednesday cleaning all of court up and since I ended up having about 6 extra hours by end of day Wednesday I just took Thursday off completely.  It felt good!  Dad had some work to do and Dallas had school so I was able to pack and do a little work around the house. We were going to go on Thursday to Capitol Reef for the family reunion but decided to stay home and clean out dad's closet and a couple other little projects and have a 1-day "stay-cation" here instead of spending all the $ on a motel room Thursday night.  We took the kids to a movie (they got to bring a date) and then...
