Major Update

Time seriously has flown by this year for us. So much has happened in our lives this year that we are still just taking it all in. Sol has now been at his job for 10 months now and he still loves it. He is getting better at it everyday and he is getting closer to getting his ASA (which is the first level of certification for Actuaries). He takes his last big exam for it on Nov. 9th and we are just hoping he gets as good a score on this one as he did the last two he took. I am sure he will since he studies almost every minute of everyday that he isn't working, eating or sleeping. He really is such a smart guy and I am so proud of him.

We moved into our house on May 18th and we are loving it. I seriously don't think we could have chosen a better neighborhood. Our neighbors are great and we love the ward. We teach the 7-8 year olds in primary and we love it. They are seriously the cutest kids. Yes sometimes they drive us crazy, but I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach them. I am sure I learn more from them than they do from me. It has taken me way too long to post pictures of the house after it was finished so here you go.


Love the Kitchen!!
We love our huge pantry.
The tub is Sol's favorite part of the house.

We love everything about the house. It is a lot of work especially trying to put a yard in, but we are enjoying it. We have been working on it all summer and we still aren't finished so we don't get to put in grass until next spring, but hopefully we won't have too much left to do then. We will see though. Once we get that finished I am sure we will start working on the inside of the house more, which I can't wait for. Not like there is stuff to fix up but I would like to decorate more and paint the rooms. Hopefully it will turn out good.

Your house looks beautiful! I love the cabinets and the tub looks like you could just melt there and chill for a long time with a good book, or just some bubbles! Congrats on becoming home owners, the fun will never end (and it won't always feel like fun but it's sure nice sitting back when the work is finished and taking in all that you've made!)
