So, we are finally in Pocatello, and we finally got our housing figured out. The story:
In June i had an interview in Pocatello at a dental office so while i was interviewing brady went looking for housing. When i got done, we looked up a real estate agent to show us around town to get a feel for the housing market. We decided we liked the new look of townhouses and thought they would suit us well. When we got back to twin we talked to a loan officer to see how much i would need to make as a hygienist to afford the town house. He asked what i would do if i couldn't find a job and i said i would commute to twin until i found a job. So he said we could just punch in the income we were getting and say we were commuting to see if we would be approved at that time. That way we could move in sooner. We got pre-approved and started papers on the townhouse. Because of advice from family and friends, plus the seller's irritating real estate agent, and the fact that our banker died in a car crash a few days later, we decided that we should re-look for a house instead. In July we went with another bank who said that everything would be fine and to go ahead and make on offer on a house that we liked. So we did. But a we couldn't get the loan to go through which is understandable, i just wish we would have known before we started this 2 month long process. So while Brady was in orientation 4 days before school started, i desperately looked for an apartment that we could lease month to month. We found one that was actually cute and was way cheaper than any rent we've ever payed before. We got it friday, drove to twin and packed all our things that night,(thank you mark, jay and jeff!!!) and moved to poky the next day after going to my cousins wedding. Suprisingly we liked our little apartment which has two bedrooms and tons of closet storage. We realized that it will take me a while to get a good job, brady only has a 25% chance of being in poky for his fourth year of school, and that we weren't willing to pay more than double our rent to get a house almost the same size. So we luckily got out of the contract due to our financing problem since i don't have a job yet, and we are happy to be staying in our inexpensive cute apartment. (mostly we love our furniture on loan from tom and annette. Thanks!!)
Some things i made for my new little nieces. (except the nursing cover, Jay had cute left over fabric so i attempted to make one for her)
Us girls went to Chillies to party with Jay before she had her little baby.
The nastious bug i've ever seen! we thought it was a tarantula at first, it was as big as one.
We carved pumpkins with some friends for FHE. Ours is the Holy one. (After we were finished i realized that the one i wanted to copy was done with a drill. ours was not as cool)
Brady at the hospital with Jaylynn and Marks new little girl Aisley. Doesn't he look so good holding a baby girl?!
Second attempt at carving a pumpkin. it is supposed to be me and brady. our first attempt rotted while we were in twin falls and left a moldy mushy mess all over our carpet.
I was only there in spirit
