first let me say that Tyler decided to tell my mom and dad that mommy, daddy, Jake and mike were all going to live with him while we were in a room of crowded people. It was pretty awesome. So I explained to my dad what we were thinking about doing and he said, “that’s weird, ok.” End of discussion. That is what I like about my parents usually. I can never go to them for advise because they think that I am an adult and can make my own decisions, but the bad thing is that if I mess up they probably wont help out. They pretty much keep their mouths shut about everything and let me do what I want. I tell them enough so that they can tell that I’ve looked in to what I am doing then let me do it. I don’t know if that makes sense but I kind of like it and hate it.

So we are really looking at Anthem, (if you even start to say that it’s too far I will punch you in the face, it’s not far). We are looking at foreclosures and short sales only. The weird thing about Anthem vs. Phoenix is everything goes fast in Anthem and the houses in Phx are staying on the market forever!! They are expanding the roads on the 17 and making it more accessible so more people are wanting to move up there. I have always wanted to live there and I think I have convinced James and Jake too. The houses are gorgeous and it is beyond the best community to raise kids in all of AZ if you ask me. They have playgrounds on every corner, and just tons of kid oriented things to do. I love it! So we looked at two houses yesterday. They were both good, but I don’t think we have a chance at getting them because they have multiple bidders already. Our realtor said that since they are going fast in anthem as soon as one hits the market we need to go see it the same day then place a bid the next if we have any chance of getting it. So we shall see. I’m really excited and so is everybody else. Last night when we were going through them we were making sure that we would all have our own space, make sure that we knew whose room would be whose before we decide if we want to act on them. It’s a little complicated since we have kind of separate families, we want to make sure that just James and the boys could have their own space if they needed their family time and same with Jake and I. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we need a very specific house, so we have to make sure it works for us.

Other then that nothing really is going on. We had a good but tiring Easter, I love having an extended family to hang out with but on holidays it sucks! I don’t like going to 3 family dinners, I cant eat that much and ty gets cranky. But I guess over all it’s worth it.
