We Got a House!! (finally!)

Well, whoever said "Third time's a charm," was wrong, because it took us 4. After putting offers on 3 other house and getting turned down or outbid, we got the fourth, which looking back, we are so glad, because this is our favorite! It is in Taylor Ranch (same subdivision as my mom and dad's house). The bad news is it is not in our ward-although it used to be before it split. We will be in my parents' ward. Close of escrow is supposed to be July 2nd, but the loan will probably take longer, but the process is moving along. We had the inspection today, and no major problems, so that was good news. We took some pictures and Craig even did a video. Here's the place we will soon call home, complete with our car in the driveway: Here's the tour (2 videos because the inspector started talking):

Cathy's Sewing Attempt

If there was a list that ranked people on their sewing ability, my name would fall at the very bottom. Despite that, I saw on a blog where a lady made a little toddler dress for a girl out of a man's dress shirt. It was too cute to not try, so after going through Craig's shirts, I decided they weren't girly enough and bought a new one at an outlet store for $3.50. It had purple, so I liked it for a dress...would never let Craig wear it though. I bought a little purple fabric for the waist, some elastic, and went to work...making a pattern out of paper towels and newspaper-talk about a cheap project. Many flaws, but I was proud of myself for the attempt and actually finishing a project the same day! Here's the dress on my favorite model:
