Goodbye Minnesota...Hello Iowa!

We made it! Yesterday we made the 3 1/2 hour drive to West Des Moines, Iowa and said goodbye to Minnesota. It was a nice drive and we made it safely. This is definitely going to be a new experience for us. We are going to be staying in an Extended Stay, it is like a hotel but with a little kitchen. It really isn't bad and I got creative with finding places to put all of our stuff. The only thing that isn't so great about them are the people who stay in them...interesting, very interesting. But I am glad that I have my friends out here! Today we went exploring and it really is a nice area. Regan had a really big day-3 sales!! So we are off to a good start in Iowa. I will post some pictures of our place once I get everything put away.

My Green Thumb


Well at the beginning of the summer Regan and I planted 3 tomato plants and  1 red pepper plant. We wanted to try and be thrifty and to grow something on our own. It has been so fun to watch our plants grow. The first time that I saw a little green tomato I screamed because I was so excited! For the last couple weeks we have enjoyed our little tomatoes...they really aren't that big but they are so so good! We are just waiting for our peppers to turn red and they are almost there. So I had to show of our plants because I am quite proud of them.

Just An Update

So I know that it has been forever since I have posted anything! Really I haven't had anything to post...we do the same thing everday. We wake up and go to gym, come home and get ready for the day, go to our 12:00 work meeting, then Regan leaves for work and I start on paperwork, then when I finish I hang out with the girls and maybe clean the apartment, then I cook dinner and Regan comes home and we eat, then we watch some Andy Griffith and I fall asleep on the couch until Regan wakes me up to go to bed and then we do it all over again the next day. Now don't get me wrong I'm not complaining at all, we have had a really great summer and have had alot of fun and met some really great friends but this an average day for us and so not a lot happens. So I am just going to post something even though it is hard for me not to post something with a picture or about an event. I just wanted to give an update on things for us in Minnesota. We are doing really well! This is our last week in Minnesota...sad but happy at the same time. But we aren't done selling yet. We are on our way to Des Moines, Iowa for another month and a half. I know I know we are crazy but we both felt that continuing the selling thing was right and worth it. I am going to keep doing the office work and Reg will keep doing his thing. He has done really well this summer and works so hard! We are really excited to eventually move back to Utah because we are trying to buy a townhouse! So exciting! It will be done being built in December so that is one reason why we are staying in Iowa until October. Having our own place is all that I can think about! Minnesota has been good to us and we've had some good times here...who know we might be back next summer...ha ha! But now we are on to next adventure. Stay tuned.
