I hate moving. I have done it my whole life, and so my dream is to just live somewhere (in the middle of nowhere) forever and know the whole town and take dinners to people and bake cookies all day. Sounds like domestic bliss to me! I don't know if I'll ever get anything close to that- and that's ok, keeps life exciting.
We've already moved two times this summer, and we're upon our third time: moving back to Provo. It totally stinks. Housing prices are Horrendous (they are seriously charging $700 for basement apartments) and there is NO WHERE!! I have only found this one place where the management company is so ridiculously LAME! They asked for our financial statements! (BTW- we're just RENTING) What the heck? Do you think that's normal? Because we don't. OH yeah, and they totally nickel and dime tenants: $5 for every hole in the wall, $15 for someone to spend the night, $10 if you lock yourself out of your house!!! The unfortunate thing is we're probably going to end up living there unless a serious miracle happens, which I will be praying for tonight. I have honestly been working my brains out trying to find somewhere to live, and quite frankly I'm exhausted. I'm supposed to sign the contract tomorrow morning. I know I am going to regret this, but what can I do?

Our happenings
We had to get out of our apartment this weekend, so we decided to go up to Leavenworth (thank you for your wonderful trip planning Adam!!) We had a great time! Leavenworth, WA is cute little Bavarian (Germany) copy-cat city next to Lake Wenatchee. They had live Polka music, we ate Sauer Kraut and Sausages and looked around at their cute little German-esque shops. Madeline LOVED the polka music, and loved seeing horse-drawn carriages go by. It was just a shame we had to end our night at 7:30pm for Madeline to go down to sleep. If we only had a travelling nanny...
This is our picture by the lake. It was so beautiful. Beautiful snow capped mountains in the background, which are cut off (thank you random photographer).
Our hike around the lake by the Bed and Breakfast where we stayed. Adam, aka "sexy dad" is waving at the camera while Madeline is enjoying her "throne".
We stayed at this cute old vintagy bed and breakfast, that was decorated with TONS of old quilts and stuff. It totally reminded me of my grandma's house.
This is Madeline on her new borrowed toy car. She LOVES it. I love the jammy tops and bottoms, it makes her look so grown up, don't you think?
We went to the Seattle Aquarium, which Madeline loved, but it was kind of disappointing to Adam and I. Especially after the $15 entry fee and the rave reviews we've heard about it, we just expected a little more. But it was pretty cool I guess. This huge fish tank was my favorite part. Followed closely by...
This tank where you could touch the star fish and animals. Cool huh? Ohhh.... pretty colors...
Madeline loved the fish swimming by. And don't you love her outfit? She spilled all her juice on her clothes in the car, so all we had to put her in was her jacket, diaper (of course) and leggings! Good thing she's so cute, she can pull off no clothes!
Daddy and Madeline walking into a park we actually couldn't go in because it cost $ and it was Sunday. But I made them pose for this cool pic anyway... ;)
Yummy speghetti...
