Last night we stayed in a hotel in Provo that is right next door to Keith's office. The car we just bought for Keith has been nothing but problems. We have already had three major repairs. Luckily most of the repairs have been covered under the warranty. The latest problem is the heater isn't working. Poor Keith has been freezing the last couple of weeks. We took it to a dealer in Orem so Keith could use their shuttle to get to work. They tried one thing and that didn't work so we had to take it back in again this week.
Our warranty was saying they weren't going to cover it so the guy at the dealer escalated the call all the way to the divisional level and finally got them to cover most of it. After that he talked to his boss and got him to waive the rest of the fee because he felt bad that he hadn't fixed it the first time. I am so grateful to him, he saved us a ton of money!
Anyway, they had to keep the car over night and we had a home we wanted to look at on Thursday so we just booked a hotel next to Keith's work and decided to make a fun little getaway out of it. It worked out great, he just got up this morning and walked over to work.
We found a home in Provo and we were so excited about it. I just knew this was the one for us. Me and the kids picked Keith up from work on Thursday and went over and met Paul at the house. The house was even better than we expected. Paul and Tiff were celebrating Tessa's birthday so while they did that we went and checked into our hotel.
The kids were so excited. I made sure the hotel had a pool and a nice breakfast in the morning.
We ate a quick dinner and then headed down to the pool. The pool was pretty cold, but you got used to it after a while.
Wyatt can't stand to be cold so he didn't last too long in the pool. They had a hot tub and it was more like a warm bath so we let the kids go in there. We had the whole place to ourselves it was great.
Jonah loved being able to play catch and jump in the pool without anyone else around. We played different games and had races and we all had a blast!
Jonah was thrilled that they had cable so he could watch sports. After we all showered we went to Walmart and picked out some snacks and then we ran over to Tiff and Paul's to sign the offer. It was pretty late when we got back to our hotel so we all got ready for bed. We didn't get a ton of sleep, but that is to be expected with four kids in a hotel.
This morning Keith got up early and went to work. The kids and I went down to breakfast and then the kids were so excited to go exercise in the hotel's little gym. Luckily we had that all to ourselves too because the kids had a blast trying out each machine. After that the kids and I just hung out and watched TV (okay I slept) until Keith came back over for lunch. After that the kids and I headed home for an afternoon full of packing!
We are not under contract on this home we love yet, but it looks like it is going to work out. We are praying it does! We love the house and it is so obvious that the owners take such good care of the home. If all goes well we will be in that home just in time for Christmas!
