The next morning we had breakfast brought to our room and we had mimosas, and I just really didn't want to leave...
We then moved on to Park City where we spent time walking up and down the "downtown" area there, which just so happened to have a bike race going on at the time. We had some food and again, just enjoyed each other's company.

A couple of weeks later, we decided to get ourselves a pet. So we drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up our new friend Emo. He is the cutest, most emo guinea pig that has ever existed:
And he loves hanging out with his daddy.

And finally, another praying mantis story. We've been house hunting for a while now. Gotta get out of this studio and have room for the kids. There's a house across the street from our apartments that just under a year ago was trashed by the tenants. We watched as the house was redone and were just hoping that they would rent it out because it was so cute and so perfect for us. Well, the owners decided to put it on the market because they didn't want to have to deal with bad tenants again. That's understandable. So we've watched for almost a year as no one bought the house. I kept saying to Tye: "No one's going to buy it, and they're going to rent it to use just about when our lease is up." Well, I kept saying it and kept saying it. Meanwhile, every day, I'm checking the classifieds for houses in our neighborhood. We had been going to look at them and trying to find that perfect one. One day I found it. There was the house. They had finally put it up for rent! So, of course, we called them and they told us how to get in to take a look. We went over and immediately started making plans on how we would make it our own home. As we were walking around outside, on the door leading to the driveway, there was this:
A giant praying mantis. If you've read my blogs, since Tye and I met, the praying mantis has shown up immediately preceding or following a very important step in our lives. It was a sign! Well, 2 weeks later after waiting and waiting and waiting, the house is ours and we should be able to start moving in very soon! So excited to have a yard and a house with our own washer and dryer and dishwasher. :) 
Just a couple more months until the kids come out! We can't wait to see them.
