One year older and wiser too

Frer la hair gaburtstock, in German they say it too. :)

Happy Birthday Lizzie! I was going to do this earlier but I went to bed at 8:00p.m. last night so I could catch the "Rhino" early this morning and come to the Green Zone. Now I'm sitting here in the nice embassy lounge writing a happy birthday message. Hey, it's still the 15th back in Utah....at least for a few more hours. :)

I hope you had a great birthday.

Love you!

- Daniel

Landlord

Hey Daniel- sounds like you should buy a home in San Diego!! You could have hundreds of tenants immediately. haha.

Birthday

Hey thanks for all your gifts you guys! A couple came in the mail the other day (Sara and Jarem, Mom and Dad) and Daniel has been giving us gifts ever since Dan graduated and started studying for the bar. We really appreciate all the love and support you've shown us. I didn't even remember it was my birthday until I got those cards/gifts in the mail. Too much going on. It was very nice to be remembered!

Oh, and I just thought I'd let you all know that WE GOT A HOUSE!!!!!!!!! :) We won! It took some fast-talking, lots of humor, and a bunch of begging/pleading on our part. But we somehow managed to worm our way into the the good graces of a landlord in Rancho Penasquitos and beat out all the 100's of other homeless people vying for a rental in this dog eat dog market. She's sending me pictures of the interior soon (which our friends went through for us), so I'll post them on our blog. Love you guys!

This is the Craigslist photo of the outside of the home. Cute, huh?!

Oh Bother!

Attempt number two in the rental house search:

$2 million dollar La Jolla home
$2000/mo.

Fraud.


ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! (but good thing we didn't send any money) :)

Here's to Dad's astute observation that today is 7/7/7. :) Oh, by the way, for all those of you who knew that we had applied for a home in Rancho Penasquitos...we didn't get it. :( We were heartbroken. I wonder if it was because we have kids. Anyway, the owner decided to go with another applicant. Blah. Now it's back to the grind and I think Dan and I have had quite enough of searching rentals. It's so stressful! We've been mourning for the last few days after we found out with didn't get 9332 Pipilo St. I'm anxious, stressed, nervous...and a whole lot of other lovely feelings. Dan is worried about finding a place...so much so that his attention is getting pulled from his studies. I'm neglecting our kids while sitting here at the computer all day long searching for rentals, trying to be the first one to respond to those we like. I guess it's really cut-throat in the areas that we want to live. And it's hard to compete from Utah, when everyone else is right there to view the place and sign contracts in person. I'm sick of this. I just need to have faith that the right home for us is out there and that the Lord knows what He's doing. I'm just getting more and more worried as the days tick by and we need to be moving in four weeks! I think I'm going to have a hernia. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Okay, I'm tired of seeing GAY when I open this blog...so here's something different! hehe. Nice pics of you and Brooke and Angie on the bagel factory Elizabeth. You're cute...and thin!
