Moving in, babysitting, and yard sales

So, we have officially started the next chapter of our lives, which will probably last about 5 years. After a very busy August, we moved into our new basement apartment in Provo, and we are totally in love with it. Right after moving in, the hubster left for California to do some cool sound measurements on an F-35 in the middle of the desert, while I stayed home and unpacked and started my new but temporary job of babysitting my adorable niece and nephew. 

Here is my nephew while we have a "car wash" in the bathroom. He loved it so much that we did it again an hour later and he asked if we could do it again the next day!

Our most popular activity. 

Anyway, life is good! It is very strange to be back in Provo but not going to school. I am busy trying to get our house all in order and so last week I did something I have never done before-- I scoured yard sales. Not that I've never been to a yard sale, but I've never done more than one in a day. I couldn't believe how much fun it was! And holy cow, the Provo/Orem area is chalk-full of yard sales. One only has to drive for about sixty seconds before they will come across a sign leading them to a treasure trove! (Or a trash trove, depending on the sale). And look at all the stuff I got!

I got everything in this picture for just under twenty bucks. That's including the book shelf and the bowl chair, which had no stains or anything. And the Scattergories game was only three bucks and was practically new. And it is seriously one of my favorite games. Yay for fun finds!

Anyway, I hope everything is going well with anyone who is reading this. :)
