a little back ground on me and derek

Derek and I Meet on a blind date when I was still in high school…(thanks Michelle for dragging me out that nigh … And thanks to Car for canceling on them…) And this is where I say the rest is history but that’s not quite the entire story. We did meet on a blind date when I was in high school and that day was the being inning of a beautiful love story. Shortly after meeting Derek and dating. We hade a very funny conversation on nigh laying out on the tramp in his parent’s back yard it went something like this….

Derek: I use to be best friends with Jason ***** (my next door neighbor)

Kenzie: nooooooooo are you serious???

Derek: Yep!

Kenzie: that’s so funny because when I was younger I use droll of Jason and his friends.

Derek: (laughing)

Kenzie: what’s so funny?

***Please keep in mind when I “drooled” of his BF Jason and his friends I was in like 3-5 grade***

Derek: are you the girls that hid on the other side of the fence and would peek over and giggle?

Kenzie: yep! (At this point I was embarrassed that when I was 7,8,9 and 10 I was drooling over my future husband)

Then Derek began to ask me if I know one of his other friends and then I proceeded to tell him about when I was 14 and at youth conference and I liked this guy named Joel***** and that he had pined me down with one of his friends and dumped buckets of water on me. This is when Derek informed me that the ‘Friend” was him wow I can believe that my hole life I hade ran in to him and that I never ever knew him. Their are a lot of other things that have happened like Derek and I hade the same friends in high school and we still did not know each other till that day when Michelle called and asked me to fill in for Carly who canceled on them…. Now I can say the rest is history….

whats been going onwith the Money's

I have good news I………. No I am not pregnant I wish but I still have good news I got new job!!! So I start on Monday!!!! I am so excited my new hours are from 7:30 am -4:40 pm my old hours were from 8:30 am -5:30 pm and I am not a morning person so this will be a challenge for me. the bad part I have no idea if I am going to have internet access anymore I hope I do ( I should I don’t know any business that does not have internet) and I don’t have internet at home so I and really nervous that I will not be able to check anything or blog anymore:( but we will see I guess that the price you pay for a raise so the rest of the week I feel like I am hitting my head against a wall because I really don’t want to be at work ( I just feel like the office has become hostile towards me for leaving them but the pay raise was to big to pass up so I guess I will be ok for the next 2 days.

So we are all settled in to our home and our landscaping is being put in and it should be done next week!!!! And dun dun dun Ruby went in to heat ahhhhhhhhhhhh this is not what I needed this month but at least we will get it over with before we leave on our cruse which if you have not noticed its 1 month and 21 days till we leave!!!! But me and Derek being procrastinators we still have not gotten our pass ports yet crap crap crap is all I have to say on that so this Saturday we have to wake up early and go down to the post office and get that part squared away and have them expedited so they will be hear in time. Maybe this will teach me not to procrastinate but in my defense what we needed to get it done was in the storage unit all summer long and by the time my parents told us it was already packed away for the long summer so I had to wait this long oh well what can you do huh?

Well I will try and get on some time next week if I have access to the internet and let you all know how my new job is!!!

McKenzie

wow!!!!

So i cant believe we have been in our house for at least 2 weeks its been so nice this last weekend we Had some friends over for a game night and then on Sunday we had over Derek's family for family home evening and the kids about tore our house apart but it was goodnight. and that day at church we met some really nice people and we are sooo excited to be in this ward.

its been so crazy we have unpacked the hole house and got all our stuff put away and Derek has hung up all of our pictures. its so nice to have our own stuff now and the dogs cant stop running around the house like they did in our other house they love the yard and the park across the street.

we are so happy and cant believe how blessed we are to be able to have a home like ours and in the aria we love we can wait to raise kids in the neighbor hood. ( we found out from our home teachers that the ward has to have 4 nurseries and it ha about 180 kids in the ward) so we hope we can add to that number some day)

we love you all and can wait for you all to be able to come down and see our home and be able to make lots of memories in it..


P.s. so my parents have been so stressed about Derek and I getting our passports that they have called us almost every day about them... so I just want to let everyone know we have an appointment on October 25Th at 10:30 to get them so we can go on our cruse on December 13Th 2008 i am sooooo excited it only 1 month and 28 days away!!!!!



we love you all!!!

ITs official we are home owners!!!!

Ok so i have not posted in a a few days but our life has been way hectic on Thursday we had our walk through and then Friday Derek went hunting and lost his wallet and at five i got a call from our loan office called me and informed me we would not be closing due to the appraiser not getting him all the info they needed on time so it was being pushed back AHHHHHH! so he said we will close on Monday but we didn't know what time. Ok so at this time i didn't know Derek had lost his wallet so i was freaking out but still ok we were going to close but when was the question so Friday night my mom sister and I had a girls night watching 80'S movies but we got a call from the boys and the bad news just kept rolling my dad popped the tire on the 4 wheeler and Derek lost his wallet which had credit cards debit cards and ....... his drivers licence AHHHHHH her needs this to close crap what are we going to do. so we went on with our movie and i ended up sleeping over with both dogs on the bed with me. so the next day ( Saturday) we went shopping and just went where ever we wanted with no care in the world. and then we went to dinner and then went home to watch more 80's movies then we got another call from the boys the blew up a 4 wheeler so they would be home in 15-20 min. well the next day we had to take Derek's parents to the airport and then went to my parents for dinner. so Monday rolled around and Derek went to the drivers licence division to get a new drivers licence, he got and that part was ok and then the frustration began. to make a long story short we didn't close after many attempts. but Tuesday morning we finally close and last night we started to move in!!!!! so we just want to take a moment to thank all our Friends who helped last night and the rest of this week who are coming to help we really appreciate it. so hear are some pics for you to enjoy....
