A few pictures to start...

This is the living room of our apartment, we never did put up the rest of the pictures before moving out. There really wasn't place on the walls to hang them up, and with both of us working, there just never was time to put them up either....it took us 2 and 1/2 months to get the picture up of the Savior.
This is just the dining area of the house. Somehow I haven't taken pictures of the whole house yet, I thought I did...but again we've been so busy. We aren't even completely unpacked yet and we've been in for about a month. We are LOVING our house, and are so excited for Jamison's parents to come and stay the night with us on Saturday. Which reminds me, gotta get those boxes out of the guest room to fit the bed frame for the guest bed. We have a lot to do this weekend! eck!
Thanksgiving in St. George was spent at Jamison's uncle's place. I met some cousins and aunts/uncles that we didn't see at the wedding, and we had fun with the family. :) That was Thursday, the rest of the weekend was spent packing and moving from the apartment to the house ---all the big things anyway ---.
And as always, Thanksgiving can not exist without nap time! :D (This is Kent, Jamison's stepdad).
And we ended out our stay in Utah with a visit to meet Jamison's grandfather on his mom's side. And he is a crack up! He had us laughing so hard. In this picture he was putting hot sauce on his ice cream. We all didn't believe that he eats it on his ice cream, but he did it, AND ate it...and somehow seemed to enjoy it! Whatever floats the boat! :) It was a fun and exciting weekend.
Now we're all moved into the house, and we're slowly putting everything in it's place. It's so weird to actually have a place for everything, and on top of that, to be the one to decide where I want everything to be.....it's weird. But fun! And we'll hopefully have everything unpacked by the time Jamison's parents come Saturday afternoon. Crossing fingers! I'd better get off here.... wish me luck! :)

New casa

We are now in our new home! We don't have everything moved from the apartment to the house yet, but we've got the essentials, so we're good for now until we find time this weekend maybe to move the couch/tv/and other big items in the kitchen.
We. Are. LOVING. the house! And we lose each other in it because it feels SO big in comparison to our apartment. At first I felt a little uneasy about the location, not knowing very much at all about the area of town, but after living there for a few days now I feel so safe it's ridiculous.
I took loads of pictures of the apartment before packing up, and of the house, but the camera is currently M.I.A. so when I find it in this move I'll post some "before and after" living quarters for Jamison and Amy Pruitt.
Funny story: Sunday we went to "our" ward for the first time, and finally when we could introduce ourselves as "The Pruitts" instead of people knowing me by my maiden name, Jamison goes ahead and says, "Well, I'm Jamison Pruitt, and this is my wife - Amy Ferne....ugh...err...Pruitt." nice jamison....nice....

We're loving it so far! Good thing too, because I was really really nervous that the transition would be a hard one for me, but we love it. It's really nice to start fresh with my hubby.

By the way - made dinner last night on our stove - i'm in Heaven. And so is Jamison because he finally gets nice warm and yummy food. Nothing better than homemade goodies.

Pictures to come shortly. As for now - I've got TONS more moving to do. Later!

Moving

Well, first of all, the whole "top ten tuesday" thing: SO out the window. I don't have anything near interesting enough to say every tuesday, and even I'm bored reading what I write. So yeah, done with that.
Jamison and I have been looking and looking into finding a house to rent or at least a better apartment space, and with much prayer and earnest seeking we've found a beautiful place that we're really excited about!


Sunday the 24th of October Jamison and I went to a fireside at the Lindell building and he found an ad on the bulletin about renting a house in the Las Vegas Stake Center area, so he called on it and got a call back immediately from the owner saying he'd be in town Monday and could show us the house. Well I had to work on Monday so Jamison went during his lunch break, and I just thought I'd leave the decision making up to him and trust his judgement, but he ended up picking me up early from work and going to take a look at the house together.
We LOVED it! I mean, all I needed to see was a stove/oven and I would be in HEAVEN, and it was really such a cute little place. . .AND it had a stove/oven! haha.
Well, we prayed about it, and thought about every little detail involving the move and if it was right for us at this time, and we made the decision by Tuesday morning and decided to go ahead and do it! So, we'll be getting the keys on the 16th of this month and will move in on the 20th.

WOW! Crazy! Seriously, a pattern I have noticed with Jamison and myself is that whenever something NEEDS to happen, everything just falls into place for us. In the period of 3 days we went from being in the Palmhurst ward, in our little apartment with no plans on moving anytime soon, to -boom- moving into a house; new ward; new neighborhood, etc. It's crazy, but we're SO excited! It feels like we're really beginning to start our new life together, in a new environment with people we don't know........it'll be SO different, SO new for us, SO scary!

But we're ready. I'm ready. I love my ward, my family, my friends, my current neighborhood and all I grew up knowing, but it's time for us to start anew, just the two of us. And I'm finally ready for that.

So here's to a new beginning! *let's hope I make it through*

I'll post pictures of the house soon......... :)
