Joy recently picked up a pair of couches off of craigs list. We cleaned them yesterday, we were shocked and awed at the amount of goodies in the cracks. Chase now has a full set of crayons, and we have a remote control to a dvd player… hopefully Joy will post some pictures.

We’re moving
Yes we have the keys now, we are really moving. No joke.
UPDATE: We are moved in, and un packing. A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED!!! We are so excited to be here. We hope Pace’s job sticks around so we can still afford to live here. 🙂 I think Joy will have the place looking like home sooner rather than later.
Well, I’m back, not that anyone missed me. Joy didn’t even write how sad and lonely and depressed she was on the blog… b/c she wasn’t. I went to CA yesterday to pick up a large gift from Momma and Pappa T. Jason McG, and Dustin came with me. We had a grand time, Dustin even won the game of 500 on the beach, even though I had a billion and a half points. We are home safe now so no worries, and we have a minivan! Holy smokes, I’ve never seen Joy so excited! She can’t wait to drive it around. Well, I”m going to bed now b/c my codrivers told me this morning they weren’t going to drive, and I thought they were kidding……

Nearest metropolis getting a face lift
Hearing the announcement a while ago that the LDS church bought a huge chunk of downtown, I wondered what they would do with it. A few days ago, they released the details. I found them to be amazing.
Quote: “A premier retail, office and residential development will rise on nearly 20 acres across three blocks in the heart of Salt Lake City over the next five years, making the city one of few in the nation with a vibrant, mixed development of this scale at its core.
Demolition of part of the site will begin early next month, starting in the northwest portion of the redevelopment area. A progressive wave of demolition will move roughly west to east, followed by excavation and site preparation that will take about a year.
As outlined by Bishop Burton, the project will include:
* Up to three national department stores to anchor a retail component that will include a complement of nationally recognized in-line retail tenants.
* New, refurbished and renamed office towers.
* New residential buildings.
* A full-service grocery store to serve a growing downtown population.
* The reopening or extension of historic downtown streets as pedestrian walkways through two of the blocks — Richards Street, Regent Street and Social Hall Avenue.
* Fountains and man-made streams to represent the historic South Fork of City Creek supplemented by approximately six acres of gardens and open space.
* Underground parking to accommodate some 5,600 vehicles “

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y’ALL*
Happy Birthday to Grandpa Lipps who turns 80 today
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GINO who turns 21.
*Sorry for the mix up earlier that it was Grandma’s bday, that one letter makes a BIG diff.
We had an exciting thing happen today. We officially got a second stroller! It looks like the one pictured, except the upholstery colors are pale yellow and cornflower blue/gray. See, we do already have a jogger stroller, but it’s rather big and bulky, so this stroller will be one that we can easily take places (supposedly it weighs 9-10 lbs.). It will be perfect for taking to the mall with Aunt Rachel! 😉 The lady we bought it from said she’s had 6 strollers at once before! We don’t need that many; two will suffice. But I am very excited about this acquistion, much more than my husband Pace is. I found this very gently used Peg-Perego product on Craig’s List for $85, but I offered $70 and got it! Yeah, baby! It normally retails for about $200 so I’m KINDA proud of this find. But anyway. I only look at Craig’s List about twice a day these days, so…. good thing I’ve bought 2 things off it to make it all worth my while!
Well, yesterday we revisited our soon to be house in the city that will remain un-named so Joy doens’t worry. If you want to see still pictures of the inside, check out McPhotos. After visiting again, it seemed the bathrooms were a lil bigger than I remembered, but the living room was smaller than I remembered; interesting how that happens! We are going to have so much fun being in a house!
Stay tuned for video (of our house in Canada ;)) that will be coming soon.
