Finally…….Feeling Complete in Roosevelt!

Finally after 4 months of being in Roosevelt, I am starting to feel more complete!  We had been living with some friends of ours, for the last 4 months.  Finding housing in Roosevelt, is next to impossible.  We knew it was going to be difficult before we moved here, but we had no idea it would be as bad as it is.  Most people living in Roosevelt, have built their homes.  There is hardly anything available to rent.  The homes that are for rent, are super expensive.  There's also very few apartment complexes and things like that around here.  We began our search and came with up absolutely nothing.  I was really beginning to doubt our decision to move out here, when we couldn't find anything.
When we had first made our decision to move to Roosevelt, I had talked with my younger brother Tyson.  He had let me know that he had a friend that lived in Roosevelt.  So when our search of finding a place to live turned up nothing, I talked with Tyson.  I asked him if he would ask his friend if he knew of anything to rent in Roosevelt.  Tyson was our good luck charm!  Tyson's friend, just happened to be building duplex's that he was planning on renting out.  We were beyond excited at this point.  We talked with Tyson's friend, and set up an appointment to come and look at the duplex that was being built.  It was still in the early stages of being built, but we knew we had to have it.  A few weeks went by and I had contacted the landlord several times.  We were willing to do anything to make sure that the duplex was ours once it was done.  Finally, after a few weeks, and paying the deposit, it was guaranteed to be ours!  Then the waiting began.  At first we were told it would be completed by the second week of December.  The second week of December came and went.  Then we were told January 1.  January 1 came and went.  Finally on January 6, we paid the rent and were given the keys to our new place to call home.  We couldn't wait to begin moving in.  Josh moved all of the boxes and smaller stuff, in his Durango while I was working.  Then on that Friday, our moving crew (family and friend) thankfully came from Salt Lake to help us move. It was such a happy day!  First thing I did when we had everything in the house, was make the bed so that we could sleep here that night.  All of our belongings have been in a storage unit the entire time we have been here.  It is so nice to finally have all of our things under one roof.  I have never been so grateful to sit on my own couch and sleep in my own bed.  Every day since moving in, has been great! We love our new place to call home!
