The month of April was incredibly busy. So, be prepared for a LONG post to get up to date on the life of the Rognans.
- April 1: Distressed because the lock on our loan would end the next day and we didn't have our Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) yet.
- April 2: Received C.O. and hurriedly turned in all of the paperwork to close our loan. Usually it takes two or three days to close but we were hoping that the bank would have pity on us and let us keep our 4.875% interest rate.
- April 2-5: Cameron's family (Mother, Father, 2 Sisters, and Brother-in-law) came for a visit.
- April 3: Cameron's 31st birthday.
- April 3: Moved into our house. This would normally not happen until after closing on our loan (since the house technically wasn't ours yet), but we had it in our contract that we could move in and pay rent as soon as we had the C.O. Since rent was only $16.50 a day this was a VERY good deal.
- April 3-4: General Conference
- April 3-present: Trying to get the house organized.
- April 4: Had Cameron's favorite cheesecake and sang happy birthday to him. He told me not to get him a gift this year because his gift was the house (I better get a REALLY good gift for my birthday!)
- April 5: Found out the bank would not let us keep our lock. We lost the good interest rate. Waiting to see what the new interest rate would be.
- April 6: 6 week postpartum doctor appointment.
- April 6-8: Evenings spent cleaning out our old apartment.
- April 8: Received the numbers from the bank. Our interest rate is 5.25%; however, the bank, knowing how disappointed we would be, gave us a discount on the closing costs.
- April 9: Signed our lives away to the bank.
- April 9: Bought a washer and dryer.
- April 9-17: My family comes for a visit during their break from school (2 brothers and a sister).
- April 9-17: Free slave labor! ;)
- April 10: Our first time attending our new ward.
- April 13: Our loan came through. The house is ours!
- April 13-14: Hurriedly finish taxes. Most of it was already done. We were waiting until we closed on the house so that we could get the federal housing credit.
- April 15: Took my family hiking in Snow Canyon.
- April 16: Another brother joins the family visit.
- April 17: Took my family hiking in Zion National Park courtesy of National Park Week (All of the national parks had free admission that week).
- April 22-23: More family visiting (My sister, brother, brother-in-law, and two nieces).
- April 23: Doctor Appointment for Brianna with the specialist from Salt Lake City (her foot is a little crooked but all is well and it should heal on it's own).
- April 23: Took my family hiking in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve
- April 23: Drove to Salt Lake City to visit Cameron's family.
- April 25: Rachel's baby blessing (niece).
- April 25: Brianna's baby blessing
- April 25: Drove home.
