Settling In

Claudia is finally in her new house! We moved her in on Memorial Day weekend and she has worked really hard to get everything unpacked in in place. There is still unpacking to do, but it is definitely a nice livable space.

This house is perfect for Claudia! It is three bedrooms (2 on the main floor and one downstairs) so she has enough space for herself and guests. It is all recently remodeled, so it is really a very nice modern/country sort of theme throughout the house.

I think that Claudia is really happy in her new space and very very happy to be out of the rental property that she was staying in. The rental had new issues every couple of weeks and a landlord that was slow to fix problems. So, it is wonderful that she is in her own space.

Improvements have already been made to the house. Claudia just purchased a nice flat screen tv for the living room that works great in the space. She also got a new furnace and air conditioner for her house so the house temperature is always exactly where it should be!

Claudia's house is close to the BYU stadium, so we are all planning a big 4th of July party at her house so that we can watch fireworks! We are all very happy that this move has finally happened. Claudia seems very happy to have this house of her own.

Claudia Has a House!

Claudia started house hunting about two weeks ago as she was very anxious to get out of the problematic rental house she is in right now. Matt and I (Becky) set her up with our friend who is a real-estate agent and she quickly found a house that she liked in Provo.

After putting an offer on that house, her offer was rejected. So, the search continued. The next house she went to look at was even better than the previous house, so she put down an offer and it was accepted!

The house is in Provo, in the neighborhood behind the MTC. It was built in 1959, but has been completely gutted and remodeled. Claudia loves this house and I love it too! All the insides are brand new and it is just the right size for her. There was an inspection yesterday and it went really well; there are no major issues with the house. So, she is scheduled to close on the house at the end of the month and will probably move some time in April.

Us children are all really excited for her! We all love the house and the location. Those of us with children really love the space in the basement for the kids to play and the big backyard. Going to Grandma's house is going to be a blast for the grandkids.

Oh, and for those of you who don't already know, Claudia is expecting two grandchildren this year! I am due next month and Kristy is due in October. She is very excited about her growing family.

January

Hi Claudia fans!

I know you are all dying to know how Claudia is doing, so here is a monthly update for you.

Claudia stays busy by spending lots of time with her kids and grandkids. We are all really glad that she is so close to us so that we can see her all the time. I think that maybe we might be smothering her a little, but she is a good sport and puts up with us.

Claudia enjoys using her Wii to watch Netflix and play games. She recently purchased a dancing game for the Wii and she and Anne seem to really enjoy dancing it out in front of the TV.

Though there have been multiple obstacles with the rental house falling to pieces, Claudia is keeping a positive attitude. We all hope that she will soon have hot water in the shower again.

I would report more, but alas that I don't get to see Claudia as much as I would like to and I am a little out of the loop.  But, she is doing well and is very taken care of.

Thanks for reading,

Becky Kimball (daughter-in-law to Claudia)
