Kevin's slice of internet pie.

About a year has passed since my last blog entry and everyone has been bugging me to update. When your job is moving and fixing websites you tend not to want to look at any more of them in your spare time. I’m going to split this into two posts the first being about my moves and former house, the second about my job change.

50 miles and two moves later, here I am in Provo. I never thought I would be living in Utah county, but I’ve been here for 7 months now.

It was torturous trying to sell my house in West Jordan, while living in 50 min. away in Orem, and working a new job at the same time, but with my the help of Keller Williams Realty and my agent Fonda Oliphant we got through it.

I loved my home in good ol’ WJ, but I tell you it’s good to live 10 min. from work especially with gas prices the way they are. Lets look back (or for the first time for some of you) at my former home.

I moved out of my house in West Jordan in advance of selling it, that way I figuered it could be cleaned up and not have to be kept clean. While this was true the drives back and forth for cleaning and fixing were a big hassle. The second and more serious problem was trying to get it sold while paying for the lease all by myself which more then drained me dry of money, it actually put me in debt, and I’m still catching up 4 months later.

From West Jordan I ended up in Orem. Utah valley or “happy valley” as it’s known. It was my friend Richie and his friend Kris all in a 2 bedroom apartment. I lived for about 3 months on a couch with the coat closet as my clothes closet and 90% of my belongings in storage.  It’s funny how humans can adapt to anything, and it was pretty hard getting used to sleeping on a regular bed again after the next move.

After Orem, my room mate Kris bought a townhouse in Provo, so Richie and I of course moved with him. I must admit this place is very nice, my own room, my own bed, a bathroom on every floor (it’s 3 floors high), and all that at 1/2 my former rent/bills. Richie and Kris even purchased a living room set that is so sweet, it was so nice that it took a while to get used to it feeling like my living room and not the living room of a friend’s parents, who would be very angry if you messed anything up. I will try to post some pictures of my current place as I get them.

So there you have it, 50 miles from West Jordan, the city I spent most of my life in, but feeling very at home in Provo, UT.
