After we sold our house we had about 5-6 weeks before our new build house would be ready for us to move in. Steph and Jon had just bought a 70 year old house with Tanner and Karlee near BYU campus. Their intent was to completely remodel it by January for Chase and friends to move in while going to BYU. Derek arranged for us to move in during that 6 weeks stent. It was quite the adventure with one teeny working bathroom for all 5 of us to share and constant demolition dust. The shower was so small that Derek literally could not bend over in it to reach something on the floor. If he dropped the soap, he would have to squat straight down to pick it up. Every shower seemed to be filled with curse words. I sometimes wouldn’t have an opportunity to use the potty until I got to work in the morning because someone persistently seemed to be on the one potty all morning long. However, we had a great time living so close to the stadium and walking to cougar canyon and football games and throwing tailgate parties. The kids also loved having Chase and Tanner and Uncle Jon and Steph stopping by every day to work on whatever project for the day. There was one night after a BYU football game that Derek and I stayed up till 2 am handing Tanner floor boards to lay down. Carter always wanted to help.
Liv loved that we were walking distance to a fun thrift store called Preloved and enjoyed walking there to shop for deals.
I enjoyed making snacks and dinner for all the workers (the Davidsons).
Liv made bean dip one night that everyone enjoyed.
Chase would frequently wonder in late at night and spend the night with us. The kids loved watching shows with him or finding him camped out on their floor in the mornings when they woke up. 
Lots of great times and good memories in the Provo demolition house.
Deer were always persistently running through the yard which was fun.
One weekend, Derek and I decided to fully zoobify the kids. We took them to eat at the cougar eat, shopped at the BYU bookstore, checked out the BYU library and showed them all our favorite old study spots. Then, we went bowling at BYU lanes and topped off the night with ice cream at the creamery on 9th.
