Things are coming together
This past two weeks I have seen two bathrooms get tiled, The outside painting finished, Some inside painting done, Front door on, back door on, all interior doors and trim. I have been very blessed to have only a few things go wrong like the patch stucco looks terrible (there was lots of patching and wall fixing to be done) I followed Elder Uchtdorf's talk and slowed down stepped back and am taking a deep breath put a halt on painting and am hoping the drywall expert that is coming tomorrow can fix the problem. Many things can still be done outside of painting so we will take our time to get it right.
Saturday I woke up early and got many important decisions made like all the finishing plumbing, Back yard clean up arrangements made, Finalization on bathroom vanities with my cabinet maker and an idea of what to do for lighting. I felt blessed to have a productive day!! The Lord has helped me so much and I seriously could not do this without his help. I could not do it with out Mike either. He has been my cheerleader and sounding board and true support. I am so excited to see him this Thursday. The days and weeks are boring and lonely without him by my side. I am going home for Christmas and that sounds so nice!! I look forward to some down time and I will let Liz my realtor step in for a while and watch the project. Enjoy the pictures as you see the house come to life!!

Where has the time gone
I can't believe how the time has flown. I thought I would get to writing in this on a daily basis and that never happened. When I was living in Woodside Terrace I did not have the internet so I couldn't use my time very effectively in the evening.
Now I am living with some friends from 25 plus years ago. I use to clean her house when I was living here before Mike and I got engaged and I also lived in this ward when I was a missionary. The Eatons have been very generous. Jared is living in AZ with Tiffany for 3 weeks. He is practicing being a dad changing diapers and being very cute with Ginger and Benson. I will post some updated pictures tonight and hopefully catch you up a bit latter on details. (maybe?)
Above is some of the new windows and doors. Next is me using the sawsall. I really was much better at it than the picture shows.
