July 4th Photos

We spent the 4th of July with Marta's family down in Orem. The bbq was delicious and Beau was excited to see the fireworks. With this final push to get everything done in full-swing, it was nice to be able to sit back and relax to celebrate the holiday.

Moving In Day!

We have been waiting for this day for a long time now. We finally have moved in to our new space. The floors got their final coat of polyurethane on Monday, so after a few days of airing out, last night we finally moved our stuff around. The walls are painted, the floors are in and stained, and lights are in. Moving was a serious endeavor as everything has been stacked for months now, but it feels good to actually have this new space. These photos show the floor going in and then the finished floor. I'll get some move-in pics up next.

It's Been a While

Over two months since my last post. Unbelievable. It has been a very busy couple of months. I did all the electrical in our house and even passed the inspection on my first try. It's amazing how all plans change as you get going, but usually for the better. The house is now a complete dive. We have drywallers there this week so I went ahead and took out our living room dropped ceiling and the wall in between the living room and front bedroom. It will soon become a living room and family room once we can get it patched up. Ever seen the movie "The Money Pit"? Once the couch moved into the kitchen I had Marta and Beau go stay with her mom for a few days. I feel like I'm camping, but am able to get right to my second job after normal work. Tomorrow is 5 weeks away from twins - although that's the day that Marta would be induced if they haven't already arrived. Contractions have begun, but hopefully those are just the fake kind...I'm a couple of weeks of work away from these kids having a place to sleep. I guess there's always the couch in the kitchen for them!
