Tom and I spent the day cleaning, and it has felt so good. The last two days were really rough for me. It all started Thursday morning around 1:00 am when I realized orientation started Thursday at 10:00 not Friday. Orientation was fine, but exhausting- far too many hours of being talked at. I came…

I’ve had a request for pictures. So I was a bit more diligent in taking pictures today, I just kept the camera in my back pocket and snapped through out the day as I checked items of my to do list. Here’s the pictures with a short description of what they’re of.This is one of…

Last night Tom and I were invited over to Marilyn and Jason Kiene’s house for dinner. We had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed the delicious food (cabbage rolls!), the great conversation, but most of all the much needed inspiration for our house. Marilyn and Jason bought a bank owned house a year ago and…

I was asked to speak in church on Alma 34:17-32. I gave the talk yesterday at church. I was a little nervous about it, as I don’t know many people in this ward. I had noticed last week that due to the large number of children in this ward, most people don’t seem to be…

I must say I have sorely missed not having my blog up and running this past week. I guess it is like the Chinese proverb quoted in “Under the Tuscan Sun” that says, “One who writes, lives life twice.” I certainly find that when I take the time to write a review of my day…

Friday I finished up scrubbing the walls in the dining room. I spent the rest of the day driving down to Kent and spending the afternoon and Evening with Erin Durham, Barb Huff, and Erin’s mom Gretchen. Erin was participating in the Kent/Blossom music festival all summer and Tom and I had really wanted to…

We have Internet and it’s fast! I have posted an obscenely long entry about the past weeks projects with lots of pictures. Enjoy!

We will be moving over the next few days and as a result the blog will be done, perhaps for a week or so as we arrange for Internet and the like.

I posted a bunch of before and after pictures. The link for the home blog is on the sidebar under the “blog roll” and under the “our business” link. Enjoy!
