Super Saturday

This morning we woke to the first snow of the winter in our new house. It was kind of exciting. We've only gotten a skiff, but to us it was still exciting. It was also neat to know that our new home is well built and warm. The wind has blown all day and we've been cozy warm.


Today was also our Super-Saturday in our ward. Last week I was put in as the counselor over this. Needless to say, I had some stress. However it was totally unnecessary. The ladies that were over this activity had it together and under control. I was able to go and totally enjoy getting to know these ladies as well as others in our ward. I felt very at home and so welcomed. This is how it has been here since we moved in. We began attending this ward in May when we first moved to Tremonton and were welcomed with open arms. And now that we are in our home everyone is still so welcoming, kind and understanding (especially when I have to ask names 2 or 3 times). We are still getting to know names, finding out were who lives, etc. But it is truly home. I love it here.


This weeks project has been my back splash in the kitchen. It was fun, but pretty intense. Here are some pictures and I'm glad I only have the grout on the black left to do. I love doing these things, but I do tend to stress that they will turn out like I want when I'm done. I think this turned out pretty good. I'm happy with it. My project next week will be painting in my bedroom. I'll put more pics up after that is done.

No Rest for the Weary!!

So, we are finally in the house, and I must say it feels so great!! We've been in a week and most things are working. There are a few recepticals that we must have wired backward, but we will be fixing them this week. We've had so much help with this house and there are so many people that I am grateful to. My dad for one. I don't know what we would have done without him. He corrected all of our incorrect wiring problems and wired the house when we couldn't. My brother-in-law the plumber. He got our radiant heat up and running. And I must say that I love it!! We had great painters. They were some guys that work with Sam who paint on the side and they did a great job. We had Creekside Cabinets do our cabinets and I love them. I love spending time in my kitchen. We had Les Harah of Quentisentials do our tile work and he also made our concrete countertops! He put in alot of work and I have to say it again he did a great job! So needless to say I love our new home. We had a great contractor Mike Udy. He and his crew did a wonderful job from start to finish and I would recommend him to any and everyone! What a great guy.

So you would think I could kick up my feet and take it easy, then I take a look at the garage (it is so full of stuff). I can't believe that people can accumulate so much stuff! I say stuff, because for the past 6 months or more I haven't missed any of it. So I've come to the conclusion that if I haven't used or missed it, then the DI needs it more than I do. It is really a refreshing feeling. I open a box and if I haven't use or missed it while we've been in transition, I close the box and put it in the DI pile. That pile is really growing. But we're in our house and that's what counts. I figure at this rate I can go through most of the boxes by mid-November and maybe have some semblence of organization. My husband will really love this, because then he can park his car in the garage. That is a major goal, and I think it will be accomplished.

Thanks again to everyone that helped and for all of those whose support meant so much to us! We love and appreciate all of you!! I will post pictures soon, as soon as I get the boxes put away and you can see beyond the clutter! I'm lovin this!!
