President Monson wiggles his ears...

I was searching for a video for my lesson, and came across this cute video clip of Pres. Monson...

I love how down to earth he is even though he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. I am so grateful for having a modern day prophet!

Drywall :)

I am so so so excited! The drywallers came yesterday morning, and are finishing up the downstairs today..... Yeah!! Here are a few pictures...
When you walk in our front door it is all open.. Living room, dining room, and kitchen...

This is the entry to the mudroom/ laundry room.

Easton was so excited, he kept saying "Look what dad's friends did... they built walls!" It was so cute...

This is in our bedroom looking towards the door.

Master closet.

Looking into the master bathroom.

Looking out of the master bath into the master bedroom.

I can't wait until they get it textured, so we can start painting... then floor, and cabinets...

Yeah we will have a house again... lol!

There is beauty all around....

I have been aching to go take some pictures out here for a while now, but just haven't taken the opportunity. I knew Court wasn't going to be home tonight, so I went and grabbed my camera, and off we went. I have to say that I have fallen in love with where we live. It is gorgeous! I love the drive, I love everything about it.... here are just a few pictures to give you a small sample of what we enjoy...
Don't you just love rural America!



I got so lucky on this one, and captured the suns rays...

I love the beauty of winter, but can't wait for spring.....

Awesome site!

This is just going to be a really quick post, I just wanted to tell all of you to go check out this fairly new site, it is www.ldsjournal.com. It is amazing, I am so excited about it. I think it will help me keep a more accurate, and up to date journal. They have pre written questions about different subjects, that you can click on and journal about at anytime, and then a place where you can journal for the day.... Check it out!

Good deal on Carpet.....

I can't believe we are finally getting close to moving in. I am sure we have at least a month left, but is so exciting to be able to see it getting closer and closer. We have our drywall scheduled for next Wednesday, then come the kitchen floors, paint, and carpet.
This is where the good deal on carpet comes in, I was wondering if any of you have found a place where you can get a medium to high grade carpet for a deal? I am sure so many of you who have built houses, have went through this, when you get towards the end the money starts to dwindle.. lol But I really do want a nice carpet, especially for my downstairs, and up the stairway.. I have heard of people finding places that get them straight from the manufacturer and can sell the carpet to you in big bolts, and we have a friend we can pay to install it. Or if any of you just know of a place that has really good prices, let me know. If any of you are building, or remodeling... let me know as well if you are looking for a good deal, we have been very blessed to find quiet a few while we have been building, and I would gladly pass them on.
Thanks for any help.. :)
I will post updated pictures really soon, I just wanted to get the drywall done first.
