The Kitchen

The Kitchen is almost complet and pics will be coming soon..... We just have a couple more coats of paint and a little mudding and we will be finished. Oh and we need to lay the carpet for the stairs. But I like to keep you in suspense.

The Kitchen Remodel

We knocked out this part of the wall and moved the electrical panel to the storage room in the basement.







This is the wall from the living room.


Where did our stairs go? Jake moved the stairs forward 3 feet to give us more space in the dining area.







Here is the new tile after it was laid. That was a workout for sure.









Before the tile was laid and after all the old tile was torn up. It was a mess!




We sold our stove, microwave, and kitchen sink on KSL.com and then replaced them all with new ones that we also purchased from KSL.com. I love KSL.com.

Spring Time

I just want to say that I am loving this weather. Everything is so green and lush and it just gets me all excited to start planting and digging in the dirt. As for our garden, things are starting to spring up. So far we have planted Raddishes, onions, peas and cabbage and they are popping up and Jake makes fun of me because I ask him to come take a walk out to the garden so we can see the plants progress. We also planted grapes and raspberries. MMMmmmm, raspberries! they are my absolute favorite. Thanks for the starts Mom and Dad.

Somthing Smellys Going On.

There are times that I just have to sit back and laugh at my crazy ideas and be grateful that I have a husband that is so willing to go along with them. This weekend I somehow talked Jake into filling the back of his truck with "crap" literally. We have mentioned before that we are planting a garden and what do gardens need? That right, manure. No garden could be complete without it. So we ventured off to a guy's house in Sandy and I watched Jake nervously watch this unknown man with a tractor load three big scoops of poop into our truck. It was super gross and steam was coming out of it. This was fresh stuff and you could smell it the whole way home. But the really good part was jumping in the back of the truck and shoveling it out into the garden. I had to put on a mask just to make it through the whole ordeal. Man, am I a nut or what? Hopefully the smell will go away soon!

The Family

This week for our Young Women's activity we discussed "The Family, a Proclamation to the World". As I sat and discussed what my divine role as a woman was with them and that God has a plan for me and a purpose for my existence, I can't help but be humbled. I am so grateful for my family and to have the opportunity to start my own. It may be taking longer than some wish, but I promise, that it will happen. Never in my life have I felt such an important role in Heavenly Father's kingdom and never have I felt that being a virtuous woman can be so powerful. So thank you Midvale East 6th Ward for helping my testimony grow as hopefully I help yours.
