Weekend Update

We have someone coming to look at the house in an hour. Aagh! Its been a mad dash. Our nephew, JJ, was blessed this morning so it was out to the Valley (35 minutes) then home again to clean, once the guy leaves we are heading out again for family dinner at Jeremy's parents. Yesterday was a quiet day, went into Costco to return a cooler, needed some applejuice so of course it cost us $100+ to go into the store to get it. Then Holly and Josh came over in the afternoon, they asked me to take their engagement photos. We got some cute ones! We went to the Eagle River Nature Center, it's only 20 minutes from my house but I've never walked it in the summer. Last time I was there, it was for OUR (Jeremy and I) engagement photos and it was literally 10 below zero. (farenheit , my friends) So, we took a couple photos and decided we'd work with what we got! Last night I took over 200! I decided it's fun, you can seriously be SO bossy! "OK, a little more smile..NO TOO MUCH! Just a little less, OK, head tilted just a bit..OK lose the hand! Lose the HAND!!" I had no idea what I was talking about but it was great. These are some of the cute ones we took.

So, tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday I'm OFF with PAY! Soo excited!

I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Fourth!

Our House..

is still not SOLD. We have had 2 people come look at it and both LOVED it but thought they needed more than 2 bedrooms. (Yeah.. a 2,000 sq. ft. house with only 2 bedrooms. We have the ability to have 3-4 bedrooms if we added windows in our "theater room" but we never did. Bad decision.) Soo, we've thought about putting the windows in, but we haven't reached that point yet. There is a couple that is moving here on July 11th and they are REALLY interested, they are fine with the 2 bedrooms, since they have no kids and will only be here 3 years as they are military. We may lower the price but not until this couple looks at it.

Anyways, here's some photos of what we've done to it. Befores and Afters. Please note the befores were taken when we were looking to buy the house, not after we moved in. I do not own pink towels nor do I believe in poofy valances.

The couple that couldn't make up their mind

Soo.. now my sister is saying that they are getting married up here in the Alaska temple. Bummer. I really wanted to go to Utah.

If he looks tall, that's because he is. Well, if you call 6'-7" tall. And I thought MY husband was tall.

I have to apologize to Jeremy for what I'm sure was nothing more than a rather sucky Father's Day. We have so much to do with our house/moving and are getting so stressed that he literally asked me at one point today if I by chance had any Crack. Fresh out, sorry. But, he gave me a good idea for NEXT Father's Day. Anyways, so I made him breakfast and then we spent the evening rushing between the two family's homes as we do every Holiday. I can't complain, we LOVE having family nearby. I didn't even have his present yet because when I tried to leave to go get it yesterday he said we didn't have time. I can't wait to be done with this moving. As if I didn't respect our military families enough as it is already, I have to say that moving brings on a whole new appreciation!

Hope everyone had a great Father's Day.
