Soooooooooo.......

We're SHEETROCKING!!!!! Isn't that amazing? I can't believe we're getting so close to the house being done!!! I am loving it! The staying home and making good meals a few days a week has been wonderful and just what I needed. I am sad that Phil has to go over every day but I think he just wants to get the thing done!

We are all doing good....no sickness. I had a good visit with my parents this week. It was nice to see them again. They probably won't be back to the Interior until Spring so we will have to stay in touch Via phone, e-mail, and Skype. The boys had the best time ever with them here and we actually saw Josh, Ang, and McKinley outside of church for a change!! hint hint!

I am excited about the Holidays and can't wait to start making candy for Christmas and all the goodies for Thanksgiving. I don't know how much of it I will eat but we'll see. Sugar isn't very appealing these days and actually makes me sick if I eat too much. That's is definitely a good thing don't get me wrong. I am just going to cut way back on my intake of it! I am doing a diet with Mom starting Monday and it will be hard but I think it will be really good for both of us. It's only for a week and then you continue to be good after the initial loss. So, not to bore anyone but I'm REALLY excited. I got my ipod shuffle this past week and can't wait to start running on the treadmill again and training for next year's North Pole Half Marathon. I was bummed I didn't get to run it with Ang this year but I had wayyyyyy too much on my plate at the time! So, next year......here I come!!!

Crazy Life!!!

I love my life!! It is crazy and wild with a house full of guys but how bored would I be without them? I love staying busy and getting all my chores done, cooking, cleaning, schooling, and all the other things that fall into my lap!

We have been busy at the house every day and getting lots done. Phil and I got the house insulated this week and he has been over working on other little things. I have been staying home on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and only helping on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday! It seems to be working out nicely!

We got the sheet rock delivered on Thursday so we will probably be working on that next week! It is SO exciting that so much is getting done and we are going to be moving in in no time!! Anyways, we survived the sickness and all seem to be doing SO much better! It is a joy to be healthy and you don't truly appreciate it until you are sick! That's all for now Folks!

Update on us!!

We have been SUPER DUPER SICK!!!! Someone has thrown up everyday since last Wednesday! We seem to be doing better so far but we'll see. Phil has been working on the house as much as possible and we have ALL the wiring done!!! YAY!!! Thank you Serre!!! Lance and Travis are planning on coming over later this week to finish up the plumbing and we are going to start insulating and putting up vapor barrier. We also have Ventilation Solutions coming out tomorrow to check out the HRV system. So, we're making progress and getting it done about when we wanted to! Not much else is going on....just the same ol' same ol'.
