Finished basement and More...

Well to all of those who are waiting for pictures of the basement, it is finished, but quite the disaster zone, we have stuff everywhere... Its such a mess.

I will get pictures up as soon as it is somewhat presentable. But for now, you will all have to wait!

In other news...

For those of you who don't always check Jake's Blog, you should. There is some very exciting family news on there. (Yep, that's right, we are pregnant!) We are very excited, I am a bit terrified of the whole having a baby thing, but I am sure when we get to that point, I will be ready for it... at least for it to be out... I haven't been really very morning sick, kind of an all around sick, but so far now throwing up or anything. My sense of smell is insane, its kind of annoying, except for the fact I can't do the dishes... That's nice, Jake is so sweet and he does them! Other than that my main thing is being tired and hungry too frequently... And pretty thirsty, for water of all things. My first appointment isn't until the 3rd of April which is getting closer but still seems too far away.

Anywho, I can't really think of anything else to say in this post... I will update soon!

Sorry to be a slacker...

So I have been back from Connecticut since Saturday, but have been totally busy with work and moving and being tired to update anything.

So I have tons of pictures from my trip to put on here. We had so much fun in Connecticut and New York, it was a blast as you could read from Hill's blog.



Here are the pictures, I hopefully will get on and put captions on, but here we go for these at least!

Connecticut Update

Hello everybody! I wanted to let you know that you should look at Hillary's blog, she's put some pictures on of the fun things we've done. I forgot to bring the cable to plug in my camera so all my pictures will be put on when I get back to Salt Lake!

Also Jake might be updating his blog soon with pictures of our nearly done basement! All that's left are closet doors! Yeah!!!

Connecticut

Well I am here now! I made it, my flight was great, the drive from the airport to the Hill's place was long, the buildings in New York are so cool to see in real life! I am so excited to be here.

I started reading Twilight on my way here, its an awesomely addictive book! I am excited to see what happens.

I will post pictures on here when I get a chance, it will probably be when I get home.

Also an update on the basement. The bath tub in installed and fully functional with the shower and bath fixtures in place. Its awesome. We also have countertops now, they are a pretty laminate - the installation was very smelly, but they look great. Jake and I got to pick out the tiles for the back splash, they are really cool and coordinate nicely with the rest of the basement decor. It will probably be finished this week and for sure be done when I get back from Connecticut. Yeah for our own space!

Exciting Events!

Well my license is coming in the mail finally! I even am able to print a verification of license from the internet!!! Its so exciting!

Yet more exciting is that Steve (Arveseth) is going to Brazil for a week for work, and I am going to CONNECTICUT!!! for 10 days!!! I am leaving on Thursday of next week and coming home the Saturday March 1st!!!

Basement 2/5

I am having a hard time keeping up with the changes, they are pretty big dramatic and beautiful changes! So here are some out dated pictures of what's going on down there!
Half are Tuesday before work and the other half are after work and on Wednesday

February 1 Basement Pictures...

Basement 1/23

Basement 1/16

Well I guess I complained a couple days before things started getting better. They painted! I think they will be leveling the floor in the kitchen area today and maybe even starting to tile, Gerry and Janet picked out and purchased the tile last night! The carpet people are coming either this week or next week (I think) and I think the cabinets have kind of been picked out, they will be from IKEA - and match the pretty doors we will have down there, the bead board. then the appliances are just waiting to be delivered when ever they are ready to be installed. So maybe its going to be done sooner than we were thinking. I think they have been paid and have a job coming up after they finish here so they are more motivated to get it finished! YEAH!!!!

Here's some pictures from this morning.

It's been a while...

Well I have been so busy with changes in work and life that I haven't really had time to update my blog. So here we go.

I changed jobs at the end of December and am now working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at Smith's from 9-7, they are long days but its pretty nice to only work 4 days a week. I am really enjoying my job and the work I do. I went down to DOPL the other day and got my finger prints done - electronically, it was cool. I turned in my application and paid my $99.00 for the licensing application and processing. Hopefully within a week or two I will be able to pull my licence numbers off the Internet at get the raise at work and really become a fully fledged pharm tech.

The basement... Is dragging and taking forever. They are so slow. They are painting this week and the carpet is scheduled to be installed this week, maybe... But they haven't done anything in the kitchen for finishing work and the bathroom isn't any more completed... I was hoping we'd be down there by now, but I am thinking its probably going to be March before it gets all finished. Also when it started being done we were under the impression that we'd have some say in what it looked like, but it turns out that our opinions or desires don't matter - not to the builder or the in-laws. So its going to be how they want it. I have resigned myself to it, and will just have to live in it like I would any other apartment and I will keep waiting until I have a place of my own. I just hope they will hurry up and get it done so we can move down there. (I am a bit claustrophobic)

I shouldn't complain, I am very lucky to have in-laws that will let us rent their basement from them and I am grateful to them for everything they have done for us.
