Still busy...

I know, I am horrible at updating right now. Sigh. So today you get no pictures just a quick list of things going on (in no particular order):
  • Most of my company from last week left. Ashley's father did pass away on Wednesday night. So they (Jonathan (who is Jared's brother), Ashley (Jon's wife), and their two kids Faith and Logan) left my house Thursday to go to St. George for the funeral.
  • Brad (Jared's Dad) and Tanner (Jared's brother) got here Thursday from Spokane (though their car broke down 11 miles from us, and we had to go tow them the rest of the way here).
  • Friday Lisa (Jared's mom) and Brad rented a car to get back home. But not until after Jared's Grandfather Nathan, and his wife Ruth, stopped in for a quick visit, and to see the house. (yes, there broken down car is still here. Right now it is parked in front of our house, waiting to be towed to a mechanics)
  • So as of Friday night around 7:00 p.m. all we have at our house is Jared's brother Tanner. We just today bought him a ticket to fly home on July 9th.
  • Ang (Jared's sister) and her family (husband Ryan, and three kids, Kathleen, Brandon, and Cody) are coming on Friday for a visit. Can't wait to see them!
  • Been SUPER busy painting. I told Ang that I would try to have the interior finished by the time she came. I got the guest bath done, and just have the second coat of paint on the living room/kitchen. But since I am behind a week, I won't have my bedroom, or the office done. But it just gives me something to do later.
  • Our landscaping OFFICIALLY was started today. HOORAY! They came and marked off all the post locations, and mowed down the forest of weeds we had growing in our backyard. Supposedly they said we will be done next Tuesday (on my birthday, what a great B-day present)
  • I'm sure there are more things that have happened the past few days, but I can't think of them, so that is all.

I met Brad the other day. I was having a game night at my house and he came over and I didn't think anything about it and he was like, "Your in 22nd ward? Did you know?" and I was like, "yeah, we use to hang out all the time untill those bums moved and now we don't have anyone to play cities and kights with", Thanks alot.

Wow, busy time. I am glad you are excited to see us, but don't stress yourself out with painting on our account. Really. Can't wait to see it though.

By the way, our landscaping was finished last year on my birthday. Funny coincidence.

Wow and Wow...that is a lot of people. That must have been crazy.
I agree with Chatzy, you are always such a gracious hostess.

Thanks so much for having all of us! You were perfect hosts. I wish I could see the paint and the landscaping. At least we will see the pics on the blog!
