Wake Me Up When January Ends.

How 'bout that for a welcome back?? I am sooo sick of this weather I could puke. It is booger-freezin cold here and even colder in Jensen. Where we're working OUTSIDE on the siding. Morgan is absolutely committed. Or should be committed to an institution for working out in it without a single complaint. He must be insane. And AWESOME.

Here's a little January re-cap
*Be a total blog slacker.
*Read too many books, all about murder.
*Attempt to begin taxes...YIKES. Kill me now.
*Fail drywall inspection.
*Two days later pass drywall inspection.
*Start siding.
*Play a little Boggle with the MIL.
*Have a mini-breakdown when we think the inspector's going to make us take down all the drywall to do an insulation inspection we didn't know we needed.
*Realize it's ALLL gonna be okay.
*Pick out carpet.
*Cabinet guy comes and does final measurements. Says, "3-4 weeks." I go. "YESSSS!" Morgan goes, "NO, not gonna happen. Dangit.

 

 

 

 


Pictures: in no particular order since I can't remember what order I put them in.
Morgan working on a ladder to side the house. Cute color, huh? I think it is super sharp.
Pictures of drywall. Very exciting. Some of them you can see the graffiti the inspector left us when he said, "You missed A LOT of screws." Hey, we're first-timers. What do you want.
The girls' little potty. I haven't used it. Or have I?

Yes, we're still hoping to move in in March. Why, are you going to come and stay with us, Arah?? Break in the guest room??

i really enjoyed this post for no particular reason except that it made me grateful that on top of all the crap i'm having to keep track of in my life right now, building a house isn't one of them. :) and you're funny... and i needed a good smirk. so thanks.

well, since we just bought a house, our Utah trip got postponed, but i am hoping to make it sometime in the near future...maybe with Julie and the kiddos. Brinely and Cody would love "dino land."
