Moving right along

My life right now just seems like it's moving right along. Timmy and I will be in our house in about 2 weeks. I am pretty excited. Our cabinets just got finished we cleaned out our garage and we are just about to start moving our stuff (into the garage). We ordered our doors and they will be here next Wednesday. Then all we have to do is paint our base boards and doors, have the guy come and hang them and then do carpet! YEAH!! It has definitely not been easy or cheap. I don't ever want to have to do something like this again talk about stress on the marriage. Thats okay it has been a great learning experience, and overall we have made great decisions. I will be done with school in a few months. We have been organizing our pinning ceremony and I am pretty excited about that. So far all I have to do is 6 hours of Community classes, and 8 full shifts on CVU. Then RN here I come. The next step is going to be finding jobs. Timmy and I right now have no prospects. We will be praying a lot. Hopefully I won't have to be a labor tech the rest of my life.

It is Painted (pretty much)

Here are some more pics. The first one's were taken just after the drywall guy finished and the rest are after we have painted. The whole house is painted except for a few closets and some touch up spots. The tile guy will be in today and hopefully finish up by Monday. We had lots of help from both of our parents as well as Christie and Moss. Painting Sucks!

House Update

Well we have all the lights in (some don't have bulbs in them) and all the electrical done. We just put in the insulation and will now have the sheet rock guy come and do his thing. Things are coming along hopefully I make the Feb. 20th deadline Trini has given me.

Our crazy life

I decided that christmas is over and I needed to change our blog. Of course school started again luckily this is our last semester :) Timmy will be graduating with his bachelors and hopefully will start to teach this fall. I on the other hand will be graduating with my 2 associates degree however this time as a Nurse :) I am really excited and will hopefully be working where I want to be. I just turned in my application for SUU bachelors program and will be hopefully starting the week I graduate. Timmy has been working really hard on our house and will be moving into it in about 2 weeks (I am throwing a bridal shower at my house on the 20). He has been a hard worker and after attending school 12 hours a day he has been going over and working on our house. He is finishing the electric work tonight and then we will be getting the dry wall finished and hopefully be painting by Saturday. School has been a little easier this semester but I will be starting my precepting soon and that will take up a lot of my time. Out of all this stress in my life I have lost 11 pounds and I am going to use this as my turn around in life. I am going to start eating healthier, exercising more and hopefully feel better about myself. The past few weeks have been really hard to handle just overly stressed, not feeling very positive and wishing that we were 2 months down the road. Have you ever felt that maybe your the only one going through what you are going through? Anyway thats enough of that. Hopefully in the next few days I wil post some pictures :)

More Updates

Well the wall and pantry are framed in and all the tile is out. Now it is time to do the wiring and plumbing.

Progress on Our Home

We started demo by taking out the kitchen on Wednesday the 6th of January

This is what it looked like after we got all the kitchen stuff out.

We came back Thursday night and ripped out a little more.

Friday night we took out the rest of the wall completing the demo of the kitchen.

We then moved on to the dining area. This is were we will be putting the new kitchen.

Trini's Mom and Dad came out and helped us on Wednesday night.

Trini's brother Riley Joined us Thursday night.

Two of our nephews Alan and Connor as well as my Dad came and helped us on Saturday.

Trini decided that she needed a picture of herself.

We will try to keep you posted on our progress as we get closer and closer to moving in.

our crazy life

Well since it has been about 4 months since we last blogged I guess I should update it a little. Timmy and I have been awefully busy with work, school and life in general. We just finished our third semester of school (yeah!! just one more to go people.)
The past 4 months here is a list of things that happened. Timmy's brother got married, which was an awesome experience, we were all able to go through the temple and go through a endowment setion for Nicole; in Vegas and then watch them get sealed in the St. George temple. Timmy took me to an awesome third eye blind concert; I have been wanting to see them in concert since I was in high school. It was really cool cause my sister Lena got to come we had such a great time. I turned 24; which wasn't totally exciting more or less another day passing by. My grandparents had a thirtieth anniversary party that I hosted; it was difficult to get everything ready I had some great help from my family, just wish all the family could have come, I know everyone was a little disappointed. My sweet 19 year old brother went to the MTC. This was something that I thought would be a lot easier. Watching him stand on the cirb with his 3 suitcases, wearing a new suit, he had this look on his face as if he was going to vomit. It makes them look so young. The hardest thing was watching my two brothers hug and say goodbye to eachother for the 4 years that they will be missing.
Sitting in church today I decided that Timmy and I have it pretty good. We both come from awesome close families and things in our marriage have been coming along pretty easy. So far thank goodness we have been able to live in 3 awesome places that are very inexpensive (first an awesome basement appartment, second green valley home where we basically lived free, and now at my parents house where we have been able to save.) We have also been able to save a lot of money and we have been cruising through school with awesome jobs that we both love. It makes you wonder when will our struggles come in to play? Having kids, finding jobs when we graduate? Timmy and I hope that as long as we stay doing the right things and stay close to the Lord our problems won't be that big.
On a lighter noteTimmy and I just bought our first house!! We are so excited and want to move in terribly. It is in Bloomington Hills around the park where I grew up. Our new address will be 1346 redwood tree street. cute huh? We decided that we want to update the house a little bit so we have contractors going through it right now getting bids together. We want to be in the house before Feb 1 because thats when our payments start. Sorry I don't have any pictures in yet but I will take some and post them soon. I am really excited to pick out all the tile, carpet, paint, counter tops, and cabinets. How fun is that after 3 years I finally get my own house that I can actually decorate. Even more exciting we are getting closer and closer to being able to start trying to have a family of our own.
