Getting There!!!

Well the kitchen cupboards came in and were delivered Monday and the install started yesterday. They are looking really nice. The countertop guy came early this morning to measure for the template and informed me that the countertop will be installed on July 3 next Thursday,which is much sooner than originally I had been told. I am so happy to see the kitchen finally coming together. I have the dining room about halfway painted and will finish it as soon as the kitchen people get done. So I get a few days break from the kitchen. Yeahhhh!!.
I get to go to book club tonight. We read My Sisters Keeper by Picoult. It is a really good book but rather a sad story. It really makes you think about the way that you treat each of your children and why you had them in the first place. I would recommend it to all. I am now reading a series of books called the #1 Womans Detective Club. I have read three of them now and they are so sweet. The main character in each of the stories is so sweet and really tries to do the right thing. They are written about life in Africa and the main character is a woman from Africa. They are very good and uplifting.
I get to go to a baby shower for my nephews girlfriend, Keri, on Saturday. She is going to have a girl the end of July and they are going to call her Cassiday June. They are planning on getting married soon, which makes me very happy for them.
Well I had better get to work. bye now.

Catching Up!!

I have been really busy the last few weeks. I did not realize that it had been so long since I had blogged. The kitchen is progressing slowly but surely. The wall is completed and all of the new cam lights are installed. The wiring is almost completed. We have run all of the wire we just need to hook it into the main box. I have all of my new appliances, flooring, lights, sitting in the garage and the new blinds. The cabinets are so supposed to be installed next Wednesday and then the countertop about 10 days later. I am so glad that everything has worked out and that Paul and I were able to do the most of the work ourselves so that it saved us tons of money that could be put towards the cabinets and countertops that we wanted. I will be ripping up the rest of the kitchen floor today. The only hard thing is that we have no kitchen right now. It makes it a little difficult to make meals. Oh well, cereal and sandwiches are okay for awhile.
I just got back from my annual sister trip. We went to Tremonton to stay at Susan's house. Blain and the kids came to Idaho to go camping with Paul. They had a great time. My sisters and I did some shopping in Park City. We played Wii alot and went walking and visiting. Paige stayed with us and was such a good baby. We drug her everywhere and she just kept on smiling and laughing at us.
We have been able to play basketball with Clayton and Danielle the last two Sunday afternoons. This is so wonderful because even 3 months ago this would have been impossible for Clayton to even attempt. You can just see the improvements in his health and his happiness at being able to doing some physical things without the intense pain.
I was able to ride my scooter to work today and I loved it. The weather has been really nice and warm for the last few days. Yeah!!!
Well I had better get to work. Bye now.
