Morph fun...

I was playing around on that site that I got the other blog post off of and check this out. I think this one of Kailye and Kate Bosworth is scarry. you should see the side by side. They look almost exactly alike.

This is what it came up with for me...LOL. They obviously do not do the full body morph.

I think most of you saw this one coming. Look who it came up with for Michael....SHOCKER!

Look-A-Like

I tried the look-a-like with a baby picture of Kk and it said she looks 19% more like her dad. What The?

Wha does Kk look more like?

So I stole this from Maren. I think it is funny. Apperently KK looks equally like both if us. It was cute to see who she looked more like. I tried it three times with different pictures and they all came out 50/50. Everyone always tells me how much she looks like Michael. Funny eh?

Sad.

I'm kind of mad at Michael's friend Toa. We got him a dog when we got our dog because he said he wanted one, but a week and a half ago animal control came to pick him up. Toa tried to tell him it was his dog but he wouldn't listen. He thought Toa was trying to protect the neighbor's dogs and he was arguing with Toa that it was a pit-bull. The dog obviously looks like a lab. There is no pit-bull in him. But he took him anyway. Well Toa never went and picked him up so Michael and I were just going to go get him and keep him but I called the Shelter today and they have already adopted him out. He's too cute I figured it was a long shot. I thought even if we didn't keep him Art and Steph would like him or someone else we know. Marley is on the left and Lamanah is on the right.

I'm so sad. Although, I am happy he went to someone who will take care of him instead of Toa. The lady at the shelter said I should still come down and look just in case. He was so cute and such a good dog. Marley and him were always so cute together. Oh well. Wow that was a longer post than I was going to put here. Oops.

New pictures.

I took new pictures of the family room. I still need to hang some things on the wall and get them off the back of my couch.

This is a picture looking toward the front window. This picture is looking toward the front door...obviously.
This is the view from the front door. Okay actually from the side of the couch, but it's near the front door.

From behind the couch.

So far my kitchen and my family room are almost completely put together. I need to hang all the stuff above Michael's desk so after I do I'll post those pictures. Then it is on to the bedrooms. They both need work. Especially Kailye's. Hopefully this weekend.

I want to post pictures of our yard but I haven't taken any, so maybe this weekend on those as well.

Today has been one of those days. I woke up late AGAIN this morning and didn't get to work until 10am...Yea I should have been here at 7am...Now I get to stay until 6PM! YAY!

Okay so back story on the sleeping in:

I went home from work yesterday and grabbed all my and Kailye's shower stuff and then headed to Walmart...We were in need of some food. After Walmart Kk and I went up to this house and took a shower...yes mine is still not done, don't ask..okay you could ask and I would tell you..it's still a mess. Then we headed home. We made dinner and a very yummy apple crisp (thank you mom & Kk for forgetting her apples for Johny Appleseed's Birthday at school) Michael came home just in time to eat it all. It used to be that I would cook and he would do the dishes but he has had so much to do lately that I now do both...must I remind you people I have NO dishwasher...UG! (I dedicate that Ug to Will :) So I now do 3 loads of dishes a day...really 3...how could we possibly use that many dishes? I think Michael got the better end of the deal on the dishes at mom's.

After dinner we put Kailye to bed and Michael went to return a Mason Saw to a friend of mine and then he headed to Lowe's. I think in the past few weeks we may have kept Lowe's in business...haha. Well as soon as Michael left at 8:30 I fell asleep. Yep DEAD asleep. I woke up only briefly at 10:30 to stumble toward my bead from the couch, while stubbing my toe on that stupid flooring that sticks out from the kitchen...Iknew I'd hate that. Michael came home at 11 and woke me up but he just kept talking so by the time he was done I was wide awake...I should really try to get my schedule back on track now that Kailye's is. Yea so I didn't go to bed again until 3:30..Stupid Chelsea Lately. This probably would have been fine had I not almost had a heart attack at 4 in the morning. I woke up..no just opened my eyes, and saw Kailye standing there staring at me. It was like waking up to a twisted horror film in my bedroom. I just about wet my bed...SERIOUSLY! I must have made quite a face because she started to laugh at me. She had woken up for the day...yea right. Crazy kid...I think she's not quite used to sleeping normal hours yet. What do you think? So at 4 in the morning she crawled into bed with Michael and I and we all went back to sleep. Michael and Kailye got up and left at 7am and I was going to get up right then but I fell right back to sleep....THUS I was really late for work.

Okay so since I got nothing done yesterday I now have lots I can do today to make up for it with a minus 3 hours that I have to stay at work. Oh joy. Plus I am really mad I didn't get to go run...I'll try again tonight.

It was a pretty eventful night last night and I'm betting that Kailye will be very fun when I go get her from grandma's tonight. Again Oh Joy! Michael and I do have a very ambitious list of to do's for tonight: replace the kitchen sink and install the disposal..oh yea another joy while doing dishes..., go through all the stuff in the garage and bring everything that goes inside in, make our return pile (Ikea, Lowe's, Home Depot, Target, Walmart...etc.), get all of our clothes put away..hahaha--we so don't have enough closet space...they are taking up half of my family room..., and get Kailye's room put together. We'll see what we can get done. Cross your fingers...yea the other day I said figures...yes do everyone try to cross your figures...haha..wow--this is so much longer than I meant it to be--okay I really have to go now. Bye.

I got home from work last night to a messes all over my house so I did not take anymore pictures yet. Michael and his friends are trying to get the tile done so we can have a shower...yea..not done yet. They did get up all the backer board and Michael went and got most of the cuts done he needs for the tile. Hopefully he won't be to tired tonight when he gets home from work and he can start getting the tile up on the walls.

I'm kind of happy he went back to work today because I really need to get so much done at the house and with him there everything just gets all messy as soon as I clean it. I'm hoping I can get Kailye's room put together today, get all the clothes put away...Michael and I are using all 4 closets, Clean the kitchen up, clean the floors, put up the wall hangings in the family room...oh wait...I tried to hang the curtain rod last night and that did not go so well maybe I better leave the wall hangings to Michael, do the last two loads of laundry, and....drum roll please...go on a RUN! I have been working really hard at the house lately so I wasn't walking or running but I am not so much anymore so I need to get back on it tonight. Maybe Steph will go on a walk with me tonight (wink ;) wink ;) before I take a shower up at mom's house. I feel like it is a habit now and last night I wanted to go running so bad but Michael was up helping Bobbie and Jeremy move and Kailye was sleeping. Oh man it used to be so convenient at mom and dad's.

Speaking of Kailye...She has been quite a pill the past few days. She spent a week being tossed around from Grandma to Grandma and baby sitter to baby sitter. Needless to say she was thrown off just a bit. I feel like she is starting to get back to normal. She gets a "little" ADHD when she is not on a schedule. I am getting her bedtime closer to normal, last night she was in bed at 8:30 so hopefully tonight we will be back to 8. She has also been eating at home more which is helping a lot. When she eats out she gets so much junk in her it throws her off. Eating healthy helps her to focus soooo much better...wierd I know someone else like that. She is still a bit of a pill but the poor kid has been through it in the past two weeks.

Well this post ended up so much longer than I intended and after reading over it it sounds a bit depressive....I'm am not depressed, stressed, unhappy, any of that. So I'm not sure what happened...oh well love you all bye.

TV

The TV had a commercial for a weight loss drug on it....You FREAKS!!! LOL. Like I would really be watching anything questionable...and if I was why wouldn't I turn it off before I took a picture.

I need to post more pictures today. We got our couches this weekend and Michael is going to hang some cute wall stuff for me so it is going to look so different today. I'll do more later but I have to get back to work.

the long awaited pictures...

These are the old house...before we bought it. yes that is LIME GREEN!!!

Old bathroom...now my new bathroom is not better yet..but cross your figures that Michael gets it done this weekend.

Now the colors in these pictures seem muted but let me tell you they are not. The color in the family room is a peach color..UG.

We didn't do much to the kitchen except paint. It was in okay shape.

This my new kitchen. Thanks to Art it looks awesome.

I love this family room color it is a disaster but I really like it.

This is my new bathroom...LOL...yea seriously isn't it lovely. This is actually the picture of the old plumbing. the new plumbing is much better.

This is the before picture of Kailye's room. Michael and David did a great job on the wood work. It looks great.

This next section is all picture that Kailye took at Kari's Baby shower...I love the world through her eyes.

This is Kik at 7 months Preggo. I put this up so she can steal it for her blog....Look at that food spread. It was great...so yummy.

All the fun stuff...lol

Yesterday was a good day. I went to work and worked a little harder than I thought. Which is good considering I have to pay for our house and all that goes with. After work I went home and took a nap for a minute knowing Michael & Kk would be home soon and wake me up. Well Michael and Kailye came home left again and came home again and did not wake me up. I slept from 4-8:30...Ug. Well I woke up with lots of energy so I cleaned up my kitchen and straightened a few things. As I was re-stacking the boxes in the family room I noticed that they a few of them were open...oh wait...not just a few...all of them. Then I went to the garage and all of those were open also. What the?...So I asked Michael...

me: "What happened?"
Michael: "I needed to find the DVD player"
me: "Seriously...why?" thinking to myself, the TV in the family room right now has a DVD player on it.
me: "every box was labeled with exactly what was in it."
Michael: "yea I know I checked all the labels twice before I started opening them."
me:"So why did you continue to open them?"
Michael:" Well I thought maybe it wasn't labelled right"
me:"...uh huh?...so where did you find the DVD player Michael?"
Michael:"In our room in that basket that is sitting out"
me: "weird"...input sarcasm here.

So after I got that all cleaned up we got Kailye's room cleaned up so she could sleep in there. She was very happy to be in her room. I still need to paint the purple in there tonight before I get the rest of her stuff in. I also got some of our laundry done. In our very loud washing machine...oh well it works.

Micheal is going to start on the tile for the bathroom tonight..Yay! I have a friend at work who's husband is a mason and he let us borrow his brick saw for our tile. I'm so glad I have friends in construction it makes some of this stuff cheaper. Hopefully we will get the tile in tonight so we can grout tomorrow and seal it on Monday. Cross your fingers.

Well I need to get back to work. I really will try to post pictures later. Bye.

Yesterday was very stressful and I am trying to stay very positive about the whole thing. The move has not been stressful...I don't find moving all that stressful...but the rest is. I went home last night feeling just awful and it makes me very grateful to have somewhere to go to get away from everything and a husband who is sooo understanding of how I feel. I'm sure its just PMS. Last night I wished Katy was here so bad. Katy and I were very close in high school, as much as we fought we were still best friends. Last night I wished she was here. But it was also too late to call her. I'm glad I'll get to see her and that kid of hers this weekend...if we have time. (Michael's cousin is getting married)

I'm just drained. I am not dealing with things very well right now. I think I am going to go home tonight and dig into getting my house put together...I like doing that. I would write so much more to explain but I think I better keep that for the personal entries.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAXTON!!!!!

Home... : )

It just hit me today that I am HOME. We are loving our new house. We went and got the rest of our things from mom and dad's tonight...except the grill...yes mom I am taking it and my fruit basket... and the curtains we forgot about...and now our house is a disaster. I'm not worried about it though. Everything is easily accessible and will get put away eventually. I have lots of pictures to post but it's late so I don't want to load them all tonight.

We went to JC penny tonight because there is one in Salt Lake closing and everything is 60% off and then another 15% off plus Michael's aunt works there so we got another 20% off. I got mom some really beautiful dishes that match her kitchen...okay actually mom got them I bought her 1 package for Christmas. We also found some really beautiful things for our house...some wall hanging, a big mirror, dishes,and a very large beautiful rug for our front room...much needed. It was originally $220 and we got it for $50....WOOHOOO! I love sales. Our receipt said we had over $1000 in savings and went spent sooooo much less than that....like I have an extra $1000 laying around...really.

We still have a trailer full of stuff in the drive way that Michael will need help unloading...it's full of the big furniture. We also still have no bathroom...Michael needs to do the tile. We have been taking showers at mom and dad's but I think from now on we will go down to Leeana's until the bathroom is done. We also need to finish painting Kailye's room....mom and I did the white painting tonight but there is still a lavender that is going around the top...I'll show pictures of the amazing job my husband and Uncle did on the wood work. It's exactly how I wanted it.

Well I need to get to sleep so I can wake up in 4 1/2 hours to go to work...Bye.

House

Last night was the first night Kailye slept in the house. She was so excited all day but when we finally got home she was already dead asleep. We went up to the house last night and got almost all of what was left of our stuff. It filled the trailer again. We have so much more stuff than I thought. We still need to paint Kailye's room and Michael is going to get the tile in the shower today. YAY!!!. (Holly i'm still working on him :) I went I got some food for our house yesterday so we will quit spending money eating out. It is costing us so much money to do that. Grandma, Steph and Bobbie came over to the house yesterday and put my whole kitchen away. It was so nice last night to have everything right where it should be. I still need to do the rest of the house but I need to unload my furniture from the trailer today to do that. I need to get back to work but I'll try to post later. Bye.

House stuff

This weekend was sooooo busy. I'm exhausted and still not even close to done. Michael and I have worked an average of 12 hours a day since last Friday. Michael, Steph, Art, Mom, Me, and Marjorie got almost all the painting done. After we got into the house last week Michael decided we needed to re-do the bathroom so out went the tub and all the drywall around the tub. I have a friend from work, Marjorie, who's husband is a plumber and he came and put the piping in for a shower head and fixed all the old plumbing. It is looking so nice. While he was doing the plumbing Marjorie helped the rest of us paint. She does it all the time at her house and she was very speedy. Art did all the trim around the ceilings and the whole kitchen and it looks awesome...I'm sure he was really looking forward to being home for a weekend to paint my house...sorry Art.

Michael, Dan, and David got all the wood work up in Kailye's room. It looks so cute. I will have to post pictures later because we don't have the Internet set up at our house yet. I still need to paint Kailye's room and she is very excited to be able to help with that. My poor child...I haven't seen her for more than an hour since last Wednesday. But she is going to come to the house today to help Grandma and I put the kitchen together and get things unpacked. YAY.

Yesterday we got almost all of our stuff packed and put into the trailer. With a lot of help from Leeana, Natalie, Chandler, mom, and Steph. We took a load down to the house last night and unloaded most of it. I will need to unload the rest today so Michael can take the trailer back up to the house to load the big furniture tonight. We still have to go up to the house to take showers because ours is well non existent right now. Michael needs to put in all the tile still so Duane, plumber friend, can come put the fixtures on. i think he was going to start that tonight or tomorrow.

Well I need to get back to work so I can leave to get all this stuff done. I still have lots of moving to do. hmmm...I wonder who is going to help Michael move all of the big furniture into the trailer...I guess I should figure that out also...peace.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ART & STEPH!!!!

Just Pictures

These are all the pictures that I was going to post of the spa party and the backyard swimming excursion. Here is Kailye trying to climb the waterfall.
Look how skinny Steph is getting.

Kailye & Parker telling me they don't need baths. They are taking one in the waterfall.

Marley and Lamanah. They are so big.

This is from the spa party. Zannie painted them even though she is a ByU fan.

Kailye making a kissy face after she got her make up done at the spa party.

Run & House

Yesterday I came home to find my brother home. I was so excited. I didn't realize how much I missed him. I knew I would really miss Steph when she moved to Mexico but I didn't know I would miss Art as much as Steph...sorry Art I like her better than you. :P I think this picture is the cutest.

Steph and I went on a walk last night and after spending the previous night looking through a box of old pictures I decided the walks are just not going to cut it. Last night we ran the straights and walked the hills. Now our hills have a 8-13% incline. I fell like I did so much more this time. It is great. i still have a very long way to go but I'm starting to notice the form coming back in my hips and thighs....YAY!

We went and closed on our house yesterday. I'm so excited. I was so happy when we found out our loan was going to go through it was such a relief. Than I immediately thought of everything I need to get done. We are going to paint the entire house, put the tile in the shower, change the front and back doors & locks, and get a microwave hood. On top of that we need to fix our armoire so we can put kk's clothes in it. We need a dresser for our room, a book shelf for the family room, and I'm so sad that our table and chairs we got from Grandma & Grandpa Coombs are too big to fit in our kitchen so we need that also. I will be so glad when we actually have a dining room we can put the big table in...I really like it. But I am so grateful that everything worked out so well with house. It's really such a blessing. It will be a struggle for a few months until we learn to adjust but I'm so happy to be in our own place It's really weird to think I've never lived outside of my parents house.

Well I've got to get back to work so I can pay for all this stuff....Peace.

.Waterfall.Bunnies.House.

I have so many pictures from the kids playing in the waterfall the other day but I'm at work and can't load them...I'll do it this afternoon. Michael's friend, Toa..pronounced 'doh-ah' for those of you who don't know him..I just think it's funny..my friend says he sounds like a sound affect, anyway he brought over his dog which is Marley's brother. Lamanah(Sp?), lamonite(sp?..again) in Tongan, is huge. He is so much more muscular than Marley. I have a very cute picture of the two of them. I'll post it later. He was over with Michael and a few other friends to form up the concrete in dads yard. While they were there Bobbie discovered why Max doesn't like Marley. He's racist! He barks like crazy at Michael's Tongan friends and when Bobbie started to think about it he apparently does at everyone who is not white. So...we think maybe that is why he doesn't like Marley...she black...lol. I think it's so funny but it does make sense. Max is a gay, racist dog. I'll let Bobbie explain the Gay part.

So Killer Bunnies has been fun but I'm a little Bunnied out. So here are the high lights which unless you were there or read everyone else's blog you may not understand.

"Oh Buck"..poor Carrot..he never saw it coming.

"you FREAKING crazy guy!"...oh man dad is slow at this game.

Mr. I've had 4 Cokes..why are you all so tired.....seriously Michael was a little Hyper..I know you are all thinking 'Michael hyper?'

"What, what, what, what, what, what..."...oh steph that picture is embedded in my head..LOL!!!!

Will: "NOOOOOOOO"...after losing his only bunny he'd been waiting for, for 7 hands to a freak play where it was handed to dad.

Oh the bunnies were fun. Although it still totally reminds me of the game off of FRIENDS, Bamboozle. No real rhyme or reason.

So we are closing on our house today at 4...YAY! I'm so glad to be able to move in. I was getting a little nervous about getting out of mom's before Bobbie moves in...Oh man that would have been fun. Although Steph, Bobbie and I have decided with out our husbands it would work okay. WE all get along fine. Hopefully we will be bale to get done what we need to this weekend on the house and get moved in. There is kind of a lot to do...plus I am throwing Kari a baby shower this weekend with Natalie so for half the day on Saturday I'm no help. Tonight I need to get the rest of the packing done and start to CLEAN mom's house..UG! it's yucky.

Well I better get back to work...love you all...peace.

House part 3

YAHOO!!!!! We are approved!!!! We will hopefully close tomorrow afternoon. And we will be able to paint this weekend and move in. YAY! I'll post more later.

Weekend.

Friday was pretty uneventful. I went to work, stressed about our loan crap, and went home. Will and Kristen came by so Will, Steph, dad & I played that railroad game, I don't know what it's called. I won!, by A LOT! After that Michael came home. Michael's friend, Etikeni Samani and his wife, died in a head on crash on Labor Day so he went to the "viewing". I'd say from the accident there was likely no viewing. But he said it was so sad. I guess the wife had just found out she was pregnant. That of course made me cry. I have a very soft spot for pregnant women who die.

Saturday Michael went up to his brother's house to watch the US Rugby team play in the world cup..he has a few friends on the team. I got up with Kailye and went to the gym. I got over there and went to put kk in the day care for an hour. Well I usually pay for the time I use there once a month and this time the girl told me I had to pay before I went to work out. And that they only take cash. So I told her that I didn't have cash with me so I guess I would not be working out today. She then told me that I would need to pay for the time I had reserved next time I come in even though I didn't use it. I laughed at her...you won't let me pay next time for the time if I use it but I must pay next time for the reserved time I didn't use?...yea right. I "politely" told her that was not going to happen and that if she would like to let me talk to her manager I'd be more than happy to explain to her that was not going to happen. Seriouslyy, does that make sense to anyone? So kk and I ran errands all morning instead. She needed new tennis shoes and black Sunday shoes so we went and got some.Well by the time I got home I felt gross, because I didn't take a shower that morning because I was going to the gym. But I also felt Sooo tired. I took what I thought was a little nap but Michael woke me up after he stopped working in the yard and it was 5:30. I was supposed to be ready to go out for Steph's birthday at 5:30. And may I remind you I still needed a shower. So I told mom just to go and I would go with them to the comedy club later. So I got up and got ready, I even did my hair. I went up stairs at 8:45 to go to the comedy club and no one was ready. Mom and Bobbie had gone into mom's work and dad was on the computer and Steph was in PJ's. I asked what was going on and Dad said everyone decided not to go. Well no one told me this. So now I was all ready to go and no where to go so Michael and I went to a movie. It was nice to go out with my husband. We have only been out with just the two of us twice this whole year. We went and saw 3:10 to Yuma. Neither of us had any idea what it was about but it was good. It was a western, and I haven't seen a western in....uh....never...maybe.

Well I better get going I didn't realize how late it was...bye.

House part 2

I got an email from our loan officer this morning stating the underwriter won't except the letter from our student loans and is going to figure the loan payments individually. AHHHH! That is me frustrated can you tell. That takes our loan repayments from $200-300 per month to $656 per month...are you kidding me. I'm so annoyed. Our student loans are through the state education board, UHEAA. They will not even allow us to repay the way this guy is figuring. He says he has to do the worst case scenario but he is doing an impossible scenario. I'm so bugged. So now we have to wait to see if they will make an exception on the ratio, and then we will have to pay a penalty fee. It's so annoying, our student loans are the ONLY debt we have. We will know by tomorrow at 2 pm. I'm so frustrated and can barely think straight. I better get back to work. Sorry that was depressing...but since I use this like a journal I wanted to write down how frustrated I am...bye.

House

Ug...I get some lovely news today...can you tell by my UG.

Well we are supposed to close on our house next week but we got an email today from our lender about our loan. The underwriter is giving her greif because Michael doesn't have his student loans consolidated. We have a grace period until November so we won't actually owe a payment until January, but our underwriter wants it consolidated before we close. Our loan company WON'T consolidate until Oct....woohoo. So now Michael has to write a letter explaining this...AGAIN...and give permission for our loan officer to call our lender and access his loans so she hears first hand that this is the case and then she gets to call the underwriter and tell him axectly what we have already told him.

Michael called his loan company and they told him they have to do this with a lot of Mortgage Companies but it's usually not a problem. Yay...should've known we would be the only ones to have this problem....I really hope everythong goes well. I really don't want to start this whole process over. Especially with Bobbie, Jeremy, Steph, the boys, mom , dad, Michael, I , kk, three dogs and a partridge in a pear tree all in one house....uh huh..I'm sure that will work. We'll see...cross your fingers.

UG!

Oh man...I went home from work yesterday and I was so excited. Michael and I made a deal that Wednesday nights are mine. He does things he wants to on Tuesday and Thursday, so Wednesday is my day to do what I want or need and not worry about where KK is or how I am going to get anything done with her. Well yesterday I got home and Kailye started cleaning the cars out with her daddy. I should have taken a before and after of that, it's crazy. Well I went down stairs and started to work on a game for Kari's baby shower. After I got that done I wasn't feeling great so I laid down for a minute to take a cat nap. At 6:30 I woke up and went into my bedroom to finish my "cat nap" and at 3:30 this morning when KK came in I was wide awake...lovely. So I made myself sleep until 5 but then got up to get ready for work. I got here at 6 AM! Man, I was so mad I lost "my" night. I slept right through it. I had such ambition for it...UG! Well at least I got here early so I will be able to leave really early...then maybe I can get things done I've been neglecting...avoiding...WOOHOOO.

So since I didn't walk or run or do anything last night I am also back to day one of the work out habit. I started this in June and still haven't hit day 21 to make it a habit...UG! Oh well I guess I better get to the gym tonight. Well I have lots to do at work today so I better get back to it.

So after seeing all your comments I looked back through my blog and realized it sounded fairly depressing. I really am fine. I am stressed but I'm not ornery. There is so much we have to do but it's no big deal if it takes a week or two. I can't even start on the house until we close anyway & that should only take a few day....with a lot of help...HINT HINT. I'm so glad that you are all so willing to help it makes things so much easier. Michael thinks he can have a friend come spray the house so we don't have to use rollers to paint we will just have to prep everything and do the tile. So really the only thing I really need to get done this week is the packing. Which would be easier if I wasn't such a slacker and if I hadn't found the need to fire Michael, but it will all get done someway or another. Thanks so much for all the support. Bye.

Hello All

So to say that I have been stressed lately would be a HUGE understatement. I have been so stressed with the house, Kailye, Michael, work, and packing that I actually made myself sick. Which did not help with any of the above mentioned. I got a huge migraine that seemed to last for 2 weeks...Not Fun.

So yesterday was much better than it has been in a few weeks so I got started--yes started, I know we are supposed to move next week--on the packing. I got all of the bathroom done down to the essentials. I also got Kailye's room almost completely finished. So the count is Trish 1.8 house 5. Yes that's right you heard me...I have 5 more rooms to pack. How is this possible you ask--okay I asked myself because my new house only has 5 rooms total--well we have two storage rooms full of stuff, all the stuff in the garage, the office ..UG...and my bedroom. So on today's list is to go through all of our clothes and get rid of what we don't use. Any takers? We only have two closets in the new house and they are half the size of the ones we have now. I use 2 double closets, Michael uses one double, and kk uses a double. Now I have to get that down to One double and one single. I am going to have to buy two dressers for sure.

Michael did attempt to help with the packing yesterday but after I heard him say "we don't need newspaper I'll just be careful with moving these boxes" and then seeing him pack 1 box I decided he was fired. We would have no need to even pack if he helps. Everything will be broken anyway. So that doesn't help out my situation so much. I'm hoping we can get the house packed this week and get all the holes patched in the walls and re-painted. Then on next weeks agenda is, once the house is closed, to paint every room...any helpers are VERY welcome...put the tile in the bathroom and change the exterior doors and and the light fixtures through the whole house. Fun eh? And somehow we are going to get that all done in one week so we can move in on the weekend of the 14Th....UG!!! Oh man. In the mean time Michael and I are both working full-time and Kk starts school this week...thank goodness. Those few hours three days a week make a huge difference.

So last weekend I did go to the spa party at the Spence home. It was so fun. I had never been out to there house since they moved in a year ago. It is always funny...and loud...when my family gets together. My cousin Zannie does incredible little pictures on nails. Most everyone there had her do BYU stuff because they are all fans but I of course had her do the UTAH drum and feather. GO UTES!!!! Well maybe not last week but we'll see how this weeks game goes. I'm at work so I'll have to post more pictures later. We all had sooo much fun as you can tell from this picture of us all laughing. Thanks Mickie and Zannie.

I have been taking lots of walks at night with Steph and I can tell it is doing something because the other night I went to a movie with Michael instead of going on a walk and I felt icky...I felt like I needed to go on a run. I wrote a blog on my other blog run-it-off. For anyone who cares to look...I won't feel bad if you don't.

Michael and I went and saw Stardust the other night. We haven't been out just the two of us in probably 2 months so it was long over due. It was a much better movie than I anticipated. I really liked it. It is one of those movies I would pay to see twice.

Well I think this has been a VERY long & scatter-brained blog and I better get back on the phones. Peace :)
