Changes!

Change #1 As I hit the mid term of the semester I was able to finish off a couple classes and start a new one. The condensed courses were packed but completely worth the credit. All classes this summer are going towards my dual minor in Nutrition and Health. Change #2 I was recently released as the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society (Enrichment counselor). This was completely 100% percent a shock/surprise to me. I thought I was doing a good job juggling work, school, Jammy, remodeling, and family pretty well. I did have a lot on my plate and still do but I guess the Lord has something else in store for me. I'm not sure what that is just yet but I'm content with waiting and enjoying my time without a high priority calling. Change #3 All in four days Arry and I got a dishwasher, installed it with the help of my dad and little brother, and installed our hard wood floor. This includes the base boards, vent, and those things that go under neath the doors where the different floors meet (yeah.... uh don't know what they're called?)We did it all by ourselves which is the best part. We were able to spend a little more money on the wood because we didn't pay someone to do it. A big thanks goes to Brother Stanton in our ward who let us use all the necessary tools for installing the floor. Here are some pictures below to show the transformation. And now for the Granite counter top!

AFTER!





Wow! We did a good job! It feels good to be done with this part! I really had so much fun doing this and thank goodness for those knee pads I found in the back of the closet cause I was on my hands and knees the whole time. Arry was a good helper! Have a happy fourth of July!
