Garage Floor Makeover

Today we worked on our garage. We decided to do an "Epoxy-Coat" coating on the floor. IT WAS SOOOO COLD!! Ok, I know that most of you reading this are in places much colder then here, but to us it is cold.

The inside of our house was about to be organized enough for pictures, but we had to move EVERYTHING from the garage, into the house. So it is a mess once again. I just hope it is back to being organized before Christmas.

I am so pleased with how it all came together. Tyler and I had to work really fast cutting in and spreading the mixture all around. Then we had to figure out how to get the decorative flakes all the way in the back of the garage without walking on the wet floor. It was pretty funny to watch. Nathan really enjoyed throwing the flakes, and I was glad he was able to help. He always wants to be helpful so it is nice that there was something he was able to do. Here are some before and afters. We should have taken the "Before"s yesterday, before cleaning the concrete. It was pretty nasty, and we had to literally scrub it on our hands and knees. Anyway, Enjoy!

Update...

It is clearly time for an update. The past month is pretty much a blur, and I am glad that things have finally started to slow down. We were able to move in to our house 2 weeks ago, even though there are still some things that need to be done. For instance, we just hung all the interior doors yesterday. But we are just glad to be here.

We are really enjoying the area here too. I never thought that I would say it, but it is not all that bad. When I found out that Tyler was serious about us moving here I cried. And then when he showed me this house and asked me to tell our agent that we wanted to see it, it happened again! I could tell from the one picture that it was going to need a lot of work. I didn't even want to go inside because I knew Tyler would want to take on the challenge of another complete remodel. Our agent met us there, and he sided with Tyler that this was the house we should buy. So here we are with 2 "flips" in less then 4 years of marriage. I don't remember being this worn out after our first one, and I was working part time, pregnant, and always tired then.

Today was our 3rd Sunday in our new ward, and I am already being put to work! Last week I sang in Sacrament, with the choir after learning the song an hour before. The choir has about 8 people, so I thought it would be nice of me to join. Now I am singing a solo in the Christmas Sacrament Meeting, and they had me lead the music in Relief Society today.

The ward we were in while living with my Grandma was so huge that we kind of got lost. There were new families every week, and we didn't really have the chance to serve, or meet many new people, and we were there for five months. This new ward is great! It is pretty small, but I am loving it. I am already making friends and have the feeling I will be able to serve a lot here.

Here are some pictures of our kitchen to make you jealous. Tyler did all the work himself ( We had some help from family too), so it deserves to be shown off.
