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.

Looks awesome! You guys have really been busy. I'm glad you've found a "home" in vegas and like it. It makes all the difference.

Looks beautiful! Can't wait to see more pictures. We are just finishing up our basement. I feel your pain -literally :)
We went a tad over budget & have to wait until the new year to put in baseboards & stone around the fireplace.

Congratulations guys.

I would love to thaw out in Vegas with you guys! And I need a tan so bad - well, after I'm not pregnant anymore obviously. :) I feel like I haven't seen you in forever! We do need to get together sometime, and it's just finding out when is the problem!
