Busy week

This has been a very busy week for the new house. It now has:

Windows and a roof

HVAC

Plumbing

Electrical wiring

Tubs

Low voltage wiring. 

Ready for dry-wall on Saturday!

It's flying!!

Framing

Most of the house is now framed. It is so cool to see it starting to take shape!

Foundation

The foundation is in!

It's really happening

This is a large hole.

 It is our hole,

Which will eventually hold our new house!

After several months of looking, comparing, and tons of decisions and paperwork. We are finally building our house in Woods Cross with Candlelight Homes. We are very excited. I will keep updates on the process of the build here on the blog. Stay tuned :)

Kimi's Wedding

I am a very lucky girl because I have 3 sisters. Although we were silly and fought more when younger (think 4 teenage girls in the same house...eek!), they are now some of my greatest friends. Kimi was always the one I deemed my "clone" because we looked so much alike. Although we are very different personality and interest-wise, she felt like her life often followed the pattern of mine. So, when she turned 28, she knew she would soon meet her husband-to-be, which is when I met Ben. And she did! Alex is truly a great guy and we are more than thrilled to welcome him into our family. He seems a perfect match for Kimi. I love seeing all my siblings find a spouse that is so "perfect" for them. It's amazing.

She even let me take her dress shopping (my favorite part!) and help her plan out some things. I couldn't be happier for her. Here are a few photos from the special day!

 

weekend of girlies

I got to see my favorite Hawaiian trio this weekend when they stayed the night. This was the first time we met Meizi, who was adopted last year. She warmed up to Ben right away. All three sisters were all full of energy and so much fun.

I also babysat my 2 nieces in Bountiful this weekend and substituted in nursery during church. Lots of kiddos!

In Loving Memory

Ben lost one of his best friends tonight. Macie was a sweet little dog and she loved him dearly. Unfortunately, she couldn't live with us due to my allergies but we would go visit her often at his parent's house. Although I have never been one to get attached to animals, I admit I shed a couple tears. It was really hard for Ben. We will miss you Macie!
