The drywall is about finished in the house.  I helped Jeff in the basement today and it got pretty hot, but it will be nice to have the drywall up in the basement! I also picked out the vanity top for the master bathroom and I think it's a pretty brown color.  The fun part is picking out all the stuff for the house and I get to use my interior design skills, I took a few classes in college in interior design and I get to design  the new house.  We have not picked out the flooring yet but that will be next.  We want to keep our cost down so we are also looking for great bargans.  I bought my appliances on sale last Christmas when they had some good sales on stainless steel appliances.

Lauren, my daughter is taking her drivers permit exam today and she is a little nervous about it.  Jeff likes to go driving with her on the country roads.  I'm a little nervous of course to have her drive but it needs to come one day.  She will be driving the honda accord that I bought from my dad.  They bought it new in Wichita, Kansas when they lived there and it has been a nice car, but it needs some work done on it now. Yesterday church was cancelled because the power was out in the city and county here in Alabama for a while. I'm glad it was overcast and rainy and cool while the power was out!

Well drywall is going up today, and the family that is doing it is really quick so it will be done quickly!  I'm hoping the drywall finishing will go quickly as well.  August is the deadline and I don't know if the house will be done or not.  It is really hot here and the summer makes it hard to work but they get an early start. My teaching license expired June 2011 so I will need to take three classes to be able to teach school.  I'm not sure what I will do right now.  I will stay with Olan Mills for now.  Steele Apple Orchard wants me to work this year and it was a lot of fun so I might be doing that as well.  I need to see if my kids will be able to go to public school or not.  I'm also the cub scout leader in the ward so that keeps me busy.

Well both of my girls are attending camp this week. They are enjoying the time with friends and being in the outdoors for a while! I am busy cleaning up the house and I brought Trey to the public library. I want to get more into my business over time with affiliated marketing on the side. I want to learn more about how it works and get more involved with it. I have my website at http://daniellemiddleton.mydealscenter.com/ that is a good place to check out. For the Fourth of July we watched the fireworks from a distance at Smith Lake.

I am having such a great time in Utah! Sunday I went to Temple Square with my sister Debbie and her husband Frank, we also met Daren and Berit there. We listened to Music and Spoken Word in the tabernacle and the organ was beautiful. We toured the confrence center and then toured Brigham Young's home. The wedding of Brandon and his wife Amber was wonderful at the Oqurrah Temple, I met the Frye's there and thought it was a tender mercy from Heavenly Father to see them there. We had lots of parties here at Doneens house, Sunday we had a big dinner that Doneen cooked and it was wonderful, we celebrated her husband Alan's birthday. So much fun on my vacation and I leave early tomorrow morning for Alabama.

My parents had their 50th wedding anniversary party at my sisters house in Provo, Utah and it turned out really nice. A lot of family were there and my parents looked great. We had cheesecake and a cake that had strawberries and cream, it was delicious! It was so nice to be with family again and to see everyone! Alan was working hard on his backyard and it looks wonderful. I stayed with my brother Dion and his wife Summer and today I am with my younger sister Diane and her husband Ryan. It has been great weather here so I try to take long walks in the morning. A cool breeze and beautiful sunshine. Diane's house is also very pretty and I like to get ideas about our house that were finishing.
