Not much new going on at our house.  We are still hard at work on finishing the house.  I want to take lots of pictures when it's all done, it may be a while.  Jeff is here with me at the library.  The kids are at school today.  I will work on the house when I get home.  I'm always working on the house!

Lauren loves to drive now and wants to drive everywhere, she has her driving permit so I drive with her or Jeff. She loves to drive the honda accord with the sunroof down and has a lot of fun driving it.  I like the car too so I make sure shes careful with it. Trey enjoys school and Heather is doing really well in school an "A" student.  I help Jeff with the house as much as I can.  He is searching for a job and will be busy with the National Guard. I have a calling in church to help the cub scouts on Wed. so thats fun. I'm still working on finishing the drywall.

My daughter Heather joined cross-country recently and is doing really good.  She must take after Jeff and his running abilities.  My sister was also a very good cross-country runner.  The house is not completed yet and we are still hard at work on the drywall finishing phase, it sure does take a lot of work.  I want to post pictures when its all done.  I haven't been feeling my best lately, I have health problems that I deal with so that isn't any fun.  I feel sleepy right now and just want to go to bed and it's 9:42 in the morning. I have to deal with anxiety and panic attacks sometimes so I took medicine for it and the side effects are bad so I recently got off that medicine.  My oldest daughter Lauren is being homeschooled and she is here at the library with me. I hurt my knee working on the drywall and it's pretty sore right now. Sorry about all the complaining news --on the bright side the missionaries are comming over tonight for a family home evening so that should be fun.  I want to get a nice dessert for after the meeting.  Last night we watched some Bible stories on gmc channel.  We watched the story of Abraham and Joseph and they were pretty good. 

Well I am becomming an expert at drywall finishing and I have taped out most of the house---that is a huge house so it takes a lot of time to finish.  Jeff is also trying to get it done!  We have cabinets in the house in boxes and they look great -I can hardly wait to see what it looks like in our finished kitchen. It's slowly comming together but I  think it's going to be a while before we get into the house.  I want to show pictures but I'm at the library so I will have to wait until we get internet at home or a laptop.

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.
