PROGRESS...

So, I worked all week last week and so I didn't have time to work on the house or post for a full-time job. Friday night however, Myrna came over and her and Leah- mostly Leah put up my picture wall in the front room. It looks fantastic. At least the frame arrangement does.. The majority need pictures put in them, but that will come later. We'll get together and put together scrapbook like pages to put in the frames. It makes the wall funner to look at. So, needless to say, Friday night was a long night.. we had to pull out all my decorating stuff. For the most part we had already done that.. but I found some more stuff. I think I've got enough stuff to do about 3 more picture walls.. LOL! I didn't bring my camera over here today, but I'll add pictures to this blog next time. Saturday I had the carpets cleaned. The guy didn't do as great a job as I thought he would. Oh, well. There's still spots, but at least it smells different now. I went and helped Myrna load up my buffet, dinning room table & chairs, and a bench into her truck and mine and brought them over. They're the ones we refinished.. They've been stored outside this whole time (under cover of course). It's nice to finally have them in the house. We'd have brought the couches over, but they are in Myrna's upstairs living room and we weren't about to lug those big things down the stairs. So, we'll wait until after Tuesday when my bro-in-law James & bro. Kent are back from the ranch. We didn't get to work on projects as much as we wanted on Saturday because Myrna and I had to do Stake training for 2 wards. It's their ward conference weekend and our new stake pres. has brought back the Saturday night meetings as an opportunity for individualized ward training. It turned out fantastic. We split the presidency up and met with the two wards individually. We'll be doing the same thing for each set of ward Conferences.. (2 each time they're scheduled.) Next week it's the Spanish branches. The rest are farther out. Sunday was BUSY!!! Started off with Country Club ward conf. had about 30 min. to go home and fix some lunch before having to be at the Gateway ward conf. then had about an hour for dinner before having to be at a camp meeting @ 5:30. Then, right after the camp meeting was a Stake Youth Fireside where our new Stake Presidency spoke. It turned out fantastic. What a bunch of funny men. They all told funny stories and I think the youth really enjoyed getting to know them better. Two more days have gone by with no work done on the house, but It'll be done soon. Hopefully I'll be in by the first of Feb. We'll see.
