-Old deck demolished and taken down. Check.

-New hardwood floor installed. Maybe when I am 50.

My life has been nothing but project after project lately, and I feel like I am spiraling out of control. My house has gone down the drain, the blog has gone down the drain, my washer and dryer have been running non stop and I JUST CAN'T KEEP UP!!!!!!!
Plus, to top everything off, our computer/internet has been screwy. I think we will be converting from a PC to a MacBook Pro in the next little while (if finances allow).
On a side note, it looks like we will be released from our church callings in the singles ward up at the University Stake this coming Sunday after 3 and a half years...(tears). At least that's what the rumors are. So, back to the home ward for new adventures. (I just hope the ladies in the home ward don't get too upset when our little baby girl tries to snag a cell phone or lip gloss from their purse like she does from all the college girls).
**Oh yeah. I forgot one for my check list:
-Hands as moisturized and soft as a baby's bottom. Check! (Thanks to a friend's recommendation over at Jen's fish bowl). I LOVE this stuff!!! And Jen. And her brilliant blog.

Holy Schmoly Guacamole! You are busy and must have the stamina of an ox on steroids. I really, really look up to you Nat. You do much good, and inspire me.
The college ward will suffer a tremendous loss without you. Lucky for the home ward though.
And finally, thanks for the update on the bees. I have been wondering how the little buggers are and how you all are doing trying to co-exist with them.
Nat, I want to see some pictures of your new deck....I guess I will probably see it this weekend though:) Sounds like a kind of crazy, lots of fun summer!
Funny how when jumping around blogs you can find friends! Your kids are just adorable and it has been so fun reading a little about your beautiful family. Wow, time sure flies!!:-) I'll have to check back every now and then. Take care!:-)
