Big Changes!

When we moved into the house we knew we had to make some changes. In the home teaching room we have a big arched window. Above the arch the previous owner had painted some vines and flowers that looked like hydrangeas. And in the family room above the fireplace there were vines, birdhouses, and birds painted on the wall. That is so not me (us). So we contacted Dave Biddison (Emily Sharp's husband) about painting the house. Now this was back in May or June. We knew he was busy and that it would take a while for him to get back to us. But it is finally happening! They started last week. They are painting the laundry room today. All that is left is the entry way from the garage, the kitchen/family room and they will be done. We are so pleased with how it looks now. When they are totally done I will post some before and after pics.
We hope all our family are having a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. We are in a bit of a mess, but that's ok, for now. My mother will be coming over, and because the painters asked if they could work today, we also invited them for dinner. It should be really interesting because they speak very little English. It will be a quiet dinner for sure. Aaron and Heidi are planning on coming over later too.
We want you to know how thankful we are for all of you and for our beautiful grandchildren. We love you all and miss you so much. We are thankful for many blessings that enrich our lives and those of our kids. Knowing that you are all happy in your marriages and that you and the kids have been blessed with good health, employment, beautiful homes, active Church involvement, and testimonies of the Savior is a huge blessing in our lives as well as yours. Thank you so much for being a wonderful part of our lives!
