Wow March went fast

Well Eric wants to talk about March Madness cuz he likes his brackets and that he is winning, but his teams keep losing so Stephanie is not alone at the bottom of our group "Loving It" we just guess. He likes following it. But really Obama is gonna beat us all his bracket is amazing its crazy.

So our house is going up super fast! Today almost everything is drywalled! So crazy it looks like a real house now. We have all of our siding and almost all the roof. It's just flying. I so excited for March 31 install all the cabinets. Everything is just flying its crazy and stressful and there is so much going on.

We have basically figured out all of our landscape. We are going to put in a weeping cherry tree and a cement path and a raised flowerbed with pavers. We are going to have lots of pretty grass and mulch and no rocks cause spiders live in them. Its going to be super pretty and Eric will have fun choosing plants and all.

Umm a title

So we don't have kids to write about so we just write about our house...

It's super pretty and exciting! We have cement! Yay! It's so pretty! I just wanna go live in our cement lined hole!

So Wednesday we meet with the construction manager for our first meeting. We went over our plot layout and he gave us the 5 major dates for our house to be on schedule. The earliest close date is May 4th, so we are excited and it is so soon it is crazy. It's hard to believe that everything is happening now because we have been waiting for so long.

Monday they are supposed to start framing so soon we will have a structure above the dirt, but right now it's just our house in the middle of the street....(see Eric's video to really see our boards in the middle of the road)

Anyways Eric keeps being sick and Stephanie really wants him to be better so we can be fishies. Other than that life is full of work, work, work.

Oh yeah! Eric got a promotion! He is the B Tech Mechanic and shop foreman and lead tire guy and alignment guy and whatever his boss wants him to be guy. He is supposed to finish up his CSU ap and then study about A4 and A5 (suspension and brakes) so he can be ASE certified. (That means Automotive service excellence (the blue gear thingy (aka good mechanic just for those who don't know)))

Wellll that's all folks, over and out.

House, House and more House!

Hello everyone! it seems like Stephanie is the one always writing on here so I decided to take a turn and write a little myself, which is pretty much saying were excited for our house and post pictures and videos. Well I am uploading all of the videos to my Youtube channel so tune in there for all the videos. here is a link link to one of the videos, and you can find others by clicking the word oremrunner underneath the video and going to my page...

The Big Hole

This is our huge hole! Holey moley! Where did it come from? And why are there tarps in the bottom?

The first part of the hole

So the first part of our hole

The start of our house building

So I don't know if this is video or just a picture so this is the test one.....

This is the stakes and the marking of gas lines so that they can start digging for our house :)

Already the end of January! Time goes fast!

It's crazy how fast time flies! It's almost February already! This month has been a busy one. On the 15th Eric and Stephanie were sealed for time and all eternity in the Denver Temple. Gaylene, Spencer, Scott, Clay, Tawny, and Sharlit all came for the sealing. It was a super special day full of happiness at being a forever family!

Sunday was Stephanie's birthday and we had yummy birthday cake from Baskin Robbins. Eric's gift to Stephanie is to teach her how to be a fishy. We got passes to go swimming at the high school pool 5 mins away from our place and have gone once so far. It is fun and we look forward to getting to be better swimmers.

We are still waiting for our house to get started......still lots of dirt on our lot and no hole in the ground.....it is so hard to be patient.

Today Eric is sick :( . He is sleeping lots which is good, but just no feel good. I am hoping that I don't get sick too and that his head clears up so he doesn't feel so miserable.
