Just Taking Note

So, I've decided that I need to be more diligent with my writing. I've been writing in a personal journal and blogging online but decided it is time to combine for the most part. I will keep my very personal entries in my private journal, but will keep most updates on my blog and just print off regularly to keep in a journal.

This entry doesn't have a lot of explanation but wanted to keep track of the last couple weeks. We've accomplished a lot and don't want to miss anything as I expell on them later.

Our last 12 days:

Wednesday, May 23rd - Eden went to visit Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Devin. He stayed 7 days!

Thursday, May 24th - Sheetrock, plaster & taped our downstairs bedroom and did laundry. 

Friday, May 25th - Mowed the yard (3 hours), organized the garage and stacked wood.

Saturday, May 26th - First day of Joel's 10 vacation from work! Worked outside on the garage again, attended the local flea market & had dinner with our neighbors. Packed for our "mini-vacation".

Sunday, May 27th - Enjoyed our Sabbath with church & some quiet time.

Monday, May 28th - Started on our journey to Twin Falls. It took us 8 hours in the car and a TERRIBLE pass. (Not looking forward to taking the U-haul over HWY 93.) Checked into Motel 8 about 6pm, went to Shoshone Falls for a picnic dinner.

Tuesday, May 29th - A busy day! We met our rental manager and saw 5 different homes/apartments in Twin Falls. We also met with our employer and did all of the basis paperwork. Went to dinner at Golden Corral.

Wednesday, May 30th - Time to pack up and head back home. It took us about 9 hours to get home this time. We stopped and enjoyed a burger at a local stop on the way and also Lowe's. Got home about 5pm and immediately started staining the back patio a dark walnut color.

Thursday, May 31st - Woke up at 6am to get on the road and pick up Eden in Plains. So excited to have him back with us. (It was lonely without the little guy!) We continued staining the deck, finishing the inside stairwell (stain & edging) and painting the ceiling of the downstairs bedroom.

Friday, June 1st - Sealed as a family for all eternity. Had dinner with John, Donna & Emiley Rios and Justin Leonard at Tomato Street. (It was John & Donna's anniversary too!)
