Decisions, Decisions

Our home is coming along very nicely.  We figure that it will be done by the end of the summer.  It has been fun to drive by every day and take pictures to document the process.

This is the foundation after the dirt had been filled back in.

 In the very back will be two bedrooms.  On the left will be the bathroom and on the right will be a laundry room that will then lead into the boiler room and some storage area.

We are feeling so overwhelmed with all of the decisions that need to be made.  We thought that it would be fun to build a new home and design it the way that we wanted.  What we did not realize is how overwhelming the whole process is.  There are some choices that are easy to make, but others are so difficult because either choice would be good.

Right now we are deciding on what stone exterior to have on the home.  Our home will have some stone and some stucco.  We think that we have narrowed it down between these two choices:

Any thoughts???

Disney World

I have always dreamed about going to Disney World! I am so happy that we were able to spend extra time in Florida after the wedding to go. We were spoiled and got to spend 5 days at the happiest place on earth. I was impressed with my 25 week pregnant self and how I was able to hold up. We were able to do open-close every day except for our last day (we had a plane to catch).  I was able to have a lot of fun even though I was not able to ride the thrill rides. I especially liked the animal kingdom, and Toy Story Mania at Hollywood studios.  Here are some pictures from our trip. The first day we went it poured buckets of rain. We all bought poncho's and kept running around like children. It was great. 

The safari at the animal kingdom was amazing!

Loved the petting zoo portion at animal kingdom

The best part of Epcot was all the floral features

Yes we waited in line for princesses. I told Joe he better get use to waiting for princesses with our little girl coming. 

"I'm gonna wreck it!"

This pictures captures it all.

Sam and Taylor's wedding

This past weekend Joe and I were lucky enough to go down to Florida to see Sam (Joe's brother) get sealed to his beautiful bride Taylor. These two are perfect for each other, and we both could not be more thrilled with the new addition to the family. They were sealed in the Orlando, Florida temple. 

We have lots of extended family members who were not able to come down so I will post TONS of pictures to help them get an idea of how beautiful the wedding was. 

I love this picture for some reason, maybe because Sam has a ginormous wedding ring on his finger. 

Stunning women

The reception hall looked out on the lake, it was beautiful.

I am ready to move to Florida. It is seriously so pretty and I am in love with the current weather. 

John, Cheri, and Tom

We are so excited to be able to have another reception in Burley this weekend to celebrate these two getting married!!! Congratulations Taylor and Sam!
