House Projects

It's been great to be in our own home that we own, but there've been a lot of projects to make the house the way we want it. Dedrick's parents came out for a week to help with a lot of them. They spent a lot of time and money helping us with putting a new surface on the deck, installing better towel holders and all kinds of other projects.

Some family friends have helped a lot, too. Brandon Tabolt and his sister Chelsea have helped at different times. Brandon and Dedrick have spent a lot of time installing an adjustable shelving storage system in the garage. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Lund for buying it and thanks, Brandon for helping install it.

We got a new faucet and water filter for the kitchen sink. The old faucet was broken in a strange way - it would always return to the far left position of its pivot and you had to apply tension to move it anywhere else. It's flow/pressure had dropped off, too. Our old landlord, whois now our plumber/HVAC specialist, came out and installed the new faucet and filter.

Aidan's 6th Birthday

So my sweet, sweet boy turned 6 years old, it is hard to believe. This boy brings love and mayhem in to our home all at the same time. This year we were able to let him have a birthday party since we did not move out of state. We love our wonderful son who came into this world early and fighting.



On his birthday he wanted to go bowling with friends, and had the added bonus of having grandpa and grandma here. Aidan's friends Walker and Mimi had a blast!

Mom Moments

The last few weeks has been crazy busy...so when I had to run to the store for the fifth time that day I notice my sweet girl Kaliska shoes.....



It makes me realize I am doing something a little right!

New House

So we bought a house at the end of June!!! We are so happy to have a place of our own, and have a place to call home! So the new house has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, fenced in backyard, two car garage, family and living rooms. The kids are excited to have there on space. There is a few things we will change in the coming months, so stay tuned!

P.S. My kids wanted to be in all the pictures!

New Job

So I have been a stay at home mom for going on six/seven years. Do not get me wrong I love every minute of it. I just wanted a little break from the house and to meet new people. So a few months ago there was a job opening in the local post office for Postmaster Relief. Since we are not moving and buying a house, I decide why not and applied. I got the job, and start training in two weeks. I will work every Saturday and when the lady who works there goes on vacation, gets sick, has a dr's appointment, etc.
I am really looking forward to work in the post office and getting to know the people in the town I live in!

The goal was for me to go back to school when we found a permanent spot, that still is the plan. I will be going back to school next year, when all three of my kids are in school all day! Tell next year I am going to enjoy working part time.
