The good vs. the bad... The REALLY BAD!!

So we have alot to update!! Some really great stuff and then some really crappy stuff going on lately... so lets start with the bad, get it out of the way! So we have been up at my parents house for the last week and a half helping them redo their kitchen... after a week and a half we were so excited to come home and relax... but instead we came home to this........ The water line in the apartment above our apartment broke during the week, but we were gone and no one lives above us, so the whole ceiling of our apartment was dripping water!!!
Everything was soaked with rusty moldy water....yuk!

The ceiling was falling off... when we opened the door the humidity was crazy! It smells so so so so so so so so so bad.....


It must have broke the day we left because there was mold on the walls and the water damage was everywhere

So we had to move today! The apartment is not livable so they transferred us to another apartment... we only have 6 weeks left on our lease, so talk about a pain in the booty to have to move all our stuff now and again in six weeks!! Alot of our stuff is soaked, and we threw alot of stuff away, but luckily for us all of our big electronics like our tv and computer are fine!! We are so lucky!! I was so stressed when we walked in and saw it.. but lucky for me my sister came up to the valley this morning and help me sort everything and get me moved!! I love you Lu!! You kept me sane!!

So moving past that!!! Here are some pics of the remodel of my parents kitchen! It was alot of work but we learned a ton!

They got their new cabinets in today!! And the appliances!! its going to look awesome!

This is what it looked like when we left... the pictures are backwards...
There was lots of team work... lol

There was lots of electrical work to do...

ripping out cabinets,..

sexy daddy

This is what her kitchen looked like before.... we extended it out 3 feet and her new cabinets are mahagony!! I worked all week with my mom on the cabinets! It was so awesome to hang out with all the fam for a whole week and a half!

Now on to our casa!!!! The finish date has been moved up to July 16th!!! We only have 6 weeks to go!!

We carved our initials into one of the studs in our master bedroom!!

Yay!! :)

Friday we went out right after Michael got of of work to see if the cement for the foundation had been poured.... and it had!!! We are so excited!! They say the longest part is all the inspections and work that goes on before they poor the slab, so it should go fast now!! We can't hardly wait! Michael you are too cute!
So our house is underway! Everytime I think about our house, I can't help but think how blessed we are! Heavenly father has really blessed us these 2 years we have been married and it just keeps getting better! It's amazing how everything falls right into place when its meant to be! I don't know how many houses we looked at before we went with this one, but everything with this house has turned out to fall right into place!! I know this is where we are suppose to be, and that makes it so exciting! Our house is scheduled to be done and us moving in on July 28th, our lease on our apatment is up on July 27th.. everything is working perfect!! Hopefully they will have us in a few days early! We are also very excited about the $8000 tax credit we get for buying a house! That stimulus plan came right in time for us! We can't wait to get that deposit... lol :) it will really help us out with stuff for our home! So the pad has to set for about a week so the lumber will start to be put up the end of next week! We will keep you posted!!
