It keeps getting closer!

This last week has been super busy. Trav had a telephone meeting with his advisor at USU and was able to register for classes for Fall 2009. He is on a waiting list for one more class that he won't know until August if he can get into or not, otherwise he got into all the classes that the advisor suggested. Because of all his experience working as the graphic designer for Bull Frog Spas, he was able to get one of his professors permission to take some Upper Division course work that he otherwise would have needed to complete prerequisites for. I think he is getting excited to start, but will be very happy for a break from school this summer.

Today we took another trip to Logan to check out the progress of our home in the last 3 weeks..and once again we were surprised at how much had been done in such a short amount of time...here are a few pictures...the first one of each set is from 3 weeks ago and the second was just today! (click on each picture if you would like to see it larger)...


Laundry Room...we have plumbing!!


Living Room....we have windows!!!

Office...love the vaulted ceiling and windows on BOTH walls!

Side view from street...we have a roof and a cute front patio :)
(remember ours is on the very left end)

Front view from the street. It's really starting to look like a house!

Other exciting progress...both showers are in the house! (sorry no pictures of those..oops!) They are in the bathrooms, but not secured in place. We think that since they are so big and bulky, maybe a crane or something airlifts them into the home before the roof gets put on. In the next couple of weeks we will have to go up to meet with the builder and complete a 4-way inspection. This is where we go through the home, room by room, and make sure everything is structurally correct. Then, after the plumbing and electric is finished, they will start with the sheet rock...and from there we have been told it should go very quickly! We are still supposed to close on the home by the end of June which is almost right around the corner...can't wait!

Look at all those windows, goodness gracious. You can't beat a house with a lot of windows, it's almost like being outdoors.

Yes Sarah! We had so much fun together! Remember when we worked are abs doing throw downs and we could barely walk the next day!? My favorite memories are hanging with you, Trav, and Taylor at Julie's. AND when you gave me yellow roses on Valentines! You were an answer to my prayers back then!
