My new front door. We are planning to change the accent colors of the house. The front door will be a deep chocolate brown.


Working on some curb appeal with my mother in law who has a green thumb!

Jacob at the Nauvoo Temple May 22 2007

The house on 10 acres that we will be getting soon!!

The kitchen I came home to! Bryan worked through rain, flood, and seven children to create this kitchen for me. He is very close to perfect!

My sister Keziah who took care of me in Utah. What a fun time! She did not help with my no sugar diet! I got to go to BYU. the Spirit there is so awesome I forgot to take a picture!

Well Hello again finally

I won't pretend that I will post any more often than I have been. I don't know how to find the time for this. I am going to get my life more scheduled to try though.
OK UPDATE
The week of the 7th of May I was in Ut. I went to see a doctor there who I hoped could help me get better. I am on a no sugar diet. Amazingly I have been doing pretty well at not giving in to cravings. I have been feeling better!
May 17 Jacob turned 12 years old. His Grove Grandparents were able to visit for a week. Jacob was ordained a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood on the 20th. On the 22nd of May we went to Nauvoo so that Jacob could do baptisms in the temple. What an awesome experience. He was baptised for some of his Grove ancestors including Jacob Grove his 5th great grandfather. Grove Grandparents, Grandma Aitchison, Keenan and Mable Blanchard were able to share the day with him.
Sometime in May the bank called Bryan and asked if he would be interested in another remodel! We were pretty excited. It is a huge house on 10 acres with a lot of outbuildings and amazing potential. We plan to close by Aug 1st.
So we have been speeding up the remodel of our current home. Three weeks ago however I fell from the ladder that was allowing me to texture the walls of the stairwell and seriously hurt myself. I am just getting able to bend over and lift things heavier than my laptop.
Yes, I should have been blogging while I was stuck on the couch but then it would have been all depressing.
So I hope this post makes those of you who have been faithfully checking back happy!
