Construction Complete

With all the work that we have done on the house, it is so nice to have a break from the construction. Diven and I have moved into our new bedroom and we just LOVE it!!! It is so nice to have a space that we don't feel cramped in and we are feeling very spoiled with our new bathroom (that I just LOVE)!

The biggest transformation I think of all is the facelift to the outside of the house!! It looks so different and it is wonderful to have it as nice as Diven has made the inside of the house. He has worked so hard and has made our home a beautiful place that we get to live.

Merry Graduates!!!!

Well, I am a little behind in my postings so I will start from where I left off. I finally finished Massage College!!

A big Thanks to all that were able to attend, it meant alot! We had a nice dinner at Olive Garden before the ceramony and I was so grateful to have family there to share it with. It was alot of work and I am grateful for the experience.

The start of something new......

Well it isn't very pretty, but.......

In a week or so I will be posting the "House Face-Lift"!!! Can't wait!!!!!

We are getting closer......

Well we are making some more progress!!! The tile is almost done, YEAH!! That means that we get to start looking for carpet and then hopefully by the 19th of May we will be able to move in. I am so excited!! The tile is so pretty, I don't think that the pictures do it justice. We are looking forward to spending more time playing in the house instead of working on it. :)

Saying Farewell to Elder Ian

It was great to see Ian so ready and excited for the two years ahead of him! It was an honor to be able to see him off. During the orientation with the families, he was anxious and ready to begin his journey. It was exciting to feel his desire to serve. Molly got to come with me and say good-bye along with Mom & Dad.

Little Sahara Camping

Playing in the sand!


Avy relaxing after her romp in the sand dunes.

We had a blast!! We enjoyed the sun and the cool temperatures. We got to relax and just hang out. Friends and family came up to play in the dunes. We just had a fun weekend and Ian had a fun last weekend before heading off to the MTC.

Had fun trying to catch some air with the ATV.

Getting There.....

Well we are getting there! We spent last week getting the painting of the walls and the ceiling done. YEAH!! We still need to paint the trim, doors and bathroom cabinents but we are getting there. This weekend hopefully will be the "Tile the bathroom" weekend. It is coming along and we are hoping to be done with everything in the room and moved in by the end of May. So I am really looking forward to the end of May!! Moved into our long awaited bedroom and Graduated from school!!!

Last Weekend of March

This last weekend of March was pretty busy!!

Diven, Chris & Molly were in Vegas re-decaling our camper along with having some fun for Chris' big 15th birthday (I don't have pics of Vegas:(. Merry & Brian were in Phoenix at the end of the year Championships for his Hockey League. Well the trailer looks AWESOME!!!!, and Brian's team the Utah Jr. Grizzlies took 1st in the PeeWee division!! It was alot of driving but well worth it. Luckily it was the last trip to Phoenix for the Beitzel family. We plan on taking long trips as a family more from now on.
