CATCHING UP WITH LIFE
Here I go again, trying to catch up on my blogging. It has been a very eventful summer. We finally put up a nice vinyl fence in our backyard, something we have wanted to do for a long time. In May we discovered some water damage in our kitchen. We had to rip up the sub floor and remove the lower cabinets to dry out the floor. We are grateful that we caught it before we got mold. We decided to do a complete kitchen remodel since it was already torn up. We did all the work ourselves, except for the countertops and new cabinets. The entire project took ten weeks. It was exhausting, but the finished result is beautiful. We took out the wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room. We rearranged the appliances to give us more space in the kitchen. We absolutely love our new kitchen! It turned out even better than we imagined it would. Wooden Things made our cabinets and Premier Marble and Granite did the countertops. Here are some pictures of the water damage, the construction phase and the finished product.

Memorial Day 2012 - It has been a long time since I have visited my parents's grave. We went to Soda Springs, Idaho for the day. After visiting my parent's grave we visited my best friend from my childhood, DeAnn Andersen. I am still kicking myself that I didn't get any pictures of us together. We had a great time catching up and having lunch together.
Haven Marie Garner was born June 18, 2012. Laurie and Landen invited me to be present for her birth. Witnessing Haven's birth was a very sacred and spiritual experience for me. She was just with Heavenly Father and our family members that have passed on. Thank you Laurie and Landen for letting me share this very special experience! The hardest part was seeing Laurie in so much pain. I was so glad when Haven arrived safely.
