Walk-Through

We were supposed to have whats called a "4-way walk-through" today, but due to the weather (its been raining 3 days straight now) it was pushed till monday.

A walk-through is when you meet with the builder, the electrical engineer, plumber, etc and talk about where you want the power outlets, light switches, phone connections, tv connections etc. And then any other questions. They do this when they finish framing, and right before they start the inside stuff.

So I guess we will see what happens on monday and then on Tuesday we head to Disneyland!!!

Durfee Christmas Party

This last weekend was really fun. We went to Idaho Saturday morning to spend some time on the farm and to do the Durfee Family Christmas thing. It was fun. Amy's mom finally got a billion rolls of film developed, so they passed those all around the room. There were alot of pics of our kids and stuff when they were little. Rooker looked almost exactly like Bailey when he was little. We are going to take our scanner down there one weekend and get them all scanned in and put on the website. Other than that we just hung out and ate alot of homemade toffee. Good stuff!

Then we came home Sunday after church and everyone was at my parents house. Bryan, Marie, Ed, Sade, Maddey, and Libby. They were all there cause it was Ben's 18th birthday. It was really fun. I got a dice game called "Stack" at the Durfee Christmas party. You can have up to 8 players. Its really simple and fun, but it makes alot of enemies during the game. We played it with everyone at my parents for about an hour last night. Fun stuff!

It was nice to sleep back in my Memory Foam Pad bed last night.

Right Place at the Right Time

We got a washer and dryer yesterday. It was an amazing coincidence. Me and Amy have been looking at washers and dryers for about 3 weeks now, and we could never come to terms with purchasing a brand new one at Granite or RC Willey. The money just wasn't right. Although they do have some amazing washers now with some awesome features. But they are like $800+. Who can afford that?

So we have been looking at purcashing some used ones and I have called around some from ads in the papers, but it seems washers/dryers get bought the same day they get listed, cause everyone was saying they were already sold.

So I found this place down the road from the office called "Best Family Appliance" which is a place that buys used washers/dryers and resells them. So we showed up Wednesday to look around, and just the night before they got this set that came in as a trade-in. They are fairly newer and whoever had them took very good care of them. They were listed at $400 for the set! The washer is even Super Capacity! So I called Amy on the cell and bought them right then and there.

Tomorrow my uncle Mike and I are going to go pick them up and take them out to Ed and Sade's house in Stockton. Eddie has a HUGE oversized garage and they agreed to store them till we get moved in.

PLUS Amy had an uncle who died, and so ppl were claiming all his belongings (cause his wife had already died earlier). Well, no one wanted the fridge. So Amy's dad picked it up for us. It is brand new too. So we also have a fridge.

Now we just need a DVD/VCR player and some curtains and we should be set to go.

Wooho - Progress!!!

We went and looked at the house yesterday right before I went with Eddie to the Priesthood Session of General Conference. They have framed the basement. They havent put down the main floor yet, that will probaly happen this week. I took like 5 pics, I will post them soon as I get a chance.

House Being Framed

I got a call from Sadie last night saying that the house has quite a bit of framing done. FINALLY! But I haven't told Amy yet. I will just let it be a surpise. I will take some pics and put them up when we go see it tomorrow. The builder told us he thinks we will be in by Christmas. We shall see...
