Tiny bits of progress made. We're still at the call the irrigation district weekly stage to make sure our fire-flow test happens. But we got some questions answered by our architect (like weather our balcony is strong enough for a hot tub), and we finally got our land use review back...our property is just fine...

A Rewarding Week
This week both kids earned multiple rewards. Ari earned two rewards for her read aloud challenge: Choosing what we had for dinner one week and a movie night. She chose fruit salad for her dinner and Aristocats for her movie night. She also earned us donuts for dinner one evening by taking her iReady test... Continue Reading →
More ups and downs.
Life is a roller coaster. This week Caleb and I each had something to follow up on. He called the building department to follow up on our land use review as it's been the 6 weeks and we still haven't received it...and when we actually submitted our house plans (4 weeks ago) they had said...

Last week of Advent
We had another very busy week. One exciting part was we went to the Christmas party for the Sophomores because my husband is their sponsor and they requested that his kids come too. Ari absolutely loved being in the middle of a bunch of teenagers and jumped right into their conversations and games. They were... Continue Reading →
Some progress!
This week we have mostly made progress! Some progress required a ton of patience, see the above pic...but we made progress! The only setback was that the power pole was going to be put in Friday and, due to the rain, will instead go in next Monday...hopefully. On Monday, the kids and I were able... Continue Reading →
Advent week 2
Our second week of Advent was a very busy one. My husband and I helped chaperone his academy banquet on Sunday. On Monday the kids and I ran out to pick up our new building plans and that evening my husband and I went to a very long (3.5 hours) constituency meeting on the future... Continue Reading →
