Weekend/ Update!

When I was little I dreaded General Conference weekend. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED not having to put on a dress and go to church for 3 hours. But I hated having to sit through all the boring old men's talks. It was pure torture. Now that I'm old and wise, I get so excited for it. I love all of the inspiration they have to offer. At every single conference I feel that there is at least one talk that I swear was meant just for me. I am really looking forward to Novembers Ensign with the Conference recap!

Greg lucked out, I actually made breakfast. I can honestly say this is probably only the second time I've made breakfast for him since we've been married. It turned out delicious though.

He better not get used to this, its a once-in-a-lifetime ordeal

On Sunday after conference we took a little (aka 40 minute'ish) drive up to see our house. It is SO cute. Here are are the updated pics.

Garage!

Siding will be installed here (side)

This will one day be a kitchen

Our (dirty) hardwood floors in the kitchen

Cuuute doors

This is the tile that will be in the entry ways, bathrooms, and laundry space

I cannot even explain how happy and excited I am about this. It will feel so nice to finally be a homeowner! Supposedly the house will be done this Wednesday (October 10th), or Thursday at the latest. I'm guessing it won't really happen. But a girl can dream!

Oh, and because this little boy is the cutest kid alive....

Love,

The Glutard

Busy weekend!

I had such a great, but busy weekend! I hope you did, too!

On Friday some of the girls I work with had a GNO! It was filled with:



It was beyond delightful. I love Wingers, but Greg hates it. So it was nice going with some friends! I still can't decide if I liked the movie, or not. Has anyone else seen it yet?

Saturday was booked solid, too. I had a much needed hair appointment that morning and went dark, I love it!

I'm not trying to look retarded, just showin' the red-ness

Then I went on to doing some math homework. I really, really despise math. It is completely useless... anyways, then I did my sister-in-law's hair for homecoming and helped a little with her make up. She looked so cute! I'm still waiting on a final picture.

That night we went with Greg's friend and his wife to Spaghetti Factory and tried going to the SLC temple, but got there a little late. So instead, we got a tour of the conference center. I have been a few times before, but it was so nice to see it again.

Then on Sunday, after the Brigham City Temple dedication we took my parents to see the house! Are you (as if anyone even reads this) sick of hearing about the house? Well, too bad. :) 

I'm SO glad we went and saw the house again, it has come a long more than I thought it would have. The garage door is on, the interior doors have been delivered, the baseboards arrived as well, and the outside is at the beginning of being stucco'd (sp?)!! 

I can't wait to see it progress! Its so exciting. I have sort of forgot all the colors we picked, so hopefully I'll still like them. Haha! Here are a few pictures so far.

Doesn't the sky look cool?

Our adoorable doors..see what I did there?

Us in front of the humble abode (sp?)

I have been getting a little nervous about our decision to move to Eagle Mtn, but each time I see it I know we made the right choice. Its so exciting, but I've never lived this far away from my family, which will be hard to adjust to. I guess we'll have to host some holiday and/or random party/get-together's so people will consider visiting us. :)

Sunday night I started making cake pops, but it was mostly a fail because I didn't allow them to freeze all of the way at first. But here are the few I did that were successful!

I have a love/hate relationship with these things. They are a pain to make (not hard, just annoying) but SOO delicious to eat!

Decisions, decisions..

Life is SO good! We've been so blessed and many good things are happening. Last week we were able to meet with the builder and finalize things we want for our house. Supposedly I was a little bratty about the things I wanted, but I don't believe it for a second!

We chose dark hardwood floors and semi-dark cabinets. We got to pick out our granite counter-top color. We chose medium/neutral tile and carpet. (The carpet we didn't agree on, but I totally won that war!) We also had to pick out the grout color.. who knew that could be so hard!? I can't remember what else we picked out, but it was fun but also overwhelming.

We're lucky that we had such great features to choose from that didn't cost extra. The only things we are adding on is oil-brushed bronze fixtures and stainless steel appliances. Its gonna be SWEET! To be honest, I'm a little nervous about an oil-brushed bronze faucet, with a stainless steel sink/basin. Here is a picture I found online: 



What do you think?

We also got to visit our new house on Sunday, to show Greg's parents. It was SO fun going out to see it. I got super excited all over again. Here are some pictures from the trip.





Is it not the cutest thing you've ever seen? Yeah, I didn't think so. ;)

NEW HOUSE!!!

Greg and I are SO excited to announce that we are moving to Eagle Mountain! We are building a home and it will be ready sometime in October. We originally were planning on a 6-month'ish wait, but the builder had a home already framed, so things are moving along quite faster than we thought. 

Things are crazy with work, school, and getting the loan and house finalized. But it will be SO worth it!

Here is the layout:

Wish us luck!
