New Grass!

There's a new Wingers that opened up just down the street from the house. One day we saw that the landscapers were putting down new sod. After their job was done there was a big pile of sod just sitting in the parking lot. So a couple days went by, we called wingers and asked if we could have the sod, they said yes. So we went and loaded it ALL up into the truck. If you notice in the picture the sod was very heavy for the little truck!!! But we laid it all down and it looks great. You'll see that the middle is the original grass, but all around it is the new sod. We still have so much work to do in our yard, but free sod was a great start!!




The poor truck!!!

We're In!!!

Pictures will come!! I just have to say that our house is so cute, I love being in there and having a own place to call our own. The first night was hard for me to fall asleep because of all the new noises. But when I woke up in the morning I didn't want to get out of bed because I was so comfortable. We feel so lucky to be in a home and can't wait to have many wonderful memories there. Home Sweet Home!!!

Elder Matt Knoop...

I will truly miss Matt, he was one of my dear friends. I saw him grow up and also saw him strive to always be worthy of being able to serve a mission. He is one of the most amazing guys I know, and has blessed the life's of many. My heart goes out to his family and also to his best friend Brady Ewell, who is serving a mission in Mexico. I got to talk to Brady and hear him say that he is going to be serving his mission for Matt. I know there wont be a day that goes by that Brady and all of us wont think of Matt and the impact he had on our life's, but it's comforting to know that Matt is watching over us. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for us and even though we don't know it, we need to live our life's to the fullest.

I love you Matt.

Read more about him....just Google Matt Knoop, then you'll see LDS missionary died in Brazil.

Flip This House..

That's one of our favorite shows, and since April 1st we have been flipping our new home. Zak's parents own the home and rent it out, which means we're the new renters!! We have totally saved this house, it was in really bad shape and never taken care of. The house was built in 1932, making it 76 years old and also on Murray City Historic list. It is such a cute home!! We have gutted the whole place and are starting all over, new kitchen , new bathroom, new carpet, refinishing the hardwood, and of course my favorite...Paint. It will look amazing when it's all done. We are hoping for May to be finished. So when it's done you all need to come and see the transformation. Well here are some pictures of our work.
