Painting is Done

We finished painting the house today. It was a lot of work but it is done. Janna and Scott helped so it went fast. Tommy and I went back to IF, what else do we do with our spare time, and got the backer board for our bathrooms so Janna can tile them tomorrow. We also have to set the bathroom doors. I hope we can get them done. Then we can work on the wood floors next week. We are getting so close. I just think of one step at a time and it doesn't seem so bad. We went into Rigby and got a tile saw and I got some potting soil. I planted some pretty purple floors in the barrel Janna has on her front porch. So pretty.
Scott made dinner and I went to bed at 7pm. I was tired. I watched TV for awhile and that has been my day. Busy but productive.
Grateful Statement: So grateful today for my daughter. She is so good to her mom.
1 Corinthians 6 - 1 Corinthians 7  I read it. That's all I can say about it today.

More Painting

Janna and I ran errands this morning and picked up my tile for my bathrooms. I came home and started painting again. I had to quit at 1pm and go to Austins program he was in at school. He played the villian and was adorable. The kids did a wonderful job. And I forgot my camera.
Then back to painting. We got the master bedroom, laundry, pantry and almost all of the master bathroom done. I only have to cut in around my shower but I was too tired and wanted to wait until I was rested and my hand wasn't so tired before I started on it.
Austin helped me unload all the flooring for my house. We have to lay it flat in the house for a couple of days so it acclimates to the temperatures in the house. They were heavy but Austie and I worked together and got it almost all unloaded and then Scott came home from work and finished it up for us. Tommy and I went into IF and got our interior doors and went to dinner at Mickie D's. We were so tired we came home, parked the truck in the garage and quit for the night.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for Austin today. He is so willing to help me unload all the flooring even though it was hard. He is my best helper.
1 Corinthians 5 - 1 Corinthians 6   Verse 13 says, " But them that are without God judgeth, Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person." If we repent of our sins we won't be put out. Maybe disfellowshipped, but not put out unless we are not willing to repent.

Painting Finally

My Scraproom/Office painted.

 My electrician getting ready to install my plugs.

 Harley with her cute goat she is training to show.

Tommy and I started painting at 9:15 this morning and I didn't stop until 5:00 tonight. We got my office, kitchen, front room and hallway all done. Tomorrow we are going to finish it. My hands are about ready to fall off. But it was good to get started. I can see and end coming. We are going out to dinner tonight because I am too tired to cook and Janna wanted to go out. Then I'll be going to bed and getting a good nights sleep. Which I have been doing lately. It's good to be rested.

Grateful Statement: I have been thinking about John today. I am so grateful to Dean for being his brothers keeper. He has gone the extra mile in helping his brother. Dean is just am all around good guy. I love him!

1 Corinthians 4 - 1 Corinthians 5  The Apostles suffer, minister, and keep the faith—The kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

Ready to Paint

Tommy primed all the walls and ceiling with his spray gun today so we are ready to start painting tomorrow. We went to Home Depot and got the paint for the walls.
When Bailee came home from school I took her to Kings to buy a birthday present for her friend. She is going to her party tomorrow after school. So now she's set. We also went to Broulims for milk.
Scott took Austin to Idaho Falls for his baseball game. We watched American Idol and Criminal minds.
I spent most of the day in between going to IF and the grocery store balancing my checkbooks and paying my bills which are so few now that it takes me a minute. Keeping track of the spending on the house is the hardest part. Now I'm done and I'm ready for bed. Big painting day tomorrow.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for Tommy. I know it's hard for him to work on the house but he keeps on going even when he's tired.
1 Corinthians 3 - 1 Corinthians 4 Verse 6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." So much doctrine in so simple a verse.

Now The Hard Work Starts

The back of Tommy's truck is filled with wood flooring that Janna and I are going to lay with advice from the pro Garth.

 Walls are taped and textured. Time to paint.

 These tapers did have a better way to do around my surrounds. I'm pleased as punch!!

Today was a stay at home day except for going to the store and taking Bailee to piano lesson and picking the kids of from YM/YW. I worked on geneolgy, indexed, cleaned and walked through my house about a dozen time wishing I were moving in and it was all done. I love it. It is just my size.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the YM/YW program. I know that if Bailee and Austin keep going it will make a huge difference in their lives. Heavenly Father is so very wise.
1 Corinthians 2 - 1 Corinthians 3  Verse 13 "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." I loved the reference to the Holy Ghost teaching us.

Working on Genealogy

I worked on my genealogy today. I am fixing some problems with my Temple Ordinance List. I am turning all the males over to the Temple because I don't have anyone to do them for me and I don't think it's fair for them to have to wait so long. I am keeping the females so I can do their work for them.
I also did some indexing and balanced all bank accounts for Janna. We paid all the bills when she got home from work. I made Potato Soup for dinner and worked on a menu for next week. I'm getting a month of meals planned so I will know what we are having. It makes it easier to cook. My recipe program makes it so easy to drag and drop my recipes into a menu. Then I can print out a shopping list and all the recipes. How easy is that. I also did a lot of laundry and the tapers worked on my house texturing it and they are still here at 9:42pm taping the garage. They said they would be here until midnight. Now that's hard workers.
That's been my day. And it's been a good one.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for New Family Search. It makes submitting names so easy.
1 Corinthians 1 - 1 Corinthians 2  In veres 3 it says, "Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" This is a powerful statement about who we are to worship.

Partaking of the Sacrament

Today I am blessed to be able to go to church and renew my covenants that I made at baptism. It's good we get to do this because I don't remember much about my baptism. I am trying to really understand what it means and to center it in my heart and mind.
Janna, Bailee and I went to church. They came and got me out of Relief Society and set me apart for my calling. It was a wonderful blessing. I was blessed with wisdom and strength as I try to get my family to church. I needed that blessing.
We came home from church and I made beans and corn bread for dinner and I indexed and watch TV. I was a little tired today so didn't have very much energy.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for Bishop Hall and his councilors. He is very nice and kind.
Romans 16 - 1 Corinthians 1  In verse 17 it says, "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them." I always felt that I should avoid people that were anti-mormon and felt confused if that was right and this scripture tells me I was right. I don't like contention of any kind.
