I warned ya that I am not very good at updating my blog thingy! Things have been quiet on the home front. The house is in constant renovation mode. We like to start one project, get it almost done then finish another project before the last one is done. Example: We took up the carpet in the living room and hallway and plan to lay laminate wood flooring. So far, so good, the living room got done. It looks great. We even bought new trim for baseboards and door facings. Much more updated looking.

We have the hallway floor done since the Spring, I think... It's been that long. No baseboard or door facings yet in the hallway. During the summer my friend Lisa and I started on the bathroom. It's the worse room in the house. They painted over ripped wall paper, vinyl flooring that's water stained, and it's all white. We have picked out wallpaper and tile and new stain for the cabinets. We have 3/4 of the walls papered, the ceiling sanded for repainting, and sanded the cabinets under the sink. Then we take on a side project of new window treatments in the living room, the study and bedroom. Finished with the living room, got rods for study and bedroom. And now we are taking a break and getting ready for the holidays.

December is going to be a busy month for us. We both are having surgery. My Ob/Gyn suggested weight loss surgery. We have done everything we could for infertility. But with my weight and hormones it's difficult to conceive or lose weight. She referred us to a surgical wt. loss clinic. After a battery of tests and insurance approval we have our dates set. We are getting a gastric bypass. Theron wanted to do surgery as well, so we are doing it together. The Dr. at the clinic recommends a month between our surgeries. Theron's is Dec. 8th and mine is on the 30th (will find out for sure on Monday). Surgery itself is a little scary, but we are excited about the results. And yes, before we leave this weekend we will both get a priesthood blessing!! Well I think that is enough for now...
