The Long Honey-Do List

By Pam Jorgensen -
Scott has been on sabbatical from work since November 15th. We have had some fun times doing absolutely nothing, doing things together, and going to MO for Christmas. Throw in his shoulder surgery and we've kept pretty busy!

Last week we realized he only has one more week off. (If you count that's 9.5 weeks off) Quickly we came up with some things to get done before he has to go back.

We decided on home renovations. The projects include:
shelves in the garage so we can park in there again,
taking Carson out of Rylee's room and setting him up in the guest room,
repainting big boys room and Carson's new room,
moving the food out of the storage closet,
moving it to the pantry,
moving the office supplies to the storage closet because they were in what is now Carson's room
cleaning out the pantry to make room for the food from the closet
moving our food storage into closet

All these projects done in such a short time makes for a HUGE mess in my house

It will all be worth it...right?

Wow Pam, you guys have been up to a million projects! They all look really really good. I LOVE the storage cupboards in the garage; one of these days we'll have to add some. Also, the kids rooms turned out really cute. We're still finishing some of that stuff around here too! I'm ALWAYS happy when the projects are done and done well, but sometimes getting to that point takes a lot of patience!!

Has my absence made your heart grow fonder?

By Pam Jorgensen -
Just wondering... I'm back I'm behind I'm intimidated There is no way that I can "catch up" with this blog.  It's a daunting task.  It's one reason I'm so far behind!  I want to post but then I see the enormous amount of time and posts that have past since my last and I walk away. So...I will sum up.   Sorry...wordy and no pictures. After our fun trip to Moberly, MO, we joined Jen, her kids and Gma J in a caravan to SLC for the Plewe Family Reunion.  We were so excited to be traveling with family making travel life more fun with cousins!  We did have fun but the hellish travel trends continued to plague us!  At one stop Gma locked her keys in the car...we waited for a LONG time till AAA could come and break us in.  This put us into our first stop pretty late but nothing unmanageable.  However, when we got to our hotel in Cheyenne, WY the hotel we had a reservation at (and called to confirm just a couple hours before) had given our ...
