Here We Are...{mostly}

Well, Teesha, in her kind and loving way reminded me that I have not posted pictures of the house.

We are still waiting for the contractor bids for the remodeling projects we want to do....can't wait!

{We will be re-doing the basement laundry room, the media room, carpet in the basement, the downstairs bathroom, the flooring and counters in the kitchen, flooring in the dinning room, cabinets in the upstairs bathroom, and a bit outside in the yard...whew! that's alot of remodeling!}

The main appeal to this house was the view of the valley and mountains. We knew we would be doing alot of work, but for the price we paid for this "little four bedroom, two bathroom, two car garage, starter house"...well...we couldn't pass it up.

When the first house, that I loved so much for all of its charm and location fell through, this was a good second option.

So for now...here they are....the front of the new TuCkEr HeAdQuArTeRs!


the kitchen in all of its splendor...{soon to have new floors and granite counters}


our lovely upstairs living room {our salesman at RC Willey, Rick, LoVeS seeing us!! soon to have a new fireplace and mantel}


the dinning room with an amazing view of the valley. since we no longer have the ocean view, we HAD to have a valley view! so beautiful....watching the colors change, wow! can't wait for the snow!


of course, every good 1950's era utah home has their food storage room. it is so neato! and of course the deep freeze to accompany it!


the downstairs bathroom {soon to be reconfigured, painted, and sparkly new!}

the media room with gailon's welcome home gift of a tiny 58inch plasma and surround sound...makes watching all of the movies an incredible experience... {soon to be rewired, paneling removed and replaced with new drywall etc, lighted with can lights, and all around spiffied up.} to the right of this picture is gailon's work area/office, as well as the computer stations for the network.}


All in all, a work in progress...but we are certainly glad we embarked on this journey! Come on over, there is plenty of room!!

R.S. Broadcast....don'tcha just love it!?

There are times in ones life when you begin to realize that maybe, just maybe, you are becoming more grown up...tonight... was one of those nights. As I watched the Relief Society Broadcast tonight, I realized that I am at a point in my life where I can relate to some of the stories and scriptures being shared. ScArY!!
