house improvements

well the past few weeks have been a little slow for farm work so it has been nice to get a few things worked on at the house before the baby comes. the yard doesn't look any better because i cant handle being out in the heat long enough to work on anything, but fortunately i have a husband that will do it for me :) his latest project is our front deck. Previously no one could tell which was the front door and which was the back door since our driveway is on the side of the house. So a few weeks ago thomas ripped out our sad little platform of a deck and has been working on a much bigger one made from the extra scrap wood we found in the shed out back.

the platform you see just under the big front windows is the original deck.

the deck should be finished soon, we are just deciding what color to paint it now and then i will post pictures of the finished project :)

also thomas got me a piano! we managed to get it for free from a friend in royal. chase and anthony helped us move it into our front room since that is the only place it would fit so now i just need to re-teach myself how to play it.

baby update: nothing has changed lol. my stomach is bigger and i am more uncomfortable then i ever thought i could be but the doctor says everything is going good and we have not had any problems so im just waiting still. 3 more weeks to go! guesses on the name anyone? :) or suggestions maybe . . .

oh ya, one more tidbit of news. i was just called to be the beehive advisor in the young womens. its pretty crazy cuz i feel like i never left young womens since i have only been out about a year but im sure i will love it. my little sister ;) is in there so i am going to get to spend some awesome time with her for the next little while until she turns 14. currently thomas and i are ward missionaries and the nursery leaders as well so its going to be busy for while.
