Construction time?

Hi family! We have been little busy bees around here this week! Joel had six days off which we love so very much! We got to go to Maizy’s talent show and watch her and Millie sing a duet of Taylor Swifts song “Mean”. It was so cute! Our builder came over and we talked digging. We want our old garage torn down so we can actually see the back yard but there is the problem of how much it costs to haul it all away. Ken came over at the end to pick up Sam and chatted with us a little. He came by the next day and told Joel we should use the cinderblocks for fill! Genius! (yes, I owe him! J) So we called Dan and he thought it was a great idea. Then we realized we needed both front steps gone so we could get the gas meter moved where the one is and get the other front steps poured the right direction. SO….Joel rented the jack hammer. I think that looks like my least favorite tool of all time! What a heck of a lot of work! We also had to clean out the entire garage including door and lights. It was all Joel’s stuff so Joel had to do most of the work on that one since he knew what he wanted and where. I HAD to go down to SLC to hang out with Megan A., Elisa, and Emily. We stayed in this really cool old building RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the city. It was awesome and cool until I tried to walk down the hall at night and I instantly remembered seeing the Shining in college and thought I was going to die of fright. Em came with me and we sang hymns and we walked out to the car to get treats and water. I felt really guilty the whole time because Joel was home jackhammering but Em had flown in so I couldn’t really just not go. Today Joel turned off the gas and moved the line outside so the gas company can move it in a few days when they come out. That means I get to sleep in the family room and feed the fire at night to keep the house warm. Fun times! Then we get to go to Mom’s for Easter! And Aleisa, “I’m in charge” J
