What A Week…

I know that it’s been a while since I posted anything. I actually have good reasons for not doing so. Last week was complete chaos in the Zohner home. Let me try and catch everyone up.

Last Friday, my sister Chelsea got married. Because of this, my mom came into town from Denver. The last time she was here, she made a comment about how the basement looked just as it had months earlier when she last saw it. I wasn’t about to let that happen again so I spent 35 hours over the weekend painting and installing the home theater speakers. I started on Friday afternoon and finally finished Sunday evening. Lucky for me, Chelsea and Nick came over and helped a bit which actually ended up helping a lot because without them, I wouldn’t have been ready on Monday when we had the flooring installed. Now I just have a few things left and then the basement will be complete. YAY!

After the basement was sort of out of the way, we moved on to the wedding complete with related activities. Between going to the temple with Chelsea, enjoying an awesome pre-wedding bar-b-que at Nick’s house, and the actual wedding with accompanying reception, the second half of the week was amazingly busy. Despite the general feeling of always having to be somewhere, it was all very nice. We were able to see a lot of faces from the past as well as meet a lot of new people. I think that we all enjoyed ourselves.

Once the wedding was out of the way, I was back to working in the basement. Last Saturday was spent at Home Depot realizing that I may be in big trouble. I was told that I should install the shower drain after the shower was installed. I found out that I should have actually done it beforehand. Now I’m in a position where I need to find a drain that I can use without ripping out the shower because that’s a big job that I just don’t want to do. Hopefully I can figure something out.

Other than the shower issue, the basement is coming along nicely. We moved the washer and dryer into place and were able to get Emma moved into her bedroom. She absolutely loves it. I’m not sure though if it’s the room that she loves or if it’s the fact that she now has her own room again. Either way, it’s a good situation and bedtime has been much smoother since she moved downstairs since Alex can no longer keep her awake at night.

We’ll that’s pretty much it. I have a few things that I’m hoping to post within the next few days. Hopefully I’ll be able to find the time to get my thoughts together and post them here. Stay tuned.
