How many trucks does it take to build a house?????

The man is making a trench for the electrictiy. Bringing it down near the house

They are pouring the first of the cement for the long driveway. This will be nice.

The final resting place for the electricity. We will have to hide it with bushes.

Tomorrow we get a driveway! They will pour it in 3 days total as it goes quite a ways. It will be nice to drive to the door. It's happening!

That is the quest bathroom cabinets minus the drawers!

This is the area where the table will go, by the double doors to the outside.

More cabinets!!! We measured wrong in a few places so we are making some adjustments. We will use the leftovers behind the toilets and downstairs when we build. It is going to work out just fine.


This is the bonus room. Look our doors arrived!!! Check out the little ones for the hidden places in the roof.

This is our bedroom.

Check out the walls, a primer coat in the color we want is on the walls. The floors are in, oak hardwoods. The floors aren't sanded and sealed yet. They are assembling the cabinets! They will put them up on the walls today. Wow!
Larry and I left our house behind and went away for the weekend. We went to Atlanta and stopped to pick out some counter tops for vanities and carpet. Then it was a 5 hour drive to Tallahassee. We stayed in this hotel, the bedspread kept me up at night! The next day we went to the BYU game. Sunday we drove back to Atlanta to attend church in our old ward. One of my favorite seminary kids was giving a talk before leaving on his mission. The whole family spoke, it was great, they are special to us. They had a little gathering that night too that we stayed for. We ate dinner with our dear friends the Morrisons and then went to Dallin's gathering and drove home late at night.
This is the house in Tallahassee where Grandpa live when he was a senior in high school.It has 5 bedrooms and a pool in the back yard. Dad has such good memories of this home and place. He went to the high school that was run by FSU. It was like a private High School. This home is now a home for Boys who need help.


This is the church that the Isaksen family helped build. They even took the grass from their big back yard and used it to sod the church. So that is Isaksen grass at the church! 45 years old! Larry had some good memories going by the church. Seminary was held up at the high school but now there is an institute building in the back or the church.

I loved the moss covered trees, they are so pretty.
Another view of the Chapel across from the FSU campus.

This is a picture of the moss that grows on the trees. It isn't good for the trees put it is beautiful. Tallahassee is a pretty town.

The Thomas and the Isaksen meet at the Olive Garden before the BYU vs. FSU game. We enjoy our friends and we love to go out to lunch so it was a great day!

We went to the tale-gate party. It was fun. They had a lot of activities going on. The local missionaries did a lot of the service. They got to attend the game too, only they had to where their casual clothes and blend in. Some of the Elders had on FSU shirts and I told them I would watch there stuff while they changed their shirts. Ha Ha They said they had to support their investigators...who is buy that one?

That is Michael Jackson with the Glen and Kim. The less famous Jackson. He is Abe's wife's dad, they came to the game with us. They are so nice. We had fun.
