We had visitors come see our house! By visitors, I mean that my parents, an aunt, uncle, cousin and Matt and Joanna were willing to drive 45 minutes from SLC to see our house.
My uncle Reid, aunt Cathy and cousin Christy were down in SLC for a couple day (they are from Kennewick, WA) and were willing to come see the house progress with my parents. The kitchen is coming along. Bart tiled the kitchen floor, put up the walnut veneer on the sides of the cabinets and got the laundry closet painted-
which hopefully means that we won' need to move the washer and dryer again!!!! My uncle Reid is a plumber, so he a Bart looked over the plumbing and the new tub in the downstairs bathroom and then I went to the BYU bookstore and got a free dinner with my parents :) Thanks again M &D.

We decided to hire out the drywall and mudding for the downstairs apartment. Bart truly hates mudding and neither of our back's can handle drywalling the ceiling, so this really has been the best money we have spent. It's great to see the basement being transformed.
The day after my family came down, Matt and Joanna (Bart's sister) stopped by. They were nice enough to let me show them the entire house-room by room. Matt and Joanna are in the process of remodeling their house in Sandy, so they know how we feel-the pain and the admiration. When Joanna was looking at the kitchen she turned and said, "Wow your kitchen looks even better than the pictures on your blog and the kitchen before looked even worse than the pictures showed". That was the nicest thing that she could have said!

Your house is amazing. I can't believe how driven Bart is and how much you two get done. The tile looks great. If it was me, I would still be trying to decide which tile to buy!! You two are a great team.
I love to come see the progress every couple of weeks.
I'm so glad we were able to stop by and get a tour! I love how the tile turned out in the kitchen. And, I love how it looks staggered! I think we might do this (at some point)! The Pewter looks fantastic. Is that what you decided for everything? I love it! It was fun to see you guys too :)
Wow was I ever behind on your blog updates. Things are looking awesome!
I will call you soon I promise! I've just had company since the baby so I haven't gotten much alone time (not that I'm complaining).
I'm excited to see your house when we come in December.
Seeing your bathroom all roughed in gives me anxiety!!!! Our bathroom was finished too shortly ago, for that pain to be gone!!!
