Thacker Thoughts

Okay, so I know it has been awhile, and we really didn't disappear. Here are some pics of our recent doings.

First, Trent found his most recent love(and money pit) an RC car. He spends most evenings driving it, charging, breaking it, and fixing it. I am sure that his mom is excited for us to be gone, because the random car parts will no longer be all over in her house.

We have also been camping a few times in our new trailer. I took a picture of her on our most recent camping trip to Aspen Grove campground at Strawberry Reservoir. We went with my side of the family for Pioneer Day. It was really fun and it is always so beautiful up there.

So, we spent the weekend in my parents boat. I pulled Trent on the tube, and then he got his turn at me. Luckily he was nice, so he got to come back home with me!

Now, we are in for a very busy week. We spend Tuesday night signing all of the final papers for our house, and we get the keys on Wednesday! Wahoo! Then, we spend Wednesday night and Thursday painting the master bedroom and moving in. We opted to paint the bedroom before we moved in because Trent literally refuses to stay in it without a paint job. It is currently bright lime green. Don't get me wrong, in the right room and the right house, this lime green color might be lovely, but it is not for us! Anyway, we will spend our first night in our new home on Thursday. I just hope I can get pretty settled quickly because I have to read Breaking Dawn this weekend, and we all know that whatever there is to be done will be put off until reading the book is finished! I am so excited for that to come out!! (For those of you who don't know, Breaking Dawn is the final book in the Twilight series, I love those books).

Okay, so I know that we have seriously sucked at blogging lately! Sorry everyone. We went to Flaming Gorge for the 4th of July. We went camping with my family. It was really fun, we took our new trailer out for the first time. Yep, that's right, I no longer have to sleep in a tent when we camp! We bought a trailer. It was great, and I slept so good in it! We didn't take any pics while we were there, but we did have fun tubing and water skiing, among other things.

This week I also got the status of my job all cleared up! Hooray! I was so happy with the way everything turned out too! I was able to talk to Dr. Y, whom I have previously referred to, and work out the schedule with him. So, I work for him on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then I got this other 2 day a week job really close to my house. The Dr. there is great, and I actually knew him and his staff when I worked at my old job as a dental assistant. (His office was right next to ours.) So anyway, I love the girls, they are all cute and young, and the doctor is wonderful. The office is really nice, so that helps too. I work for him on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am so excited! I am officially going to be working 4 days per week now, like I wanted! The only bummer is that since they are both part-time jobs I don't get the perks, like holiday pay, vacation, etc. But, someday that will come, I am sure!

Trent and I also took on quite the project this week. As you all know we close on our new home is just a few weeks, so we have been preparing in any way we can. We've bought the necessary furniture, etc. So, we bought this great TV armoire on KSL, it is huge, and I wanted to paint it and antique it to put in my future living room. I didn't realized how huge it was when I thought up that great plan. So, anyway it took some work but it turned out great. Just what I was going for. I tried something different this time too, because I thought it would be easier. I used spray paint. It actually is supposed to enhance the antiqued look because it kind of makes stuff look like it has been ragged. Anyway, I was proud of myself...

Here are some pics of it(i forgot to take a before shot, so all you get is the after)
