Homeowners

Do you all love the way I blog? You get nothing for two weeks, and then BAM! I hit you with post after post. It's my life. That is just how things work. 
Last weekend (this is like two weekends ago now) was filled with home projects. And by home projects I mostly mean cleaning. I can officially say our house is CLEANED!!!! Well it probably needs to be dusted again, but for the most part it is clean. Not everything is quite put away, but the rooms have been cleaned. *Confession* We forgot to turn on our gas so that meant we had no hot water for about 5 days. I was getting tired of taking cold showers so Saturday morning we went down to my grandma and grandpa's to use theirs. Matt saw there were going to be garage sales down there so we went to go check it out. I have never been to such an organized community sale before. Check this out!


They pinned each house on the map. There were also descriptions along with the main items sold at each address. Talk about organized! 
Matt also got a ladder from his favorite new shopping place, Craigslist. We were finally able to change the battery in our chirping smoke detector and have a light in our hallway! It's the little things!


After completing all our home stuff in the morning, we felt it was necessary fora little break. Over the past two years, they have built two Mormon temples in the Phoenix valley. We missed our chance to see the one in Gilbert. Once they are dedicated non-Mormons are not allowed in. They just finished this one in North Phoenix. 


I was expecting to get a tour with 20-30 other people. As we were driving over there Matt said we had to park at another lot and get bussed to the temple. Well us and 2,000 others. It was crazy!!!Our tour group didn't really last. We just followed the lineI think we went on the busiest day to date. We got there in the middle of the afternoon and 21,000 people had already been there! Just. That. Day...They did an amazing job organizing everyone. We were able to go just about everywhere in the temple. It was kind of like going through a museum. They didn't allow pictures to be taken inside which was too bad because it is BEAUTIFUL!! If you ever get the chance to tour one, I totally recommend it. 


I can't even remember what we did that Sunday. It must have been a pretty chill day before we got back to the grind of the week.
