A House becoming a Home

Okay so here are some pictures from about a month ago to now, the bottom picture is one I took this morning! It's coming along great!Footings
That's dad and my Uncle Gary doing the floor by hand.
Top flooring is laid

Walls are up for the upstairs and exterior sheet walls are going up

My Cakes so far

So I kinda got sidetracked on the cake deal....what with school and work and the internship and everything, but here are some pictures of the ones I did in the spring/summer.

Here is a clown cake we made for class... I went a little too crazy on it..lol

Here is a daisy, my mom did the middle and got sick of it so I did the rest
This is a rose bouquet cake we had to make for class, I made it for my mother in law for mothers day
Here is Ally's graduation day cake. My mom paid me handsomely in supplies for making it. :D
Here is a three tiered cake I made for my parents 25th Anniversary party Jana and I threw for them. That was a DAY of baking!
Underneath this photo is one of Cadens 1st Birthday cake. It did NOT turn out like the perfect picture on the wilton website :(. The problem was mostly that we couldn't get the brown sugar to stick to the castle pieces. But the white chocolate seashells were perfect!

Whew!

Hey all!
It's about time for an update isn't it?

So Mitch and I are busier than we have ever been in either of our lives. He is taking five classes and working for two companies, on very little pay or on equity in the company, who are trying to get investor money for their video games. The promising of the two is SeekMobile Interactive, which is making a video game for the Iphone. Oem is moving very quickly with their investors and we hope to have him working for money within a month or so.

I am working for the Post office for one more week and then it's on to TSA to be a Security Officer. The federal benefits are awesome. Health insurance here we come! I get sworn in as a federal employee on Sep. 29th. I am also taking 4 classes and one other class where I do 8 hours of internship a week. I intern with Tooele City Police department and I am having a blast there.

The house is coming along awesomely and my dad is doing amazing work for having a full time job and coming home and doing construction all by himself. Mitch and I owe him more than we can ever repay.

We are also going to Arizona next week after classes and between leaving my job and starting the new one. We are sooo excited to go see Lee and Jana and our neice and nephew. We miss them a lot.
I'll upload house progress pictures tonight or so. Latez!
