As most of you already know...we have been busy with a summer project...my parents house!! We pretty much gutted the upstairs down to the bare walls and floors on Memorial Day weekend, and have been working since to repair the damage!! We have thouroughly enjoyed having free reign and the nice funding by Mom and Dad...it has empowered us to do some great things. About the middle of the summer, I wasn't sure we would be able to finish...it was getting a little overwhelming, but thanks to the prayers of some mighty missionaries...things seemed to fall into place and move very quickly! We have enjoyed the weekends when Clint and Katie were able to go down with us and work...it always speeds things up with a couple of extra hands...and we have loved eating at Cafe Rio (Thanks to Mom and Dad) every afternoon after we have been working hard! I must say that the project is about to come to a close...so little left to do, one more weekend should accomplish that...I would love to post pictures, but we are keeping it under wraps until the Missionaries can return home and be the first to see their new home...so you'll all have to wait just one more month, or visit when they get back! Most of all, I would like to thank Brent, of which all this would not have been possible to accomplish without him. He is definitely a man of many trades and can do about anything...besides being a HARD worker...we have enjoyed the time together and have had a great memorable experience. Hopefully Mom and Dad will love it...and it will be a comfortable place in which to retire, or at least rest for a short while!! They are always busy, always serving others...they deserve a break, (at least for a week or two!)

Thanks for your informative post and your sweet tho'ts for us!! We thank you both so very, very much for all the HARD "sweat equity" you have put into this project -- we will be forever grateful to you. And to Clint & Katie too, we know they have helped lots too. We know this has been a labor of love and we appreciate all your wonderful efforts!! A special THANKS to Brent, we know he is the master "jack of all trades" builder and HARD worker -- and he is still "my favorite son-in-law"!!!
We love and appreciate you all more than you know.
Mom & Dad
