One Very Long Day

While these pictures look like just 2x4's to most people they looked amazing to me. The beginnings of rooms!

This day was one of the longest I can remember.  While fixing breakfast we got a very panicked call from Jessica, she had water running in her basement window and wanted some advice.  Kerry and I decided that we would go out and help her because we knew what she was experiencing first hand.  When we got there a friend was there helping her in the kitchen and Emma was watching a movie while Jessica was downstairs with a shop vac trying to get as much water out of the carpet as possible.  We helped her move furniture and empty as much of the room as we could.  then tried to help her find a company that does disaster relief to help dry the carpet and estimate the damage.  We connected her with a guy who was in our Stake and had helped us but it turns out he wouldn't drive out to Eagle Mountain.  So while we waited for his calls the water spread and caused more damage, thanks a lot!  She finally located another company and got the process started.  I felt bad for her because I have been in her shoes!

Next phase:  Kerry had a consultation on his sleep study and he does have Sleep Apnea and will have to be set up with a c-pap when we return from Honolulu. He was not pleased with the confirmation but I think we both expected it.  From there we stopped to Skippers for lunch and while there Reb called and we decided to meet her at our house and then go check out what see had happened on the new house today.  Which we did.  And it was fun to see more and more happening and rooms beginning. 

And Yet another phase:  After spending a lot of time wondering through the house we went to the Post Office in Lehi and started home.  As we got off of the freeway at 1600 we got a phone call from Natalie and they had locked themselves out of their car and needed us to come rescue them.  It was as we arrived in Lehi once again I realized I didn't have her house key and confirming they didn't we returned home to get the key and drop Rebecca off.  Once again we headed to Lehi to pick Natalie up and take her to her house to get keys.  One more trip to Lehi to drop her off to her family and then we headed home.  I am glad that we were still here and not in Honolulu when that happened.  Once again we see the need for everyone to have keys, and for me to return those keys to my purse.

This is one of those days where you are just ready to fall into bed!
