YICKS! Justin is 16

Justin turned 16 on the 16th of June.
He was a youth conference and wasn't expecting much. I had the YM pres. pick up a cake I had order. Justin was eatting dinner with some friends and someone told them they had to eat with everyone else. So they moved to where everyone was and as he walked in everyone started singing Happy Birthday. He was surprised.
He came home from youth conference and we had planned a party with his buddies. We took 10 friends to progressive power tumbling. It's a fun place in Provo with tramps and a rope swing that lands into a big foam pit. He had a great time with his friend do different dare devil stunts.
Sunday, the whole Barlow family was here for Father's Day. Justin was ordained a priest and we had a big BBQ. It was a great weekend.

We have a driveway

We have a drive way. The kids went and put their handprint in the cement. We were almost to late. It was starting to dry fast. Like these nice warm days were having.

They should be finishing up the painting today and tomorrow.

The applinces are coming on Wed.

We found someone who wants to live in our home. It will be hard to leave after 15 years.

We have been so blessed with wonderful neighbors and friends.

It will be different not living in a circle where the kids just go out and play, but someone else needs this home and great neighbors and a safe place to let their young kids play.

We have met most the neighbors at our new home and they all seem like great people. The kids have already made friends. Krista's friend can hardly wait until she moves in. It makes it easier to leave. But we're not going far, so we can see have our friends here.

They just split the ward we are moving into, and they already want to give us a calling. We keep telling them we haven't moved in yet, but it won't be long.

It's getting more and more exciting

Here's what it looks like now. The stucco is done, the drive is being leveled as I type.

The inside has been primed and is being painted at this moment.

The bathrooms and laudry are finished being tiled, the wood floor is in. It's so exciting to see the progresss.

No tax break for us

It's getting closer, but we won't be done and closed this week. It looks like it will be the 3rd week of July. It's okay, we would rather it be done right and good than to get the money and have it been hurried and not done right.

Drive way comes tomorrow. They are painting today and probably the rest of the week. Cabnets come next mon. carpet comes after that.
