July has been an eventful month. We were just leaving to go to Utah and pick up a friend of ours at the SLC airport when I discovered a leak in our basement ceiling--the ceiling we just had sheet rocked a few months back and had it ready to paint. Anyway we had a toilet leak on the main floor, ruining the hardwood in that bathroom. We aren't in that bathroom enough to have noticed. So you know what that mean? Yep, the same floors that we just sanded and redid have to be done all over again because the leak on the bathroom floor continued out into the hall and they can't guarantee that it will all match up so they just re-do the whole floor. I about died!! So now we have to remove everything from the entire main floor again and move out for a week while we have a company come in and do it. This time we'll leave it to the experts. I'm trying to just go with the flow and not let myself get all upset over it--overwhelmed is probably a better word. Anyway, on the 23rd, 24th and 25th we had our Spaulding Family Reunion that our family was in charge of. It was a lot of work and I worried about having enough food---we do like to eat---but we had more than enough. We had such a great time and hope everyone else did too. We really appreciated Jake and Lexie's help with all of the games for our Olympics. They probably put more work into the reunion than we did. They are awesome!! We missed having Cole and Pam (who were driving back from Washington DC) there, and McKenzie who was in Logan practicing for the Martin Harris Pageant and of course Taylor who's in Arizona. But it was great having Laci, Lex, and Jake. We missed all who were not there.
