Remodling has begun!

First we had to clean out the laundry room and change things in there. Then we were able to clean out the little bedroom and move some of the items into the laundry room. This is great because we are throwing out a bunch of stuff we don't need.
Steph also picked out carpet and paint for her room. So as soon as we are done painting, we can put things away and then we can start on Steph's room. We want all the painting done before we put he carpet in.
I sure hope we get this all done before the 9th, as we are having people stay with us for Adrian & Lizzy's wedding.
Then while we were working on things last night, B&C stopped in. They bought a brand new car. WOW, them and Jim & Deenie have new cars, that is so awesome. B&C said they couldn't get what they wanted for their impala on trade in, so they sold it to us for super cheap. Which it is the kind of car EO wanted to get and it is just what we needed, being the van currently only gets about 14 MPG ... so horrible. Lauren really needs a car, and she really wanted the van, so we will sell it to her for super cheap and then we will have the car.
We had gotten Lauren a car a while back but she wasn't in a position yet to drive it, it ended up going to Colton and we felt bad because Lauren got jipped out of her car. So we wanted her to be able to get the van for next to nothing. Plus we are getting help to get it all fixed up for her, so the gas gauge will work and other things will be all fixed up too. We are also getting help to get the truck all fixed up. So instead of putting money aside for all these repairs, we will be able to focus on paying bills.
The best part, is having everything fixed up in time for pioneering in March.
We are just so so so thankful for all the help we have been given. Jehovah has blessed us with the help we really needed and a truly amazing family!
