New Carpet

Well this summer the Wymount people, whoever they are, decided that we needed new carpet. This is a picture of the new carpet. Jake is convinced that they stole from a casino somewhere in Wendover. :) It has been two weeks since they replaced our carpet and it still stinks horribly! It's super ugly but at least we know it's clean and whatever junk we find on it, it's nice knowing it's our junk. haha!
This is what we had to do with all of our furniture. What a mess! Notice the bed and headboard along with our coffee table and of course our huge couch.

This is a picture of our old carpet. It was such a neutral color and matched pretty much everything! I liked it so much I took a picture of it. Oh, and that is our vaccuum.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Jake and I went and saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this past Friday night. It was AMAZING! It was just like the book. I hate it when movies come out that were originally books and they turn out completely different. Well this is not the case with Harry Potter. It was hilarious and sad and moving and fun and scary and just all-around AMAZING! I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. Seriously, go and see it.

In other news, Jake is speaking in church today. Good luck, Jake!!! Also, my mom had her galbladder (spelling?) taken out this past week and is doing better. Keep getting better, Mom!!!

Vacation and a Sleepover

Well this month has been an eventful one for Jake and I. Just this past weekend my sisters and our cousin Rachel came and spent the night here in Provo. Poor girls, they were crammed into our tiny apartment (as seen below) and were forced to visit Jake's work and take silly pictures (as seen above). But it was SO much fun! You guys can come sleep over anytime!

How did Princess Margaret end up with the couch? Oh, yeah, she's the princess. :)

For the 4th of July we were able to attend the Otting reunion (Jake's mom's family reunion). It was held in Iowa on the farm where she grew up. Since we were so close to Nauvoo we decided that it was a must for us to visit. Our Roundy family were the only ones at the reunion who are LDS so we were the only ones to visit Nauvoo. But it was so worth it! Nauvoo is such a special place and one that I love to visit! The temple is absolutely breathtaking. Our sister-in-law Jess got to go through a session and said it was amazing!

This is Jake and our little niece, baby Julia. She is seriously the sweetest baby ever! I heard her fuss once the entire trip. She is so beautiful and has red hair and chubby cheeks. I was excited to go to the reunion just to see her! She is a total Roundy which makes me wonder if our kids will look like Roundy's or Raines'?

Awkward Phone Call

Well everyone I got the most awkward phone call ever today at Vinyl Industries. This is how it went:

Me: Vinyl Industries, how may I direct your call?
Confused Woman: Um, Yeah, I just needed to talk to someone about a pump that I bought from you guys that isn't working.
Me: (completely confused) Uh....a pump? This is a fencing store.
Confused Woman: Oh wait, you don't sell breast pumps?
Me: (trying not to laugh out loud) No, sorry.
Confused Woman: Oh, OK. Sorry.
Me: No problem, good luck.
I hung out and busted out laughing. :)

Uh, yeah. It was a darn good thing one of the male salesmen didn't answer the phone. :)
In other news, our sister-in-law Melissa just found out she is going to be having a BOY! So exciting!

Vinyl Industries...My Home Away From Home

Well I am back. I have taken a month long vacation from life because I have been working, full time, at this place: Vinyl Industries. I am a receptionist there but I pretty much do a little bit of everything. Accounting, sales, secretarial stuff etc. Each morning I get to wake up at 5:30 am to take Jake to work (he also works here but has to start at 7:00am) and then I start work either at 8:00am or 9:00am. And I stay there until 5:00 or 6:00pm. I cannot even express to you my hatred of people who take all of their problems, sorrows and concerns out on the receptionist who holds absolutely no control. Just the other day I got yelled at (including all sorts of profanity) because one of our trucks ran over his front lawn. (Yes, he has a valid point and a valid concern but why take it out on ME?) However, the next day the man called back and apologized to me. He has been the only one to do so. My job consists of answering the phone calls of these insane people, giving people price quotes (right now the 6' privacy white fence is running at $12.95 per foot for materials. Installation is only $6.50 per foot if you are purchasing over 100' of material...blah, blah, blah), and running around for everyone else in the store. So now that you all know what I have been doing for the past month, if you are ever in the market for a vinyl fence just give us a call at Vinyl Industries and we can help you out! "Vinyl Industries, how can I direct your call?"

Happy Birthday Jake!

Happy Birthday to the greatest husband ever! Yesterday was his actual birthday, June 5, and it was actually my parent's 25th year anniversary as well! The morning was spent working...bummer. But the afternoon was fun! We went to lunch at Los Hermanos with my family and then went shopping. Jake bought some t-shirts, a tie, and another white church shirt. He got money from his parents, a costco card from my parents, a HUGE bag of Swedish fish from Margaret, and an AMAZING cake from Caroline. It was a fun day and I am so glad that Jake had a fun day! :)

I love you, Sweetie!!!
