Things that make me happy..... and things that make me not so happy!

So I've had a crazy couple of weeks and thought that instead of going into full details I would pretty much sum everything up in four pictures. Let's start with what's made me happy the last couple of weeks.......First of all Jed got to come home for 4 days!!! That's the first time he's been home for more than 12 hours in about two months! YAHOOO!!! The second thing to make me happy is that Sarah and Marcy came to visit for a few days while attending Women's Conference at BYU. I was too apostate to join them.......actually Women's Conference is the busiest time of year at our hotel. You might ask why that is.......let me explain........it's pretty much because we have 100 rooms at our hotel but about 1,000 guests staying........how is that possible you might ask??........well, do the math......you have 1,000 cheap women staying in one hotel so if you figure that out---that means you have 10 women crammed into one room and they have the nerve to get totally mad when you don't have 5 roll away beds to put in each room!!! So let's just say that Women's Conference isn't such a spiritual experience for me. So back to Sarah and Marcy, it was super fun to have them here! We had a blast chatting, eating, eating, eating, and chatting some more. Oh and of course we managed to work in a trip to the MAC counter! I told them they are we should make a tradition of them coming and staying at the casa de Baadsgaard every year for Women's Conference. Oh, one more thing that has made me happy is my tulips FINALLY came up and aren't they sooooo purdy!

































Now how about a few things that made me not so happy the past few weeks.....First and foremost is that we had 3 tenants move in and out in one weekend and Jed was out of town so I got to play landlord all by myself!!! It wouldn't have been so bad but one apartment had to be painted and one apartment was left a WRECK!!! Above is just a few pictures of the apartment that wasn't cleaned. I hired my sister-in-law Karlee to clean the place and it took her 8 hours with me helping her about 3 of those hours to get it done. The tubs alone took her 2 hours and about 6 magic erasers!! DISGUSTING!!! With the help of Jed's brother Chad and his wife Marie and his dad we were able to get the place painted and cleaned and ready to be moved in! I'm so grateful for Jed's family.......I would have been a mess without them!!!
