Cool Things To Update You On

Playing with the Rhonna Designs app after a night at Rocky Mountain Raceway watching the drag races on a Saturday evening. 

Catching Up with Random Pics

My brother and his wife were in town from Rexburg for their spring break and we all went to eat at Sweet Tomatoes. The had never been before but I think they liked it a lot. Laura & Riley joined us too. Tony took the picture...this was after we ate. 

Taking in Water

Last week I walked downstairs to get some breakfast and as I stood on the carpet getting a muffin, my socks started getting wet. Then I realized I smelled water. Yuck. Started to investigate and found out that rain from the recent storm had gotten inside by the kitchen.

Water seeping through the carpet

Water spots over by the window

Spots of mildew? or mold?

Online it said mold can be fuzzy & slimy. It's hard for me to tell though if this is mold or mildew. We had a carpet down over the original carpet and when I pulled it up, that's when I found the spots :( I think its mildew but not 100% sure on that

Spots around the vent

Just took some pictures to document. In the afternoon the landlord's son came and cleaned the carpet and pulled up the padding underneath and cleaned things up a bit. A few days later an evaluation company came to see where the water was coming from and it was determined that behind the drywall, underneath the window, there is a crack and that is how water is coming in.

So far this week we have not heard what is going to happen next. It'd be nice to take out carpet and put linoleum down once the crack is repaired. I hope we find out soon what is going to happen so we can put our downstairs back together again!

Treacherous Driving

We left Sunday after sacrament mtg in my parents ward to head back to Salt Lake so I could catch my flight back to Phoenix on Monday morning.

We left around 1230? I think? and the drive through Boise started out nice and sunny. Then the weather started to get worse.

saying bye to my mom. Next time I see her will be at my wedding! Eek!

Passing my favorite group of trees..somewhere past Boise area I think

 Top left and top right pictures are driving on a road to Nampa, one day clear , the next day snowy and icy!

 Top pictures are cars that drifted off the road because they were going too fast for the weather conditions. The one on the top right is a guy who passed us who thought he was so cool. Bottom left - a white wilderness. Bottom right - the road was like that the majority of our drive. Major scary and we started sliding once but Tony - bless his heart - was able to get us back on track.

No bueno. Click to enlarge. We passed over 15 cars that had slid off the road and might or might not have been facing the wrong way from the direction they were going.

I'm SO grateful that our rental car was a bit larger than the economy one we had paid for but then they upgraded us. Also for Tony and his mad driving skills that kept us safe. The road we needed to get back to SLC was closed so we had to keep going to Pocatello, then cut over. All in all I think we added an extra 2 hours or more to our 6 hour trip but it was good to be back in Utah and I did catch my flight on time on Monday. De-icing the plane delayed us but other than that, I was SO happy to get back to the Arizona weather! MUCH NICER than snow and ice and freezing temps!
