Almost There!

I have gone back to my old ways lately of not posting much on the blog front.  I do have photos of the last months events but I've been too busy to find the time to download them and get them on the blog!
We are just in the final stages of completing the build out and move to Craig's new dental office.  It's been a long process but we are in the final stretch and are so ready for this part of the journey to end!  The last 2 weeks have been unbelievably stressful but so far, we are hanging in there and the new office is incredible and worth the stress.  I have to say, I'm very pleased how its all come together.  The colors are warm and inviting and the layout is double the size of what he was working in before.  He even got a couch and TV in his office and we got this cool video arcade game for the kids waiting area that has all the video games from our younger days on it....pac man, donkey kong, centipede...etc. on it!  I think the adults might be in the kids waiting area as much as the kids are!  We also put in a refreshment area for the patients where they can get a cup of coffee, tea, cocoa, juice, water, etc. and have snack.  I think it's so cool!

We hired some really great people that know what they are doing and they have guided us all the way.  They were even there on Friday with me helping to hang the artwork and seeing to all the details.  They are as picky as I am about the details and it was so nice to have them there to assist us thru this process.  I'm so excited for Craig to be in a new, state of the art facility that is representative of him, not the dentist we bought the practice from 6 years ago.

We were supposed to attend Craig's brothers wedding in Sun Valley this weekend and unfortunately things were so far behind schedule that we had to cancel our flights and not go.  He got married today and we are really sad we were not able to go.  We hope it went well and that they were able to find someone to sing....I was supposed to sing and I felt terrible that I had to bail on them at the last minute.  I hate letting people down when I know they are counting on me.

It will be fun this week to see the new office up and running and I still have a lot more to do to finish the decorating side but I'm sure after a couple weeks, everything will be done and we can relax!

Relax, yeah right! We're invading soon. Mom said Iva postponed her trip so you won't have to worry as much about hosting us. We'll stay one week there and one week with you. Not to think you're off the hook completely though.......I'm sure you'll see more than you want to!

I have to say that the great artwork that adorned the old office will be sorely missed, but can't wait to see pictures of the new office! :)
