Finally Done

So I am finally done with my basement. I went and picked up my sectional today and got it all set up. I has been a while in waiting but am thankful for all those that helpped me out. I have such a great family and great friends to put up with me and helpped get the basement looking as good as I think it does. Here are a few Pictures:






This is the new carpet on the stairs. Also, I painted the wall on the left with help from Jason.



View from the far end by the bar.

This is looking towards the bar area.Granite counter top, Cabinets, Sink, fridge and candy machine in the new bar.

New sectional for the basement. A little light but I hope it will work out ok.

Sectional with the recliners all out.

And one last one.

Air Hockey table and crossed hockey sticks for the old man.

Staci and Martin came over and helpped me set up my air hockey table. I played Stac and kicked her butt!!!(13-4).


Thanks again for everyone that helpped. MOM-washing the walls, going with me to pick out my sectional, Jason -EVERYTHING(bathroom, bar, carpet, sectional and putting up with me. Brandon-demo and bringing the sectional down stairs, Stac and Martin helpping me put together the hockey table. Amanda for listening to me complain that I wasn't sure everything would work out and helpping me pick out carpet.


If I forgot you I'm sorry but know that I love you all so much. I know it is different from the old basement which we spend many great times in but, I look forward to making many special memories with all of you in the new basement. I wish the old man was here to see how it looks and enjoy it all with us.

Holidays/NEW YEAR 2009

Well It's been about a month or so sense my last post so I thought I better write something. Christmas was great this year I got all 5-6 things I asked for and then my mom gave all the kids these kick butt emergency buckets with ton'z of stuff in them so that we will be safe. Thanks mom and Doug for a great Christmas. Also from a family member Gayla got my name (I think she always gets it) But we did kind of a food storage gift with a 1-2 dollar gift so Gayla got me again just what I wanted, Lemon heads, some burritos and this awesome little police man kit with a shield, chest plate and a baton.


Mom and Doug flew out to North Carolina at 2 on Christmas day so I hung out till about 7 and then Brandon and I went and saw a movie.Also Derek was in town my friend that is going to school back east for the holidays. It was great to see him and talk about old time when we worked together at my old job BC Sales. I was able to pull him away from the family for a little while and take him to the Jazz game. It was a lot of fun the Jazz won which makes it that much better. I'm grateful to stay in touch with him cause he is such a great person and had to work/put up with me for 6 years.

NEW YEAR

So with the new year upon us I have been thinking for a while now of going back to school because I'm so close to getting my associates degree and I love to learn.....Just kidding well it's all true but I'm going back cause I miss playing Hockey. Weber State is doing great this year and I love coaching but I still have that drive of wanting to be out on the Ice in big moments. So I am trying to get my butt in shape so I can prove that a old man like me can still play. I still have to see if I can work it out with work and everything and if the coach will even let me on the team.

The basement is still coming along getting closer and closer. I should get my cabinets in on Tuesday the 6Th and Jason has already picked up my counter tops and I must say they are going to be cool. After that it is just carpet and small stuff. I will keep everyone informed and take pictures when it gets closer to being done. Here are a few pictures of Puck and my Present.

It's to cold to go outside

I am so good looking, I'm just going to stand here and look good.

Here's to a lick'n good year and another on the way

LOVE

PUCK

Also for the start of this new year I want all my friends and family to know how much I love them and how grateful I am to have such a great family and great friends that put up with me. You all help me out so much and I would be lost with all of you. Mom for being mom, Jason and Brandon for all his help on my basement, Sara and kids for watching Puck. Staci and Gayla for letting Mr. Puck out when I'm at work. Martin for fixing my crap computers. All the kids for letting me pick on you and knowing I still love ya. Nick, Mike, and Jeremy for being my best friends and letting me hang out with you guys, and Amanda for still keeping in touch and helping me with everything your the best!!! And if I left anyone out like my cousins and such know that am grateful for you also . Again I hope you all know how much I love you and how important you all are to me.
