Our Petri-Dish


Ever since we moved in over a year ago, our walls have been growing mold. Over time, the mold has gotten so out of hand that it is almost comical (kind of like out of control lice can be comical). Finally, the owners of the apartment decided it might be time to rebuild and reinsulate all of the walls in our house. Their timing was most inopportune by my standards, but on the same token we felt anxious to have the mold taken care of. Can you imagine why?

So, we moved all of our belongings out into the stairwells and my front room turned into this:
We are almost finished moving back into our apartment. The mold is gone, the lice is gone- we hope.

Never a dull day at your house, is there?

This is a story better told after (or almost after) it's over. I have a few stories I am waiting to tell when they are over, too! Chapter one is "Texas Sized Bugs."

What next? I'm glad you haven't lost your sense of humor. A quote from Pres. Monson might be helpful at this point: "Whatever hour God has blessed you with, take it with grateful hand, nor postpone your joys from year to year, so that in whatever place you have been, you may say that you have lived happily ever after...May we adapt to the changes in our lives...realize what is most important...express our gratitude always and thus find joy in the journey." Love you guys.

I'm so glad you've got that behind you. I'm afraid to ask what next? Hopefully some much needed rest, eh? Kim, you are my hero! You are such a great example to me of courage.
