More projects..some fun! Some not so fun...

Well, first off, the week after we arrived, after we had just unpacked everything and were finally feeling settled in, we were woken up at 3 AM by sirens going throughout the apartment. It told us to drop all operations and exit the building immediately. It was so scary! We did get to meet a real firefighter, though! He told us that something had happened with the sprinklers through some of the apartments and if we didn't have any water in our's, we were ok to go back. The only problem we thought we had was our air conditioner was leaking a little bit. We learned later that someone had apparently hung a hanger on one of the sprinkler heads, setting it off. They weren't in their apartment so it went off for 40 minutes, setting off a bunch of other sprinklers. Over 30 people had to move out because their aparments were so damaged. We got so lucky! Across the hall, sprinklers were set off, but luckily our's was safe! They did have to rip out some of our walls because we had some water damage inside, but other than that, we were good. Here are some pictures of that! Fun times!

So this is when they cut the holes in the walls and heated our place up! It was so hot! They brought in big blue dryer things. Not annoying at all...

This isn't even the hottest that it got!

My cute hubby :)

This is after they covered up the holes

After they painted. Still needs the floor boards.

I think I like the big gaping hole where the vent usually is!

This is the hallway upstairs from us.

Crazy stuff!

Kari studying away!

We went down to the Newport Temple. It was gorgeous! Probably  my favorite temple! It was so much fun :)

The cool chapel across the street

Then we headed to Huntington Beach :)

The waves were HUGE!!! The lifeguard even had to go out Baywatch style and bring a guy back in. Not something you see everyday!

We painted the message board for our kitchen.

This is the couch cover and pillows I hand stitched! It was fun :) It's not perfect, I know! But I think it's pretty cute :)

We finally got our front room back! No more workers! Love it!

We found out we get way better reception in our bedroom, so that's where our tv is now! Visitors can look at themselves! haha :)
