Carpets Cleaned!

We went to bed at midnight last night (cause we're at the kids mercy up here.) I woke up at 6 to wake up Abi so she could drive down to Sandy to take a math test. She took the van. I laid back down after that, then woke up for good around 8, Corey and Joseph &Eliza, Hyrum, and Seth went on a ride. Mel was going to go, but when she saw Mary being watched by Sophi and Natalie, she decided to stay back and help with that. Joseph to Mel "I see where your priorities are..." I don't blame her, Mary sooo sooo cute! After the bikers left, I felt free to leave. I took Mel's car. So they left for a ride and I left for home before our 1:00 carpet cleaning appointment. I left Park City around 9, took my RS Presidency meeting call as I drove. We were done at 9:30 so I pulled into Momentum for a quick climb before I went home for the carpets to be cleaned. Did 40 boulders, 22 attempts, 18 sent. 

I said this in Monday's post, but I texted the carpet guy yesterday to see if we could change from Wed to today, cause Corey arranged for a bike ride with Kyle tomorrow at 11 and wanted me to come, cause we're going to revisit dead tree, and Hyrum is going to come to get some drone footage. So thankfully the carpet guy still had an opening today from 1-2-ish (I knew the openings he had from quite a bit of texting back and forth last week, and I checked with Corey several times that Wednesday was good, so then it was just kinda funny that he arranged the ride right when I needed to be in SL for the carpet cleaning. Today he texted around 11:30 to ask if he could come at noon, and I had things ready on the main floor so that worked out great. I didn't see Abi. After her test, she headed straight back up to get there in time for the river. I was vacuuming the carpet and picking up legos and earrings and moving furniture ahead of him.  I got the main floor ready and he took care of that while I finished prepping the upstairs, moving a few more things from the bedrooms into the laundry room and bathrooms. 

Before pic - you can see the high traffic areas there.

And the after pic - all clean. Ahh, I can breathe!

I really love the Roto clean carpet brush that the Aspen Carpet guy uses. He does a great job too. It is so nice to see them clean. Now we just need to move out of this house so we never get them dirty haha.  I went to Costco after the carpets were done and got a lot of food. Corey wanted more peaches. I picked up peaches for him plus other stuff for our stir fry/rice bowls meal on Thursday. Now I am down here blogging for a bit more, while I wait for Abi to tell me what she wants to do for dinner on Thursday (she said she'll be in charge of it). I need to know if I'm bringing up chicken or shrimp, and if she wants fresh veggies or fried? I got enough for both. Whatever we don't use at Park City we can have on Sunday when people come over for Mary's baby blessing. So I'm blogging while I wait, and I'm enjoying the quiet. The furniture is all in the kitchen piled around me. I finished three more December posts, yay, just need to do two more! Dec 22 and 23. And I need to do the ward RS Newsletter, which needs to be ready to send out Friday morning. We'll let the carpets dry and maybe I'll bring Hyrum down early on Saturday to help me put things back together before everyone gets home from Park City. 

Everyone else floated the Provo River today. Last year was my first time, and it was fun. It would have been fun to go again, but I was also ok to miss it cause cleaning the carpets was my #1 priority. Corey said he didn't get any pics, cause his hands were full. He had Katharine with him and she was scared and said "I don't want to be brave..." He said it made him think of how it must be in his own relationship with God and the trials he is facing in life, hoping that God has him and won't let him drown. 

I'm back up at Park City now. Daniel played his sax with the blues band tonight, his first public performance!

Joseph Mel Ethan and Hyrum were in charge of dinner. We took the group pic today because Seth and Isaac are leaving for Chile tomorrow. 

I'm going to keep blogging. I guess I'm not making it on a ride today, that's ok. I'm not training for the Olympics, so it's good for me to stick around.
