Another one down

Well it has come to an end. We are so glad that it is over. 2008 was nice but, now that it is gone it is nicer.
Still no baby, shut up. We are trying so get off it.
Mel is still working at the same places and i am still doing whatever it takes.
The house is still not completed and i know...don't remind me.
Cinna is pregnant again. That will be fun in the spring again. It is also a nice springtime vacation bonus.(if we can sell them)
We now have a dumb cat. Mel says cute kitty. (kookoo) It just showed up. i hate cats but i hate mice more and it has caught one so it can stay. It lives in the garage, and hates Cinna and Jake. Well we all hate Jake's slobber so i can't blame her for that. but Cinna is perfect so that is why it is a stupid cat.Mel named her Midnight, i call her kneepooss. I do not know why. Yes, she is a black cat w/green eyes. She looks like she is half squirrel.
Secrets On The Wall, our vinyl company has finally done well. It has finally broken even so that is good. I have found some vinyl that glows-in-the-dark..but, it is 180$ for a ten yard role. So, we are putting all of the money from the machine back into it for that stuff. I still should be able to do ok with it. Here is a little secret.....the vinyl for the average tile has a cost of less then a quarter,the rest is all mark up. so the Glow will cost us about 2 bucks so if I charge five we will be ok.
I have purchased a , skid-steer and a cabinet shop. i know that is what i used to bitch about Marlin for but.....it is fun. We will make it work. With the economy being the way it is you need to be diversified.
We just had our third anniversary. Boy time flies while you are in prison. Ha Ha we are having a blast. We wish we had some brat's to share it with though. but neener neener ya-all, Our kids are angels, so yes we can critique all of yours. Yes we do. Don't you wish sometimes we all could be so luck as to have the perfect knowledge back as we did in the beginning. I bet we would all shit our pants.
We finally had pictures taken to give to our families and we screwed them up I guess. We were informed this past weekend they were supposed to have Ashlee in them. (Ashlee is Nate and Karen's little girl our niece) So we will have to redo them for her. She is so cute.
We mad major progress on the yard in 2008. The back is nearing completion. We are ready to finish up the sprinklers and then sod-it. it is pretty close to being done. The deck is all in. We need to do a little rail down the stairs and it is finished. The patio is done(pavers) kind-of. i need to tear out a section to run my gas lines under them. We have been "finding pavers" and boy we have "found" plenty. We will be replacing our driveway this year with pavers and concrete in a lattice design. Lots of work.
Well that was a fraction of our year in a nut-shell. We have had a good time. We hope it just gets better before I check out. We are grateful for our friends and family(who ....well some are our friends too)too. We love you all and hope you know I am usually teasing or just full of shit. Have a great 2009.

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I must have grabbed the wrong cd at new year's time. I don't have all the pictures of sledding. If you still have all the pics could I get a copy?


Who are the Keels

Kelly and Melissa met on April 1st 2005. They were set up on a blind
date by a couple friends from their jobs. One of Kellys electricians
was married to one of Melissa's front office people, Andy and Tona
Fulmer. Thanks to them, they became Kelly and Melissa.
After dating for a few months they became engaged and entered into
the covenant of marriage on December the fifteenth 2005.
While they were engaged they began to build their home in
pringville Utah. This is where they currently reside and yes they are
still building the same home. Kelly is a builder and has done the
majority of the work. It has become a home that will keep them busy
for a while. At just over five thousand feet it is a lot of house and
project. Besides the financial expence the home has cost time and one
of Kellys digits. Worth every ounce though.
Melissa is a Dental Hygienist for two offices and four dentists
in Utah Valley. Her Monday, Wednesday office is in Provo for Dr.
Larry Braithwaite. Her tuesday, Thursday office is a mile from her
home and has a father son team and an outsider. Dr.'s Rulon and
Jared Condie and Dr. Brian Tuft. She enjoys her job and it keeps her
busy.
Kelly, on top of the house, has recently purchased a cabinet shop
and is still selling granite counter tops for Rock Solid. Once the
economy turns again, he plans on renting a space and building custom
building components from furniture to stair parts(Treads and Risers).
Kelly grew up raising English Springer Spaniels. Soon after moving
into their home Kelly talked Melissa into a puppy which became Cinna.
Melissa soon fell in love and became used to a dog around. Cinna is
definitely Kellys dog though. Two years after Cinna came into the
family Melissa Came home and told Kelly about a patients friend who
had Springer pups. Several hundred dollars and many headaches later
the marrige was official and Cinna became Cinna and clumsy Jake.
Melissa is very attached to this clumsy dog regardless of all the drool.
Kelly, Melissa, Cinna, and Jake are happy living in Springville.
Kelly and Melissa have been trying since marriage to add human beings
to their family but have been unsuccessful so far. Hopefully soon but
for now it Kelly and Melissa, the two human beings and Cinna and Jake
the two human dogs
