I've actually taken plenty of pictures of the pool and the progress that is being made, but I don't feel like posting much, so here's a good look at the steps that got done last week. A clean up crew filled up truckloads of construction debris and was hauled off today. The fence that was taken out got put back, and some fill dirt was spread over all the pipes and the yard. On Monday, the crew for the Sun Deck surface will get started on that, and then we'll be ready for plaster and filling the pool with water. Cross your fingers that this process will be done by next week--mine are already crossed.
Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares

Maybe if we had a serious rain storm you wouldn't even have to wait for them to fill it up. I am excited to see it all done. I know that it is going to look great.
It looks fab, and I love the stone and tiles that you selected - I never have doubted your taste!
