Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon. We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots. It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio. We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces. More photos of the family. The family, strolling along th...
We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage.
Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look.
Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too.
Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great.
It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow.
We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new pool! The not yet landscaped natural backyard for seven years was worth it, to be able to have our pool built this spring and have it all paid for, and not go into debt. This is the largest purchase we've ever made besides our three homes we've bought (and sold two). Hooray! I'm sure we'll be having plenty of parties here and a lot of fun as a family.

You are so fun. I am sure that you will have so much fun with the new perfect pool right out your backdoor.
I know that you will have some killer parties with that around.
I'm excited to report that Randy has been out today and has unclogged the water sheer above the beach area and it flows beautifully. The fountain in the spa is still weak and is clogged with splaster a bit, but the jets work fine. My fingers are still crossed, but I'm glad they're addressing the issues.
Hey, that looks amazing! Oh, my gosh. It has been so awesome to see from the drawings to the real thing. Chris and I love every bit of it and think a pool like that would look perfect in our back part of our property. Hey, we will trade you some grass for a pool. K. Love it! Congrats and enjoy!
Love the color of the Pebble Sheen, and again compliment all your selections. The design of the waterfalls is so great too, just overall amazing! Don't know how I'll lure you to come visit me ???
P.S. When is card camp again?!
