So this morning we were finally able to do our final walk through on the house. The builder told us that his goal was to have everything finished by Monday, July 17th. So hopefully, we will be in a new house by next week! He told us to go ahead and turn on the power and water, so that they can check all of the electrical to make sure everything is up to code. Pretty exciting!
While we were there, Eric was playing with our car keys. They have a remote on them to open the trunk, lock and unlock the doors. He was over by the car and kept on opening the trunk, and closing it. I got worried that he was going to slam his fingers in the trunk door when it was closing so I told him to stop. He slammed the trunk closed and asked, "What?" I asked him, "What are you doing?" He then smiled and said, "Trying to get the keys out of the car." Yes, that's right, he locked the keys in the trunk of the car. The car was locked as well. So with the help of some of the construction workers, Zac was able to use door shims to pry the door slowly open, and stick some rebar (is that how you spell it?) inside the car and push the trunk button. This took about 45 minutes. We really need to make a copy of the key.
So this weekend we were finally able to find an entertainment center that we agreed on. Zac and I have two completely different tastes in furniture. This store had real wood furniture for not a lot of money. We bought it unfinished, so we can pick what color of stain to put on it. We were also able to get some barstools for pretty cheap there.
Zac played in the federal golf tournament this past week. The U.S. Attorney's Office hosted it. Zac's foursome was with the Assistant U.S. Attorney, the SLC County Prosecutor, and a co-worker (He was suppose to have Judge Warner on his foursome, but he ended up having a hearing). They came in 2 under par, but the winners came in at 14 under. However, Zac was able to do a lot of networking. The SLC County Prosecutor really was trying to pursuade Zac to work with him during Zac's 3rd year of law school, and he could get hired right on after he passes the bar. They had a lot of fun, and a lot of good food. Zac's hoping he played well enough that he will get an invite next year. It was great for me though, because Zac was playing, they let him "work my shift". So I was able to stay at home without having to take any leave. Zac was getting ready for the tournament, and realized that his golf clubs were actually my Mom's. Zac kept on telling me that there was no way he was going on the course with "Ladies Clubs" in front of all these people. He ended up taking them. Zac took his last final for the summer classes this past Saturday. He got a 98 on his final. He has been doing really well in school.

Sounds like things are wrapping up for your house - I bet you are so excited! You would think furniture shopping would be fun - but it's not!
I agree. Zac and I have disagreed with each other a lot more over furniture than the actual house. It's amazing how different our tastes in furniture can be, and that after being married for 5 years, we are now just realizing this. When we got married, Zac already had the furniture so we didn't go through this.
Hey I have nothing to say about furniture but I do want to say thanks again for the movie tickets and dinner. Me and Barbara had a nice time tonight. Hope everything is well with you guys.
