I really only wanted to make a post to announce that I am blessed. That's all.
But that's not much of a post, is it?
Instead, how about I tell you about the changes around here?
We took out a wetbar in the living room.
We painted the 2 story foyer and one story entry way a darker beige instead of the light teal.
We painted the dining room a dark red instead of the dark teal it used to be.
*We got new floors in the foyer and dining room.
*We repaired the wall and the ceiling in the living room, where the recessed ceiling used to be over the wet bar.
*We put in crown molding in the one story entry way.
We painted the cabinets in the bathroom.
We painted the upstairs hallway a light beige.
*We removed the carpet in the living room and floated the floors to make them level.
* = and by "We," I mean we had it done. All the painting was us though!
What we have left to do:
Paint the new crown molding
Paint the living roomPut in the new floors in the living room
Put in the new floors in my parent's bedroom
Paint my parent's bedroom, if they choose
Paint the bathroom upstairs
REDECORATE!
Mom would like to get this lamp for the 2 story foyer (and the matching flush lamp for the entry way), as long as the decorator approves. Dad has already approved.

That's what been going on around here from Thursday to Monday. On Monday afternoons to Wednesday evenings, I'm in school. It's going to be a tough year, but I'm ready to finish up my Master's degree. 246 more days!
Floors on thin set :)
What a great picture!
Life awaits!
