Weekend update

Well...we didn't get an enormous amount of work done this weekend.  We did however get an enormous amount of stuff for the house this weekend.  We had our last shower.  And for those that gave us gift cards...well they are gone (pretty much). 

The plan for this week is to paint..paint...and paint some more.  We are getting toward the final lap.  It won't all be done by the wedding but it will be livable by then.  We are getting really excited about moving and the wedding. 

*** hopefully I will have pictures of almost if not all of the painting done by this time next week!!****

STAY TUNED!

Updates!

Okay...

Now that I am not in-front of a computer all day everyday, I am finding it very hard to update this blog.  Plus I just have to plan a wedding, look for a job, find insurance, and GET THIS HOUSE DONE!  AHHH...(sorry I have just been very overwhelmed :\)

Okay so to the house.....

Thanks Cloie for the help painting, not sure I would of finished the bedrooms without your help. 

So the Carpet FINALLY came today.  They were done in about 2.5 hours.  AMAZING....it is now starting to look like a home again.  I finally got the cabinets lined and stuff put away from the first bridal shower, just in time for the next one this weekend.  Thanks to all of my amazing friends and family, J and I are truly blessed. 

Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasures...

I know borderline obsession/hording

LOVELY

YES I am marrying a 2 year old...he was so excited...carpet angels!!

Oh so much and not enough cabinets!

Get This....

Of course....the carpet guy and Lowe's had their schedule crossed.  The carpet has been delayed a week.  Hopefully Monday we will have carpet. 

However, I  must tell you of the mishap we had the night before what we believed to be carpet install.  We decided to check a spot in the floor that we had been assured it was repaired.  WELLL...we all know that was not the case.  There was major damage!  Thanks to my dad and J working very hard it was repaired properly and safe now. 

I will post pictures of that mishap as soon as I am able to upload them. 

I was able to use the dishwasher this week, thanks for all the fiesta I had a full load to try it out on.

SLOW...

Well painting is getting very old and going very slow.  BUT we have a reason to pick up the pace.  WE ARE GETTING CARPET NEXT WEEK!!!!

I promise to have pictures as soon as all of the painting is done!

Keep checking!!!

what a crazy week....

Well I have a very quick update.... 

As most of you reading know j and I received very devastating news Monday.  We all know the economy has not rebounded and well I unfortunately work in a line of business where a layoff can happen at any moment.  It happened....I am currently out of work.  Which means for this blog the renovations may be happening at a slower rate, which will be fine. 

On a lighter note positive things are happening in my life...it appears as quick as one door closed others maybe be opening just as fast.  We will see....it is all in God's hands and I am at peace with that. 

However, I have been able to use this time off to my advantage.  hall bath is almost done...painting is almost done...I will post pictures as soon as I can get around to uploading them. 

until next time....
