Painting

We have spent the last week painting in our house. Last weekend we got the whole house primed. We then worked on the living room, kitchen, and dining room throughout the week. We have the upstairs mostly finished except for the ceiling. The guy doing our drywall recommended a certain technique to do the ceilings, so we are going to try that sometime this week. The whole painting process has been frustrating and toilsome; I am VERY ready to be done with painting! I am still holding on to the goal of being in by Christmas. We are actually getting close. Once the painting is done we can do the flooring. Everything else can be done while we are in the house! Yea!

Today we celebrated Nate’s 26th birthday. 26? Wow! That’s so old! :) We spent the day with my family and tomorrow we will have a party with Nate’s family. We both decided that the best present this year will be moving in the house (plus all the big purchases we have to make yet…yikes).

We hope all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving and enjoy spending time with friends and family!

Looks like lots of hard work! Maybe you should slow down a little...if the house is giving you gray hair, that's not a good thing! (: And why is Samson so clean???? Can't wait to see it (and you in a few weeks). Kiera has her chain started!!!
