Weekend Warriors

Another weekend closes in which means one of two things. We relax and enjoy the last few rays of sun before fall/winter take over or we work like dogs trying to get more things done before our contractor comes back on Monday. Tonight, Reba has a class, Jacob and Jonah are going camping for the weekend with Pappa Doug, Stacy, Tom, Isabelle, Nolan and Sophia, which leaves myself and Sue to start painting were needed. Tomorrow, Reba and her mom are tiling the kitchen and around the fireplace so that it will be ready for the workers to trim in on Monday. We have closet doors to paint and put up, and a lot of painting of the base boards. All this means is that we are getting closer to the end goal. Tomorrow, Noah is getting to go play with my cousin, Marcy and her two daughters, which Noah will love. That means we have a good amount of uninterrupted time to work and get things done. Or, just catch up on sleep. The week has been one of the most stressful of our lives, but the good news is that we are coming out on the end of the week still alive. One thing we always have to remind ourselves is that one stressful day does eventually end. The hope is that the next day improves.

Our good friend Sheri came over today to deliver a dog crate for us, because we are getting the dog on Sunday, and we were able to walk her around the house. When you get to show someone around, you do start to realize how much work you have really done. In this case, the work has turned out great. It was a good feeling to show her what we had done and what he have left to do. More pictures will be coming as things are completed. For now, I am off to have a 5 minute power nap before we are off and running.

As you prabably know, the picture up top is the view from our top floor balcony of our Master bedroom. I know, it is beautiful, but only the best for us. Actually it is a picture off the hard drive of the cumputer. Boy are we delusional. Have a great weekend.
