slowly but surely

Well, things are finally starting to come together!  I won’t lie, I’ve been stressing these last few weeks.  We still have yet to pack and move, but we are hoping to get everything moved by this week . . . eek!  I’m so sorry I’ve been lacking in the blog postings something terrible.  There has just been so much going on, I had to set priorities with myself.  I can’t wait to get settled and have time to relax and blog this summer.  I’m not going to be taking any summer school, so that will be nice. 

I finished my finals and now am concentrating on getting things packed and ready for moving.  It’s hard trying to move when you have to do it after a full day of work, but it’s getting there!

We still have to finish painting the master bath, laundry room, powder room and guest room, along with touch up, but those will have to wait till after we move in.  We’ve got the majority of it done and I had the professionals tackle the high staircase and hallway, thank goodness!  They were life savers.  We also started (with the help of my dad) on the crown molding and hope to have that done by tomorrow?  We also picked up our laminate flooring and want to start that in a couple weeks.  So much to do!  Man, and I thought this place was move in ready!

 

Here is the master looking into the bath.  The colors seem much brighter on the camera in the light, but are a bit darker and richer.  Still have to paint the bath the same color as the staircase/hallway.

Here’s some of the beginnings of crown molding.  Sorry for the poor quality, it’s from my phone :(  It sure is amazing what crown molding can do to a room!

 

Here’s Chris with the flooring, I think it will look nice!

I’ll be posting more (and better) pictures when we get closer! 

I now have a © logo thanks to the talented designers at Canyon Creative!!!  Hopefully, we can get this incorporated to the new site and get it up and running this summer.  What do you think? 

I’ve been cooking (uh em . . throwing together) a lot of quick and easy things these days, like tacos, annie’s mac and cheese, frittatas, anything I can find in the back cupboard, etc.  And we’ve even sneaked in a few eating out occasions with coupons if we can help it.  I have to get a ton of gifts for everyone that have helped us and continue to help us through this process.  It’s amazing how a few extra hands can make all the difference.  We are so thankful. 

Well, I better get to packing and hopefully when you hear from me again we’ll be moved!  I’ll also be posting the 5 winners to the giveaway.  Yay!  Hope all is well in your world :)
