MIA

Wow, it's been a while since the last post. We have been busy spending our tax return money on improving the house. First we had central air installed (something I have been wanting since we got married). I cannot wait for summer and Blake is excited not to have to get up on the roof to get the swamp cooler ready for summer. Next, we are updating our family room with new paint, new carpet, crown molding and such. Right now I have been painting like mad so it has time to dry before the carpet is installed. Next we are going to put laminate on the stairs and the hallway upstairs. After that we are ripping apart our master bath and putting in new everything (tile, toilet, vanity, fixtures). Following that, we will finally replace the toilet in the kids bathroom that oddly enough was the first thing that we needed to do on our list. Funny how that goes. Blake always gets a worried look in his eyes when I start looking around the house for something to update. Our house was built in the late 80's and I think that was the last time anything was updated, save the kitchen floor, which was tiled shortly before we bought it. Therefore, everything literally needs to be updated. It's fun to get started finally. It makes me feel good to put our touches into the house. For a long time, it felt like we had all our stuff set up in someone's house; just pretending we lived there. Anyhoo, before and after pictures of our projects will be posted as they are completed.
