Good news!


Strike up the band! Roll out the red carpet!! Reinforcements are on the way!! My mom, sister and niece are flying in this afternoon to help me sort through all these boxes and wade through the sea of unplaced furniture to make this house into a HOME. I can’t wait for not only the help, but the ‘girl time’ as we never fail to have a great time together, even when doing some of the most unenviable tasks ๐Ÿ˜‰
I have been painting like a mad man trying to get the bulk of the grunt work out of the way so as to free up our precious time for fun things like: shopping, decorating and gardening. Chris has a 4-day weekend so between all of us we’re hoping to overpower the little ‘uns (even if we can’t outnumber them) and get some stuff DONE!
I hope to have lots of ‘after’ pics by the time this long weekend is over… check back soon ๐Ÿ™‚
