fix up my new house (read all 5 entries…)
Taking longer than I thought 19 months ago

Because I started a new job a few months back. I can’t believe we’ve lived here 6 months already. I honestly thought my previous post couldn’t possible be right until I looked at the date that it was posted. I’ve managed to do a few more things since my last post. I haven’t finished the bathroom yet, but I’ve got a lot done in there. We completely redid the walls, and painted them. We installed the new tub and surround base. I’ve started tiling the surround, as well. I still need to redo the floor so I can get the new sink, but so far, it looks amazing. I can’t wait until it’s all done.
I am almost done with the kitchen. We started redoing the floor, and have most of it done. I even started redoing the floor in the laundry room. I can’t wait until it’s finished. So far it looks so good. It was a spur of the moment decision to do it, and I’m so glad I did it.
We still have a ton of stuff to do, and I’m having trouble finding the time to do it, but I know it will get done eventually. I am enjoying all the work we’ve done so far, and just keep plugging away at it.



pay off all my debts (read all 3 entries…)
Several more paid off. 19 months ago

We paid off the advertisement bill, Nikki’s hospital bill and a few others. There aren’t many left. I’m actually pretty excited about getting so close to completing this goal. It will be a big weight off our shoulders.



meet my nephew for the first time (read all 3 entries…)
I finally got to meet him. 19 months ago

Rob came home for a visit and suprised us by bringing his son. We were shocked, because we didn’t know Bruce was coming until he walked in the door. Rob didn’t even hint that he was bringing him. The girls had a really great time with their cousin. It was a wonderful visit!!
We are planning on going down later this year to see them again. I’m so glad I can cross this one off my list, because it was a good goal!!
