I am trying to enjoy the process of this home improvement project, but with everything covered in plastic, I have to really focus on how fast time goes and that this part will be over soon. Here’s what it looked like before the drywallers arrived:
Ugly ceiling before….
and this is what they looked like after lunch….now they are all taped and waiting to dry and be sanded. A couple of things that are becoming apparent in the process-
- our carpet is getting trashed. It needs to be replaced desperately, but we were hoping to pace ourselves and not have to do it immediately.
- the verdict is out on whether our wood floors will ever look the same.
- we will HAVE to paint every room after this.
- the cleanup is going to be intense.
- I will be having a little semi-private tag sale when the workers are done. Even though I’m not sure anyone will come!
- I am happy that we proceeded with this project despite the inconvenience and mess.
Today, I’m home working in the midst of the plastic. Tomorrow I will be homeless again! I think I’ll be at the paint store for a while : )
I read this this morning….
“We are continually retreating behind our limitations and saying, “Thus far and no farther can I go”. God is ever laying His hand upon us and thrusting us out into the open, saying, “You can be more than you are; you must be more than you are.”
Amen and amen.
I didn’t intentionally share this verse because I’m posting my friend Becca’s sweet baby boy, but she is a perfect example of a person who has NOT allowed limitations to stop her from anything! She rises above any fears over limitations, over and over. I love this girl and her beautiful family….so much-
The adorable baby is laying on a beautiful quilt that Kelly made. Kelly makes the most amazing quilts! Her sewing skills are blowing me away!
Scrumptious, yes him is.
I want his shirt! Becca is a good shopper : )
His sweetness and innocence almost make me cry.
LOVE this one!
But this one is my fave! His windblown hair had me at hello.
Happy birthday to my awesomesauce (thanks Becca) cousin Er!!!! I hope you have a memorable, lovely day!
God bless each one of you!
