Hard Work Will Pay Off!

Well I finally have a moment to sit down and rest. Zach and I have been extremely busy with our new house. It really will make us proud once we are in and we will definitely have pride of ownership! Thanks to the help of our family and friends we have knocked out the wall of mirrors that covered a full wall in the living room, put up new baseboards throughout the house, chair rails in the bedrooms, spackled a gazillion holes and sanded them down, ripped out old carpet and the painter is there painting as I type this. Then we're re-tiling the hall bath floor and shower and putting in new marble countertops in the kitchen!!! Whheewww, it exhaustes me just thinking about it. The kids have been awesome through this whole thing...its hard not having a schedule, pulling late nights and not having toys everywhere at the house! Paint will be done this week, new carpet laid Friday and we move in this coming weekend!!! I am planning on making a "before and after album" of all the changes we've made. The house is in such a cute court where all the house are well taken care of and lawns are nicely manicured (which if you know me and Zach thats a big thing!) We have met almost all the neighbors and they seem very nice and welcoming. Cant wait til we are all moved in and settled!!!
