HappyBirthday MOM!!

Josh and I celebrated my mom's birthday. We had a great meal and fellowship. This weekend we relaxed and did nothing. I have fighting being sick all week. I enjoyed the rest and Josh picked out great movies. Wednesday we will be leaving for New York...I am so excited. We will be posting lots of pictures next week.

Birthday Girl!!

The girls like to pick mom's mums and give to everyone. They are growing up so fast.

Relaxation...well kind of

This weekend Josh and I tried to relax but ended up working a little on the house. He patched the walls and I cleaned. On Friday, we went to the fair and enjoyed good food. The rest of the weekend we did projects around the house. I think we both enjoyed being home. Our living room with new pillows and tables. As you can see the lower part of the room is painted. We are trying to find another color to paint the entire room. Neither of us liked the color up there now once it was painted. You live and learn!! As you can see we have a lot to paint in the living room.

Josh's assistant

This is where Josh removed our doorbell. He put it on the other side of the wall. He is patching the wall in the living room. I was a little scared!! It turned out very nice.

After moving in we found that our attic did not have a light in it. So...Josh installed one yesterday. He was very proud of his work.

Painting

This weekend we painted our kitchen. You can also see the partly finished kitchen table. We are missing 4 chairs. I finished those the other night. I love the kitchen. It looks a lot darker in person...so you should come see it. Melanie, Charity, and myself had a really good time Thursday night and part of Friday painting. We enjoyed singing old church songs and talking while we painted. Josh was busy moving the door bell and and laughing at us. Josh started painting the living room but we soon found out that we did not like the color we picked out. So we found another color and will start painting that next weekend. I am not looking forward to tackling that room!!!!!! Melanie and Charity have promised their services to help bring color to our house. Friday night Josh wasn't feeling well so we hung around the house and enjoyed a few movies. It was nice to veg. Saturday I cleaned and he painted. Of course Sunday was very busy with church.

This is what Macy did all night long. She is a good supervisor!!

Charity standing back looking at all the streaks she left on the wall. We had a problem with the first coat but it got fixed!!

Melanie our professional painter did all our trim work. Thank God for her!!! She worked really hard and did a great job.

Our old/new kitchen table

Josh sanding our kitchen table that I painted. Josh is quit the handy man!! We had to sand it again before putting another coat on it. It is going to look very nice with my pumpkin orange walls in the kitchen.

Trip to High Point

Grandma Smith and Bill hanging out with us on Saturday. We enjoyed talking with them!!

Grandma and Grandpa King

Josh and I went to High Point Friday night to visit with my family and we had a wedding consultation. We enjoyed going out to eat Friday night and hanging out around the house and catching up on all the lastest news with the family. Did I mention grandma sent food home with us...mmmmm good. The good thing is we get to see you guys again in two weeks. YEAH!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!
