Kitchen Remodel Part I

Last Friday my dad, Josh, and Josh's dad started tearing out our kitchen. We had started a little bit before harvest and torn out a chimney and a few cupboards, but this began the real project. By Saturday night the kitchen was down to the studs. Electricians came on Monday and started rewiring the kitchen. Dad has been here every day working while Josh and I are at work. Maybe we will have cabinets on the wall by next weekend.

Stll hanging in there

Week 33 of my pregnancy and things are still going very well. The baby is growing and moving a lot. A friend pointed out to me today that when he is moving while I am trying to sleep, at least he is still inside and I can sleep. If he were born I would be up taking care of him. I had not looked at it like that before. Very good point.

Dad and Josh are starting the kitchen demo project on Friday afternoon. They are taking the whole thing down to the studs and then the electricians will come rewire the kitchen. Then the reconstruction will start. New drywall, used but different cabinets, new counter tops, and a new microwave/stove hood are just a few of the changes that are being made. I am very excited to get my refrigeration out of my dining room and to have the ice maker and water dispenser hooked up! My hope is that all of this will be put back together before the baby gets here.

Josh, my mom, and Josh's mom are also working on some painting projects. The dining room, hallway and bathroom are on the agenda. Hopefully it will all turn out good!

Well off to do some screen printing. I have a big order to get done by weekend.

Tag I'm it!

I was tagged by Brooke Lutz of Lutz Loop. Seven things about me and tag seven people.

1. I was born on Friday the 13th.

2. The twins were born on my birthday 23 years later on Friday the 13th.

3. This is my last pregnancy. (Unless something miraculous happens!) BUT, we are completely open to adoption in a few years if we feel that God wants us to.

4. Since high school graduation I have moved 15 times. 11 of those time have been since the twins were born. (My dad is a professional mover who hopes he is retired!)

5. I met Josh on an Internet dating site after he had already met my parents in person. (www.farmersonly.com)

6. I plan to start home schooling my boys in the fall.

7. I have played 5 different instruments in Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Pep Band during my high school and college music career.

I tag anyone who wants to do this because I really don't know who to tag!
