So this is my first story on my first blog. I'm writing mostly to keep my family and friends (you are out there aren't you?) informed on our newest adventure. We have now moved so many times that we've actually lost count. Seriously we are on our 7th house, (6th that we've lived in). I will be posting pictures and writing about our adventure. In all honesty my husband is doing most of the work and I'm picking out the colors.
For those of you who don't know we have bought a house in the country. Dan is at this very moment trying to make the walls square in order to place the electrical, in order to put in the drywall, in order to hang the kitchen cabinetry before next friday. Making the walls square is not really the big story. The big story is the 1100 square feet that Dan and I (and two of our girls) laid down over the period of 3 weeks. " 3 weeks, that's not too bad" you may be saying to yourselves. Most likely it's probably not bad, except for the fact that we scheduled 1 week to have the entire floor installed, sanded, stained, and polyurethaned. Being two weeks behind schedule is really, really bad. The really, really good thing is that we now know how to put down a hardwood floor. My husband now really thinks that shag carpet and paneling are actually really smart and efficient decorating solutions. Pleas enjoy the pictures and come back for the full story of how we ended up here.

Dee- you always make me laugh!!!! :) I love the name of your blog! Look at you go with the saw, and now you have your children doing hard labor too... :)
From what I can see, the house looks great; nice wide-open space!!! I cannot wait to see it, and if you do not call me to help you - at least to come down and "watch" the kids for you (even if it's just so you and Dan can go on a romantic date to Lowe's)- I will be very upset! :)I also like your list of activities you USED to enjoy... :)
Dee!
I have been thinking and thinking about y'all. I'm so glad you have joined me in the blogging world. We need to lay hardwoods too but first we need to level the floors. Right now we have a bathroom torn out and Paul is putting it back a piece at a time. We've been without the bathroom for going on three months so your three weeks of laying floor is super speedy in our book.
Is this your forever house?

Kate,
