It's hard to believe it is 25 days into the 2010, and I have not yet posted any updates for this year. There is a reason for that. Adam and I have been taking a little bit of a hiatus from working on the house. Once we started living in the house, we decided it was time to take a little break. After all, we have been working on it for over a year and a half. It has been so nice to spend good quality time together that didn't involve having a nailer and 2x4's near by. We have done some small projects,but nothing big. We stained our countertops, put shelves in the cabinets, and organized the kitchen.
Instead of buying each other Christmas presents this past year, we decided to buy some things for the house together. We bought new pots and pans, a new flat screen tv, new water glasses, and my favorite--a banana holder. It has been so nice having a working kitchen. For months and months, we lived on frozen microwave meals, peanut butter and jellys, and eating out A LOT. Now that we have a working kitchen, we don't even mind doing dishes.
Now that we have taken over a month off, we are going to start working again. Next on the agenda: Put the tub in the bathroom, finish the tile around the tub, bathroom sink and vanity, finish the closet (so we can hang our clothes up), and curtain rod and curtains in the bedroom. We have our curtains bought, but they are sitting in a JC Penny bag on the floor. We hope to have the majority of our house done by June. A lot of family will be visiting from out of town for my sister's wedding, and I hope to be able to have some of them stay in the "DeVries Dome."
Hope everyone is having a great new year!
