We are back "online"!!!

What a whirlwind the past two weeks have been! We just got our internet back up and running today since Hurricane Ike blew through town. I've got TONS to update on and will be making posts all week. We finished the bathroom remodel, weathered IKE, and had another Dr. appointment. Check back later, I've got pictures to post and lots of info to fill you in on. It feels SO good to be back online!

"Labor" Day Weekend

So apparently my mom and I misunderstood the point of Labor Day Weekend. Instead of resting from all the work we usually do.....we created more work for ourselves by starting quite a project. We spent ALL of Saturday and ALL of Sunday removing not one but two layers of wallpaper from our master bathroom walls. Why did John and I decide to do a bathroom remodel the first weekend after school started instead of during the summer......who knows. I think we both realized if we didn't get it started now, it wasn't ever going to get started. So here are pictures before we started steaming, ripping, tearing, sanding, and spackling......

And here's how our bathroom looks now.......quite the danger zone!

Here's a picture of Oakley checking out a sample tile we bought. He's standing on the carpet (eeww!) that will hopefully be gone soon and replaced by gorgeous tile. We're also replacing the vinyl flooring in the guest bathroom and laundry room with the same tile.

Hopefully this new "look" is temporary. I hope to have paint on the walls this weekend and tile on the floors soon after that! Too bad I'm EXHAUSTED now and have to teach all week!
