Our House!!!

Last month we bought a house!!!! But our house needed lots of work. In just 3 weeks the living room went from this... 
to this... 
to this...
 and finally to this!!!!!
We did  lots of work all over the house. There was yucky wood paneling all over, and ugly brown trim on the windows and closets. Over the last few weeks I have painted until I could no longer grip a brush, sanded drywall till my arms ached, swept and cleaned nooks and crannies till my knees bled. But that is nothing, my sweet hubby did ten times the work I did. He would get up early everyday to work on the house before classes, and he would stop late at night when he got off work to finish things up. He is the hardest worker I know, and I am so lucky to have him. And a big thanks to the friends that helped us with the big projects and helped us move, we couldn't have done it alone. 

We love our new house, although I think I will like it even more when we actually finish the bathroom, and when I finish unpacking everything. 

In other big news, Carson attended his last undergrad class today!! Now he just has to survive finals and then it's on to graduation next week!!!
