Making the decision to move...

Well Ryan and I made a big decision recently. It's still in the works, but we are putting an offer in on land in Westminster. We will eventually build a home... but that is a ways down the road. So we have to sell our home. The bathrooms and the rest of the house is updated (by us) but the kitchen was left. So we decided to remodel- worked harder than either of us ever have, but we got it done in about 2 weeks and for just under $1000. Pretty sweet deal and about a bucket of sweat (hopefully equity!) Enjoy the pics:



This is after Ryan spent an ENTIRE day ripping out the tile floor. This was probably the hardest job he's had on this house... it beats ripping out bushes from the front yard- easily!



You can see why we had to make new cabinet doors... yikes!



This is our "dining room" with a fridge/oven.
We still are without a sink... gotta love kitchen remodels.



Me installing the bamboo floor


We painted the frames... but had to cover everything for overspray- pretty messy.
Soon to come... the results!

Staying Young

Happy Birthday Rob!
We all (family and friends) went to Old Chicago and celebrated. Had pizza, salad, appetizers, cake and drinks... we left VERY stuffed!


You know, it's just so fun to let go and have fun everyonce in a while. Normally you'd ask me to suck on a lemon and I would cringe because it rotts away your teeth... don't think I didn't use to do it all the time when I was a kid! BUT it's so fun to goof around with my neices and nephews and just have fun. Gotta love staying young. I can only hope Ryan and I will always do this when we have kids, we sure do it a lot with Angie's kids!
