Quote of the Day

"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more."

We're Out of Here!

We are getting packed for a much needed break from our home construction this weekend! We are heading up north to the cottage to spend the weekend with my parents and sister. It's going to be a nice break from the non-stop sound of drills, saws and nail guns! Also this weekend, we are going to be a part of my Aunt and Uncles 50th Wedding anniversary party! So it will be great to see all of our family together again! Have a great Weekend!

Home Construction Update

Our house is getting there slowly but surely. It seems when everything gets going, there is always something right around the corner waiting there to slow us down. The latest being our hardwood floors! When we ordered our flooring we were assured it would be here today or tomorrow...allowing us time to get it installed before our kitchen cabinets are delivered on Friday. I recieved a phone call today saying that the flooring will not be delivered until Friday at the earliest!! So we are going to have to rethink our schedule to accommodate the latest turn of events. We have a drywall finisher starting Tuesday and he should be done by Wednesday or Thursday with the drywall ...and then we are ready to paint. Whitney and I were out all day looking for colors and we think we have them picked out! We are doing away with our Sage green walls and doing something completely different so we are excited to see what it will look like. The floors and cabinets will be installed sometime next week and after the cabinets are in the Corian countertops get measured templated .... 2 weeks later they are installed. I have to remind myself that we do have lots to be thankful for ...we have had a lot of people here to help out, send over meals, and many other generous acts. We are hoping the kitchen will be completely finished by the second week in September! It will be so great to finally post the finished product!
