It keeps on coming....

Things keep moving for us. 

The home renovation is coming along.  For now my wishlist is to get my last Cabinets/Counter top moved.  The Breakfast nook area still needs the walls to be sanded, mudded again, then painted and some base boards up, but other than that, the kitchen, den, dining, and living room are done!  WOOT!  The bathroom is also almost there.  Just need to put up the new mirror, refinish the tub-which for budget's sake may be a month or two-, and get the new shower curtain made and up!

We are hoping to start moving everything tomorrow, and be done getting everything at least in the house and the bedrooms set up on Tuesday!  Getting excited.  Which reminds me, I need to call and get the internet and TV moved over! YIKES!

Tomorrow I am scheduled to meet with an orthopedic surgeon.  My knee has been giving me fits again, and guess what:   Yep, I will need another sergury!  I have at least 2 Foreign Bodies floating around in there, and my ACL is non-existent.  At least going from my X-Rays ;)  But we knew all that about my ACL anyway.  The Ortho will probably do an MRI, then he will get to know the extent of my knee damage- no ACL, Meniscus, etc.  It is going to be fun for him.  I am hoping that it doens't keep me down for too long.....

Time for Change

Well as most of you already know, Emily (I) lost my job on January 16th.  It came as a shock.  Things are changing.

Really we feel like it is a good thing, and will be better for our little family in the long run.  It gives me time to really be a Mommy, as well as focus on the House Renovation we have going on.

To cope with the changes, I started another blog about my journey to adapt to being a Stay-At-Home-Mommy.

Until next time,

Update

The Home Renovation is going well.  I have gotten most of the painting done- Den, Living, Dining rooms done and the first coat in the kitchen.  I still have to paint the Bathroom upstairs, and a few other places, but those are coming along.

The flooring is all done.  We put in new carpet a while back, and just refinished all the hardwood flooring and even redid the kitchen floors with beautiful new hardwood as well!  I am supposed to meet the contractor out there today to do a final walk through, but they look amazing!

I redid the cabinet doors and painted all the drawers in the kitchen, and am loving the results so far.

There is just SO much I want to do.....
