Lots to catch up on!!

So, we started this blog- and have been very unbloglike! Sorry, we promise to do better moving forward and will try to keep this up to date- so we don't find ourselves on a Sunday afternoon trying to recall all that has happened in the last 2+ months-

First- we did our very first home improvement job all by ourseleves (my parents helped with the initial moving in stuff- hanging ceiling fans and lights, and the tv and the closet organizer- wow!!) Anyhow- we decided we needed to paint the back of our built in bookshelves- and we were also supposed to build a library imn one of our closets (the closets are huge- as they are really an elevator shaft- just in case we had wanted an elevator) After 3+ hours sepent in Home Depot (as much as we would like to shop at Lowes- the Depot is actaully much cheaper and has had eveything we needed - so- while we are now in the south, surrounded by NASCAR and would rather not support Tony Stewart- the Depot still wins out- plus their military support wins out over NASCAR anyhow!!) and then a another trip to the Depot, Michaels and Walmart - the painting turned out great (In the words of a true geniius "No, she's a full-on Monet. It's like a painting, see? From far away, it's OK, but up close, it's a big old mess") Only kidding- they are great!! But we did learn that I am not too great at keeping the paint even!

Oh, and we will let you know when we finish the library!!
