We have found a fantastic contractor who will be doing renovations on the house, starting this week, and we will probably be working with him until we die. This week we are wiring and installing ceiling fans in the boys' rooms, replacing our fan, and replacing a light in the master closet. Oh...and the boys rooms are being repainted. In a couple of weeks to a month we hope to begin a complete overhaul of the kitchen. All of it. Bigger pantry, updated, pretty cabinets, room for a big fridge...from there we will redo the flooring, then a complete demolition of our master bath. It is stressful, but exciting to finally be in a place where we see ourselves for a long time.
Tomorrow starts Norman's third week at work, and he's getting settled in. I'm not unpacking much until we get the top floor repainted (it's easier to move boxes around than to have to unpack and then move out clothes and stuff for the painters).
And we aren't unpacking kitchen stuff because if we start the demo in a couple of weeks, I don't want to pack up and move what I've unpacked. So it's paper plates for just a little while longer until we figure everything out. It'll be worth it.
I have to fly back to Texas soon to do the walk through of our apartment and close out of that with them. I will be so happy to have that behind us! It is all coming together though...We are constantly amazed at God's protection and guidance over all of this. He has already protected us from some things and made it clear He is with us through this entire process. He continually answers our prayers, and we are so thankful and feel so blessed. Our neighbors have brought brownies over, and getting plugged back into a community that has so many active duty and retired military feels so much more like home.
Alright, time for bed. I will be sure and take lots of before and after photos to post! I can't wait to see the transformation!
Night peeps!
