Finally, the nursery is done. Only a few minor things left like hanging pictures, curtains and that is pretty much it. Josh and I seriously don't want to embark on anymore home projects anytime soon. Josh hopes to finish up with the dining room very soon and then a break is in store. We were talking last night and we both said we can't believe how far the house has come since we purchased it 5 years ago. The bathroom has been completely redone, our bedroom painted and crown molding, lots of out door projects (though you would never know now!) We joke that our yard looks like "Sanford and Son". Then all the projects that have been done this summer with the nursery and dining room. We are looking forward to being finished and not having to come home to painters plastic being on the floor. Mostly I think we look forward to having people over again. Josh and I love our friends and the relationships we have built over the years and we LONGGGG to have those long time friends and new friends over soon!!!
Then last, but not least I have to say a HUGE thank you to my husband most of all and then to all of the many helpers. Josh has seriously been working every weekend since March on some sort of house project. He has sacrificed Triathlon season and his usual daily work out regimen. I am sure there is more of this to come as we both enter parenthood, but I am super thankful for him. We can't even begin to repay or thank everyone that has been sooo helpful. Our parents who have spent countless hours working on various things (cleaning, building, painting, brainstorming, moral support etc), Kevin D - demolition, Damian and Jonathan - various projects, Gerry Slack - complete HVAC renovation, Amber Slack - amazing paintings in the nursery, Charley McElvy - painting trim, My brother - yard work and several others, if I forgot anyone I am sorry. We are just overwhelmed with everyone's help and generosity. We look forward to welcoming our little girl home.
