Good evening, everyone!!!
Last week was a much-needed time away to say the least. We spent a wonderful five days with my sister and brother-in-law in Parke County, Indiana for the Covered Bridge Festival. It was a very enjoyable week.
We did a ton of Christmas shopping at the different booths, flea markets, and rummage sales. Something we four enjoy a great deal even when we don't have an excuse such as a festival, :)
Now that we're home and a new week has begun, we have started some more home improvements. As I type this the new floor in my living room is being put down :) Hoping to get the new furniture here next week :) This will be the very first time in our whole married life we've actually purchased new furniture. I'm pretty stoked about it :) The roofers will be here any day to put on the metal roof. Then once these are done, the new living room window and then I can start on the kitchen.
Lots of tasks yet to be done, but we are making progress for sure. I'm really liking the changes we've made so far. My new bathroom is really one of my favorite rooms so far :) I love the colors, the flooring, and I even got a great deal on a new shower curtain last week that just accents the room beautifully :)
I'm the type of person who can see the end result before the project has even begun and sometimes that makes it hard to push through the process. Because as we all know everything has a process to get through to get to the end result. I have been working on patience for many years now, and I will probably be working on it for many years to come because of this issue.
Like right now, I'm just ready for all the home projects to be finished and have my house in some sort of 'normal' order, LOL. But I MUST trust the process and know in the end it will be amazing.
Until then, well, I will be patient. I will do what I can around here to keep things livable. I will maintain my sanity by whatever means possible. I will live with things the way they are and be happy for it. Because anything thing else would just be crazy...
Everyone have a lovely night!!!
Blessings to all!!!
