Living the Crazy Life...

Here are a few snapshots from the past week or two, part of the reason my blog has been lacking in posts:

• All of last week (Monday -Friday nights from 5-9 or later) was spent at a friend's house where Ryan re-tiled the floor while they were out of town. I was there as a second pair of eyes, moral support, tool-hander, sponge rinser, dinner-maker and also to do some painting. :) Before & After pictures are shown below. Go Ryan King of the Tile!!
• High School Fellowship has started for our church... Friday nights are spent hanging out with high school kids over dinner, and then bible study and then an activity. Last week we watched The Emperor's Club projected on to and old quilt on the side of the garage (it is worth seeing) and next week is Contra Dancing. :)
• Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!! Our tile, hardwood, siding, shutters, cabinets & countertops have been ordered!!
• Dealing with Insulation Inspections, leaks, drywall & rain. Thankfully the inspection passed (3rd time's the charm with this particular inspector), the leak was fixed (no cap on the top of the fireplace), it rained Saturday -Tuesday which prevented the drywall delivery, however it let up Tuesday afternoon so drywall started yesterday!!
• Wednesday Night Tradition - On Wednesday's (to replace our Lost tradition during the school year) we have been having our friend Melanie over for dinner and hanging out. Last night after pasta salad and sloppy joes we hit the grove arcade (a beautiful building downtown with lots of cool shops). We window shopped since most of the stores were closed and our evening was made perfect when the frozen custard shop let us in after it has already closed for some vanilla with hot fudge custard. :) We also wanted through a very Ashevilley bookstore and listed to an impromptu poetry reading.
• Work - and to top if all work has gone CRAZY. I have been working 9+ hour days all week to make one home buyer happy. I hope they end up happy because they will be our new neighbors. :-P
• And from tonight through July 4th, every minute or every day (not spent at work or at church) will be spent putting down tile & hardwood in our house. :)
