Hello everybody!<\/p>\n
Look! I’m actually alive!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’m sorry I vanished from the face of the planet (or at least via my website or answering or returning any phone calls!) for the past month. I THOUGHT things would settle down after my crazy contest weekend, but, alas, I was wrong.\u00a0 SO.\u00a0 VERY.\u00a0 WRONG.<\/p>\n
We’ve been working our tails off getting the house fixed up to list. It was my Spring Break week last week, but I had to teach on Monday still to make up for the previous Monday that I had to take off because of grading for contest… then Tuesday through today still we’ve been working from dawn to dusk on projects.\u00a0 Dad was here on Saturday to help with the carpet and stairs (which, of course, turned into a much larger project than we had anticipated) but now it looks awesome!\u00a0 Patsy and Jen also came on Saturday to help paint and pull staples from the flooring and steps as well as countless other random projects.\u00a0 Then Bakers and Jen and Patsy were all back again on Sunday to help with more endless projects… (THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!! ;))<\/p>\n
I will say, however, that by the time Sunday (Easter) rolled around I was so emotionally and physically spent that I started crying 3 times during worship team rehearsal before church.\u00a0 I was so tired and sore and stressed about the house being a mess and all the projects we had left to do–it wasn’t a pretty sight.\u00a0 Luckily I was able to keep myself in check each time and wasn’t a blubbering fool on stage!<\/p>\n
Anyway, you get the idea.\u00a0 We’ve done a lot of projects.\u00a0 And we’re tired.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I’ll stop being dramatic about it all.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping to have some pictures to actually start showing you.\u00a0 We have just a small handful of random odds and ends to finish up.\u00a0 We were hoping<\/span> to have those completed by today, but the bathroom upstairs has proven to be a MASSIVE headache of unexpected problems.\u00a0 But, no worries, since Tim finally got that all straightened out tonight.\u00a0 But it did end up taking us an entire day and a half longer than we had expected… so we’ll get back to the random odds and ends tomorrow.<\/p>\n And with all that said, we’re hoping to list next weekish.\u00a0 We’re just waiting for the stucco guy to come and repair the outside and he can’t do that until it warms up to above freezing overnight on a regular basis, which it isn’t yet (whine, whine).\u00a0 But soon!\u00a0 Soon!<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello everybody!
