Almost March...

Where does the time go??? Just last post it was New Year's Day! Sheesh....

So a quick run down - more photos and such later....

1. We got back from Georgia
2. On a total whim we decided to move into our new house BEFORE finishing the renovations. Condo life was NOT for us, we really wanted to be in our home - done or not.
3. Major demolition...family room.
4. Major demolition...kitchen.
5. More major demolition...see #'s 3 & 4.
6. Work, school, life, changing churches, random snow flurries, started diets, slowly sliding off the diet wagon...
7. Fun much needed trip to Denver to spend LOADS of money and regain some family unity and sanity.
8. Renovation Procrastination...quickly remedied by planned visit from Mother In Law.

So the status as of today:
  • We are probably a week away from finishing our family room (minus the new fireplace because...well...budget may not permit it...but the granite surround looks LUSCIOUS!).
  • Kitchen should be done in about 2-3 weeks. We have all the new cabinets and appliances. We should get the new gas line plumbed in and will tackle the new lighting ourselves.
  • Work - great!
  • School for kiddo's - great!
  • Spring Break Plans - I am going back to Georgia for the week to give my mom and Bob a little respite care! And if I'm lucky, I'll break away for some southern fried EVERYTHING. Actually, the highlight of my trip will be spending a Sunday at Trinity Fellowship Church and of course, mom's cooking.

I will update later - gotta run! T
