Wow! What a Weekend!

Whew! It's Tuesday and I'm just getting a post up about our weekend! That's how busy it was!

Dave and I have been on vacation since Wednesday but it sure didn't feel like a vacation. After we took a trip to KC, we got home and got back to work. While Dave ran around town on Thursday picking up our hardwood flooring, my mom and I hit the stores. I FINALLY decided on tile for the master bath (this was not an easy decision - trust me), we picked out paint colors for two rooms, we looked for sinks, and took a peek at lighting and cabinet hardware. In between all of this we helped Dave unload all of the flooring. Those boxes are not light!

On Friday, we picked up the rest of the tile and spent way more than I would have ever thought was possible on door knobs. We also spent more time staring at paint samples, and just generally going crazy!

Saturday brought my dad to help. We poured cement for the front steps, got door locks installed, went to a composting class and then the Shrine Game (my cousin Chris was on the South team - what an accomplishment!).

Sunday saw more cement for the back steps.

Our neighbors are probably wondering why we have bodies in the back yard but I swear it's just covered cement!

We also finished the front steps and decking. Ok, well, we didn't as I snuck away for a baby shower, but the steps are finished. Helping out in my place was Trent - I'm sure he did more than I could!

Dave and I spent Monday running errands. We measured rooms for paint, cleaned up drywall remnants, bought paint, bought newels for the staircase, possibly chose a countertop for the bathroom, decided on and purchased all of the trim and interior doors, and squeezed in a softball game and a movie. (We rented "Burn After Reading" - strange movie).

We are certainly getting closer! There's still a lot to do, but moving in is starting to look like a real possibility!

Even though Dave and I accomplished a ton with regards to the house, the best part of Friday and Saturday was the news from Kearney and Italy. Two of my best friends from high school had their babies! Kinleigh came first on Friday and William followed on Saturday! Check out the links on the side for their blogs. Congratulations to all of the new parents!
