Painting...












I
have finally finished painting the kitchen, dining room, and living room! I have thought about painting my house for four years now and I finally have it done! What a big relief. I was really tired of the white walls. It took me almost three weeks to complete because I couldn't decide on colors. I tried many different samples but finally did the kitchen in a sage green, and the dining room/living room in a wheat color and red barn. I think it looks pretty good. I still need to touch up some areas but I am done. I did the entire rooms by myself including moving the furniture!! Mark said he would not help and he didn't. Men! I even made neew curtains that match all the colors I have on the walls. Now I can start working on the nursery for Madison. I want to paint a Winnie the Pooh mural. I need to move some stuff out of Brian's room because that is where we are going to put Madison. Brian will eventually go downstairs to the master bedroom. Hopefully we will start working on the basement again this weekend!

Our 6th Anniversary!!


Today marks our 6th wedding anniversary!! I can't believe 6 wonderful years ago on a warm beautiful Sunday, we got married amongst my entire family and many friends. How time flies. It has been a wonderful six years. We didn't really do anything because Mark had to work and we had friends come up from Aurora. We took the kids swimming. Mark and I decided we would not get each other anything because Madison is our gift for many years to come. Works for me! I love him with all my heart and so thankful we are adopting a daughter! He told me I will probably get mad at him because she will have him wrapped around his finger and she will get everything she wants. He doesn't know how many clothes I have bought her already!
