Pictureless Post

Today I decided to write a little note for my journal sans any pictures. Its about 3:45 and I'm just sitting here, contemplating what to do for dinner, and admiring my newly painted and carpeted 3rd floor! I cant wait to get up there and start organizing and decorating.. one of my favorite things to do! ... oh, and craft and paint too!

Mathew is on his way home from work. Sam is sleeping... a little later than i'd like, but the carpet people were here from 9am till almost 1:30 putting in the carpet.. Usually Samantha is napping by 12:30 ... so she got a little late start on her z's.

Tonight Grammy and Uncle are coming to pick up Samantha, while Momma and Daddy do some moving to the 3rd floor.

I think I can hopefully safely say that the big house repairs are coming to an end. I know a house is a work-in-progress ongoing project, but Mathew has been working like a DOG.. trying to get it in shape... which now that I sit back and look around, it looks pretty good! Im really glad I have a motivated and hard working husband. I cant imagine being married to anything but! A huge bonus about his "to do lists" and "cleaning" sprees (of course great results from our military life) .. is that when I cook/bake.... he cleans up all my messes.. ahhhh it is lovely.

So thats the end of my picture-less post.. Until next time !
