July 6th, 2008

We had a great 4th of July and hope all of you did as well. Chase really enjoyed sparklers and loved to watch the fireworks from a distance. We went to the Dewitt parade and he came home with way too much candy.....especially since he is such a sweet tooth!

As for the house, we put the last coat of "chocolate" colored paint on the living room Friday night. Yes, I said chocolate.....at first I was very concerned it was too dark, but it actually looks awesome against the white ceilings and eventually white trim. Craig has tiled the guest bathroom, and we hope to get carpet laid soon. My cabinets are not in yet, but as soon as they are we will be putting them up. We are so close and I am so ready to be done with the process. I get a daily reminder from Craig to be patient, as I want to try to get everything done in one day. He is much more realistic on the situation and knows that I need to chill out and he is not afraid to tell me so. Guess that is why he is the contractor and I am the teacher!
