I've been slow posting this month, for no real particular reason. I've been spending lots of time reading, being busy at work, and just relaxing in general. This weekend went fast though, so here's some pics of what we've been keeping ourselves occupied with...
We're still in limbo with our master bathroom, and this Saturday Bryan and I drove up to one of the guys' apartments to get some of the supplies they had to finish up ourselves. The picture shows Bryan in the bathroom, installing our lights - i don't know how he knows how to do it, but it pretty much impresses the socks off me. We now have 5 beautiful recessed lights in our previously dark bathroom, and even though it can be a tinsy bit overwhelming to look at how much there is to do, its so impressive and encouraging to see the results of the work he did today.
We also finished up our guest bedroom, as good as its going to get. I have some places on the baseboards that are splattered with paint, but we figure that they're going to get replaced anyway when we rip up the carpet. So besides removing the tape from the windows and getting new blinds, we're pretty much all set in that room. It feels nice, and we both are happy with the way the colors came out, even though their both different than we expected them to be.
Oh, and i threw in a picture of our new wood burning stove insert, basically our Christmas present to each other this year, and a welcome addition to the house. So far we haven't turned the heat on once, and I'll be curious to see how the little guy does when its really cold outside.
We went out to breakfast this morning - there's one little pancake house in our town that gets PACKED on Sundays, but we were able to sit out in the sun and enjoy the morning..the best thing about this place is its hot chocolate, that came out with Halloween sprinkles on top of the whipped cream - i don't think I'll ever out grow my love for sprinkles..
Tonight we're having a last day of summer dinner and watching the baseball game that starts in a few hours. it sounds like a lovely way to cap off the weekend, so i better head to the store real quick to get our ingredients!
