Finally! (I think)
OK, so I think the bathroom will be done today! We painted last night and touched up this morning and the guys are supposed to be here this afternoon to put the vanity, toilet and the fixtures in.
Then I can put it all back together. It's about time. I am tired of waiting.
Here are the after the paint pictures, it's still drying. He fixed the tile too, I think it looks great.

The bathroom
OK, so we are remodeling our master bathroom, it's pretty small so we figure it can't take long right? Well, it's been almost two weeks. I want my bathroom!
Anyway I've taken some pictures at two stages, just after demolition and almost done.
It still needs paint, the floor needs to be cleaned up after the grout was placed, oh and DUST everywhere!
I know what I'll be doing on my two days of spring break! I will post more pictures when it's done!
Peace

It's been a while
Our computer completely crashed so we had to get a new one along with some new games which has Scott completely monopolizing the computer.
Work has been tough, I've had some medical issues going on, and Scott has been interviewing for jobs, some across the country.
We are getting ready to remodel our master bathroom and paint the outside of our house.
Sydney is loving school. Yesterday she came home asking Scott to teach her baseball, basketball and football! It was too funny because she was totally serious.
I can't believe that in a few short weeks we will be registering her for kindergarten! Holy cow time has sure flown.
She's getting so big and was just last night wanting me to look at just how long her legs were getting! She is so impressed with this even at the same time not wanting to grow up because she thinks that she won't have a Mommy and Daddy when she grows up!
We had a friend watch her while we were in North Carolina. She told me when we got home that we have our hands full with the four year old going on fourteen! Don't I know it!

Update and pictures





OK, it's Thursday about 1:00 Pm and the power has been on for about and hour. So I am going to update this and add some more pictures.
We are doing fine. Cold, but OK. We cooked over the fireplace last night, we actually had fun. We had some wood delivered yesterday so the big fire really helped keep us decently warm last night as we all huddled in the living room.
Cleanup has begun in earnest. It's really great to see everyone here helping everyone, lending a hand where needed.
All I can say is that I've never been so happy for a fireplace in my life! Oh for a husband who builds a good fire! Yea Scott!

More Ice Storm Pictures
Well, the storm continues. The electricity has gone out and come back on three times today. Things just continue to get more ugly. It's actually sad to stand in our driveway and either hear or see the ice just destroying trees in our neighborhood. We have the candles ready and we are prepared for more power outages.The entire northern part of Arkansas has been declared a disaster area. As is much of southern Missouri, Kentucky and I'm not sure where else.
We had a pretty easy winter until now, I guess we're paying in spades.
