Wow--it's been a long time since i've gotten some thoughts down on my blog. It's not because I forgot about my blog, it's more because I just haven't been able to get my thoughts compiled well enough to write them down. I'm still not sure I do but I really wanted to get on here and just give a good ole fashioned update.
We ended 2013 with some great family time and a visit from my Mom and Diddy and we brought in the New Year with one of the best nights home together--just John, myself and our fur kids (it was truly great). 2014 has been pretty good to us so far! Once the new year hit we started a project we've been wanting to do for awhile now...we have demo'd our basement and are now working on putting it back together with a hopeful end result of a very NICE finished basement. Our basement has a guest bedroom, a bathroom, our laundry room and what we've always called "the back room". Until now that "back room" was always filled with alot of STUFF. Alot of stuff that needed organizing and alot of stuff that just needed to GO. We are going to now have a very nice second living space and we are SO excited about that. With this project any free weekend/evening time has been spent in the basement! I will say that i've learned how to do some new stuff--I took down my first ever wall; boy did I take some anger out on that wall and it felt GREAT! I also scraped every inch of popcorn ceiling in our basement--who ever invented that stuff must have been on some serious drugs when they thought popcorn ceilings were a GOOD idea. They are indeed terrible and terrible to get rid of. Messy, messy, messy!
I always have fun gearing up for a day of work in the basement...it usually involves a pair of John's work pants or in this case...overalls...
Aside from basement projects and my love for popcorn ceilings we've been filling our schedule up very nicely :) We're having tons of fun with our friends and we're really enjoying experiences and challenges as they come our way. John and I always enjoying sitting down and talking about life--about our feelings, our goals our dreams and we've been doing that alot lately and it makes me so excited for this life we're going to share together.
We're going back to Jamaica in April to celebrate our one year anniversary and i'm not going to lie...my brain is pretty consumed by this. We are so incredibly grateful and lucky to be able to do something like this for our anniversary. We're of course going with some rockstar friends which makes it that much more exciting. I would say about 50% of every work day Amy and I are plotting and planning and day dreaming about Jamaica and all it's awesomeness.
I now share some photos from over the weeks...
