A look at what we’ve done to our humble abode.
Drum roll, please…
 HOORAY!!
The bathroom is FINISHED!! Put on the final touches tonight and our first shower in it will be tomorrow night…just as my mom rolls into town. đ It’s been a long process and we’re thrilled it’s finally over and we have a beautiful master bathroom. Woot!!
Well our Easter was awesome. Spent all day grouting the tile!! Actually we’re both just happy that we’re making good progress – if it all goes to plan we’ll be done this coming Friday…and Holly gets in on Saturday night!! HA! Yeah, by the skin of our teeth. It’s good to have a deadline though because there were times today we were just like “Screw this…oh wait, we can’t.” So…it’s getting done…and soon we’re going to have a gorgeous freaking bathroom – one that belongs in a mansion!!
Well…we’re still not done with the bathroom. After busting our bums to get the first part done, we lost motivation until recently. Actually our motivation is NOT back, we are just being forced to get it done because family is coming to stay with us at the end of April. Good job, Holly. GEEZ. đ
The floor has been installed and Tommy is now working on the wall tile. He’s not very happy about it. Infact yesterday he was so pissed that it was giving him such fits, he threw a piece of tile through the new bathroom window and broke it. No, I’m just kidding…that didn’t happen. BUT he does absolutely hate this wall tile. I’ve been hearing bad language coming from the bathroom ever since he started yesterday morning. Some of the tile peices are huge and hard to cut…add to that the fact that the walls aren’t square and you’ve got a debacle on your hands…THEN add to that some horrible, cold, rainy weather and you’ve got a really grouchy man who is swearing at the shower walls. A grouchy man with a cold…who got it from his son…who is sliming up all the furniture in the house with his snot. GOOD times.
Sorry it’s been a while since an update, but as usual we’ve been busting our butts trying to get our bathroom functional before Dad comes down tomorrow afternoon. Well we got it done by the skin of our teeth and it looks FABULOUS! I can’t believe how well it turned out. The shower tile will be coming in on Monday and we’ll pick that up and then start again on that long arduous task. But until then we have 2 sinks and a toilet that work great and we’re thrilled!
The bathroom is slowly coming along. It feels stagnant simply because putting up dry wall takes a while and doesn’t really add anything. We mudded all the walls and seams and Tommy was able to texture the ceiling. Next up, we texture the walls and lay the tile. We have one more weekend to get the vanity and toilet in before Tom’s dad comes down to visit for a couple days. Hopefully we can get it done in time!
On Friday, the 21st, I attempted to attend the memorial service for Agent Brian Terry down at Kino Park. I’ll admit it was very naive of me to think that I could attend something like this with a 2 1/2 year old and get through the whole thing. Well it wasn’t even close. We were there for maybe 20 minutes and we had to leave just as the service began. I was bummed of course becuase it was a beautiful service, but I would have been a bawl bag by the end so it was probably for the better. For those of you who don’t know, Brian Terry was a member of the elite Bortac team in the Border Patrol. He was shot through the back by a drug dealer who was illegally trying to cross the border. He was an amazing man who served his country selflessly. Godspeed to this man and prayers for his family.
