So I've decided I need to start blogging more. It's a good way to stay in touch with family and let everyone know what you're doing. I haven't really liked blogging all that much simply because I don't really know how to use the program very well. I think that with a little practice, however, I will be able to figure it out.
The thing that has been taking up the bulk of our time lately is the new carpet. We weren't going to get new carpet until tax return time, however, a store was offering 12 months no interest financing and free installation for carpet. We decided we couldn't turn it down and that we could still pay it off with tax return money without losing anything. So we did it.
It was a rough 4 days having our house torn apart. We could eat in the living room and cook, but no one really wanted to spend any time in these big empty rooms. 4 people and 2 dogs lived in our master bedroom for 5 days. We tried to stay out of the house as much as possible.
The carpet installers did a great job. I LOVE it!!! I have to admit the carpet is a little darker than I thought it would be, but I did that on purpose to hide stains. The painting I wanted to do is finally done and now with the new carpet it feels like a whole new house. We also put laminate in the entrance we use the most since it was so disgustingly dirty you don't even want to know. Now I'm wishing we could do the bedrooms too. Gotta pay this off first though. :) I can finally put up my fall stuff now! Yay!
