You probably won't hear from me until next week. Little man and I are headed to Decatur for the night and to spend tomorrow at Point Mallard. I'm so excited. He loves the water, and I'm going to love watching him have fun!
Since I've gotten through my impending deadline of doom, I have absolutely no motivation. Does anyone else suffer from this? It's as though I have to be on the brink of insanity to actually accomplish anything. It's really not a good problem to have when you work in a profession that demands you bill for your services by the hour. I know it seems like a odd thing to pray for, but I find myself praying that God will restore that motivation!
I do have a fun thing to be motivated about lately, our new house! We close next week and I cannot wait to start working to make this home our own. We've got the luxury of about 4 months of time to renovate, paint, clean, etc. before we have to move in. It's why Pinterest was created. I have an entire board devoted just to the things I want to do in this house. Our first project will be replacing all the downstairs flooring. Our second project will be paying for the first project. I hope to have a newly remodeled kitchen inside of 18 months, but we've got a couple of things to pay-off first. We're going to be seeking bids from Home Depot and Lowe's on the kitchen so that we can gauge our budget, who else do you recommend? Anyone have a cousin twice removed on your mother's side that does cabinet work? An uncle who can get a steal on appliances? Anyone?
For now, I'll leave you with the listing picture of the house.

Go to Frederickson's in Sheffield and get their "scratch and dent" appliances! We did and have been SO happy with them and MUCH cheaper. And there is only one scratch on the entire set of 3 appliances. it's on the side of the refrigerator so you don't even see it! they usually offer 12 months same as cash too! excited for y'all!
