The home improvements continue!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful July 4th! This year it was very low key for me. Chris and I took advantage of his extra time off work to get a lot done in the house. We worked both Saturday and Sunday and accomplished a lot. We also bought sparklers for the wedding along with some other fireworks that Chris really enjoyed shooting off Sunday night. My neighborhood had a little cove party on Sunday. So we spent Sunday evening eating BBQ, hanging with the neighbors, and watching everyone shoot off their fireworks. It was nice though, I was so tired from painting! Saturday after Jazzercise my mom came out to the house and helped me get going on painting the master bathroom. That room was the HARDEST room in the house to paint. So many doorways, angles, and high ceilings! Thankfully Chris came home early from work and helped us knock a lot of it out. Here is the finished product in the master bathroom.

Towel rack and doorway to my closet!

Toilet area....I know you really wanted to see this.

Shower and tub area...see those crazy angles!

So, we were pretty tired after Saturday. We decided to push through and work the next day too (July 4th) and I took on the project of painting the other smaller bathroom at the house, and Chris hung light fixtures and started working on organizing the garage. We do have a lot to do still, but this week we are finalizing flooring and that makes me sooooo excited! Here are pictures of the bathroom I painted BY MYSELF and the light Chris hung.

This is the color I chose. Chocolate Truffle. Yum.

And the lovely light Chris hung for over our kitchen table (once we buy one) it matches the hallway light and the buffet light over the kitchen sink.

So that's what's been going on in the home improvement department!

Last Friday I went up to St. George's to start getting some things organized in my classroom. Well, I did accomplish a lot, however, I really want to get to work because the 4th grade teacher next door is DONE in her room! I know I still have plenty of time but seeing a completed classroom overwhelms me! I think tomorrow morning I'm going to head up and finish up the organizing so that I can start on the decorating. I also found out last Friday who the associate teacher who will be working with me is. I'm very excited to be working with her, and I can't wait to meet with her in the classroom and start planning!

It's 109 days until the wedding, and while that seems like a lot...I know it will go by fast. I really just want everything to run smoothly, keep a calm head, and enjoy this time!

Happy Blogging Everyone!
