Whew - we surivied the weekend of demolishing!!! What a MESS. We're not 'finished' so no 'after' pictures :). We have a bit more to do - we found the color for the living room - and have it half painted. We ran out of paint - and all the stores were closed for Easter - so what did we do!? PULLED UP THE CARPET in the living room. lol - what were we thinking!? :) No seriously, it looks quite nice. It will look even nicer after it has a sanding and restaining. That is our next 'to-do'. We have a LONG list of projects to do over the summer. It took us a year to figure out what we wanted to do - and I was pregnant last summer and fall - so I wasn't much help to Jason. SO - we're getting a fresh start this spring.
It's cloudy and yucky out. They even mentioned a naughty four letter word in my vocabulary on the news today "s-n-o-w". I don't think so - it's not THAT cold :). The power of positive thinking!! :)
That's it for me today - I'll be busy trying to put the living room and kitchen back together. Hope you are all well!!! :)

Proverbs 16:9 (from The Message Bible)
We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.
Sven and Ole worked together in a Minnesota factory ... and both were laid off. So ... they went to the Unemployment Office together.
Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty Stitcher. I sew da elastic onto da ladies cotton panties." The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher. Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gave Ole $300 a week in unemployment compensation.
Sven, when asked his occupation replied, "Diesel Fitter". The clerk looked up Diesel Fitter ... and it was classified as a skilled job. So, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week in unemployment compensation.
When Ole Found this out, he was furious! He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his benefits. The clerk explained, "Panty Stitchers are unskilled labor and Diesel Fitters are skilled labor."
"Vat skill?" yelled Olie. "I sew da elastic on da panties. Sven puts dem over his head and says, "Yah, ......... DIESEL FITTER".
(If you don't understand a word of this, then you're not Norwegian or from Minnesota!!! To bad!)

Hey, can you fly out here to Tulsa to get some projects finished for me? You sound like you do pretty good work, haha. Just kidding. It's inspiring to the rest of us, especially me, the queen of unfinished projects. I love to start projects, it's the finishing that I'm not so good at. :)
Just letting you know that I've been checking your blog almost every day and I love seeing what you've been up to!
