The new house

Of course my life will revolve around my new house for the next few weeks as I get the whole house painted and get ready to move in. Yesterday the painting began. Spent about an hour at Home Depot waiting for them to mix the 9 gallons of paint that I bought. Three friends from work came over to help, and we managed to pain the entire living room/dining room/kitchen area, and taped off most of the rest of the house. Half of the work out room got painted, and the other half got a coat of primer (above and below the chair rail).

I think we made excellent progress.
Josh was a good helper, but I don't think he wants to help in the actual painting, too nervous he will mess something up, or something.
So he helped tape, and then worked on yard work, pulling weeds, watering the grass. He didn't want his picture taken... So today I will start painting countertops. I'll let you know how that goes. I know it sounds crazy, I'm not 100% sure of it either, but right now my counters are dusty rose, and I just can't live with that. Not even for a short time.

Josh and I took a little time to ourselves and went on a train ride this past saturday. It's called Thunder Mountain Line, and we had dinner and a show, then relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We got to see a magic/comedy show, and she had one trick that I had no idea how she did it! It was amazing. It was nice to spend some time doing something nice with just the two of us.
