Hello

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, but life's been more hectic than imaginable. Isaac and I recently purchased a house. So, between helping with my mom, work, and working on the house, I haven't had much time to write. An update on my mom--she's home and has a new hip. Now she's just continuing with physical therapy and antibiotics. She's well on her way to walking in to church on Easter Sunday. Praise God!!

As for the house, we have everything out of the apartment now and are working on redecorating. It's so much fun to actually add color and design things the way we want them. Our kitchen and bedroom are finished and our office is almost done. We got the walls painted last night and Isaac hooked the computer up today. We need a new floor covering, but it's all so expensive, so I think we're just going to have to put up with the ugly carpet for now. Everyone keeps reminding us that we have our whole lives to make our house just the way we want, but it's too exciting and we're having too much fun! The money issue could be a problem though and with our first mortgage payment coming up, I think we'll have to hold off on more projects until we can replenish the reserves :-)

    Congratulations! That is so exciting, and I'm so happy to know your mom has been doing well. I was beginning to worry since we had not heard from you in a while :) Enjoy decorating the house, I'm sure it will be very exciting! Derek and I have a house, but unfortunately since we don't own it, we can't remodel or revamp anything...Keep us posted!

    Chris - It is great to hear from you! Make sure to let us know your new address and phone number sometime soon (but obviously not on here). I am really happy for you two that things are going so well. It is also so exciting that your mom is recovering!

    So glad to hear from you again! And that is so exciting about your house! I can't wait until I actually move into somewhere I am going to stay awhile and can decorate it the way I want (which won't be for awhile for me!) I can understand why you want to get it all done now! But you do have some time.

    Yeah! I'm so happy for your mom and for your new house. You are like a real grown up now!! (I'm still working on it!) I can't wait to see your new place sometime! You should have a baby like Laura and I'll come visit! Just kidding!! One step at a time!! Keep the updates coming. We miss you!!

    I understand about wanting to remodel things. I loved that my landlord let me paint my walls - but I agree, it's so easy to want to spend way too much money - good luck with it!! Glad to hear your mom is doing well!!
