new floor

Neil requested that I share this with our blog friends! We just finished putting new flooring down in our kitchen. It is a peel and stick vinyl tile that looks like stone tile. I was very skeptical of putting huge stickers on our floor. Mostly I did not care because we are putting the house on the market a week from today so, if we messed it up or did not like it, it would only be our floor for a few more months! It actually looks pretty good! Now we wonder why we didn't do it earlier so we could enjoy it longer! Neil is so proud and protective of it that he picks up any speck he sees on the floor. Maybe it is good we will only have it for a short time, he would probably drive me crazy!

We started the process on Sunday night at 10:00 pm after the babies were sleeping! I thought, "You crazy man, what are you getting us into?" We ran out of tiles at about 1:00 am so we were able to get some sleep. Tuesday night I finished up the wall edging by myself while Neil was working, then on Wednesday night we stayed up together and finished the pantry floor and under the refrigerator! It was actually kind of fun working together on a home project. We have not done any improvement projects together since we finished up the "moving- in" updates when we bought the house 3 years ago! Even though we had to stay up until 2 am a few nights it was nice spending time together working and talking!

Pray for us! We are starting the moving process! We will be leaving Alabama on Sunday and heading to Oklahoma for an entire month! Neil will be doing an externship at Baptist Hospital. While in OK our house will be on the market here and we will be looking for a new one there. We have been very busy getting our house ready to sell. We have been sorting our junk and packing up the closets and trying to fix a few things. This week we have to do finishing touches, pack for our month long "vacation", and leave the house in "viewing" condition so someone will hopefully want to buy it! AAAhhh! I should not really be on the computer, I should be vacuuming the house to prepare for the carpet cleaners tomorrow! I am not sure I want to risk waking up the kids since it is 11:00 pm. Well, that is the reason you have not heard from us in a while!
