Long time, no post

Geez, anyone who might have checked my blog regularly has probably quit trying to find something new here. We've been very busy. Really, we have. Jeff's been working late...something about servers and broken drives. Blah, blah blah. I listen, but I have no idea what he's talking about. I only know it's serious because he's usually home by 4, but didn't get home till 7 or later some days last week.

Not the case with me. There's been no mail. Whooppeeee! I've been home by 2. Okay, so I was more lazy than busy.

But this weekend was a whirlwind of activity. Friday we started on the guest room. I painted trim and vented closet doors. I worked Saturday (again), while Jeff went to home depot on his own to pick a color for the guest room. I must admit, I was worried. Needlessly so, it turns out. He came home and put on the first coat of "distant mountain"

As you can see. He did a good job. I think it will match the bedding very well. Sorry about the crummy picture, but it does let you see how we had to shuffle furniture around and that on Sunday we also got halfway thru laying the flooring.

Saturday night we went to a party with a group of other bloggers in the area. This kind of thing is tough for a shy Jeff and I, but we really wanted to meet other people doing this adoption thing. It was nice to talk to other people going thru the same thing. Thanks for inviting us, Lisa. It was also great to meet Cindy and Brent. (same age, first baby, similar timeline, also suffering thru home improvement)

Sunday night we kind of hung out in the hot tub and recovered.

And today? But it's Monday, Georgia. What are you talking about?

It's President's day, Y'all. As a gov't employee, I must stay home and celebrate the Presidents. Jeff just left for work, poor thing. And I'm going back to bed. I truly need to enjoy today because it's the last in the busy federal holiday season. There's Labor day, Columbus day, Veteran's day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, MLK, and Presidents all lined up before a very dry season until Memorial day. I must make every moment count!!! Back to BED!

It was great meeting you Saturday and hope that you continue to attend the gatherings. Love the room color and can't wait to see it finished! I love home improvement and nursery pics.

I just loved your "It's President's Day" part of your post. My husband and I were just talking about that...only gov. (he is in the Air Force) and state (teacher) get off!! I read it out loud and we both laughed! :)

Jeffrey and I were just talking about cousin Zoe. He wants to know when she'll be home. Me too.We pray for her often and look at China on the map when we do. By the way, can't wait to see the guest room - thanks for all the work. Deanna
