One Room Done!

YAY - tonight the boys (Mark & Ron) finished the yellow room. It looks really nice. Way to go boys!!!!

YAY!

We found some really nice laminate flooring and would you believe - not only was it nice but it was also the CHEAPEST in the store!!! We got a really good deal on it and bought enough for all three bedrooms upstairs that way the flooring would match and all that when we go to sell the house in a few years. It's such a nice colour and the contrast between the two floors is really nice. Mark and our friend Ron will probably start installing it during the evenings this week - if they feel up to it.

On Wednesday

This last Wednesday we met up with a gal from my highschool, Rebecca. It had been 8 years since we saw eachother too and it was really good to see her. She is such a sweetheart and has led a very interesting life thusfar. She has been traveling the world and taught in Korea and has had many cool experiences.

Thanks for having dinner with us Becca!

Update:

We have started work on two of the rooms upstairs. The yellow room used to be our computer room and will now be a guest bedroom and the blue room is going to be Caleb's room. The carpet that was in the bedrooms were very stinky due to Rocco using the carpet as his own personal bathroom. And it already had a faint smell from the cats that used to live in the house before we bought it. So - the carpet gone as you can see. It would not have been very healthy for the baby!!

We are now looking for laminate flooring. We already have laminate throughout the dining room, living room & hallway and can't find any to match so we are looking for something to contrast the two floors. We found some at Rona BUT have to wait two weeks before they get another shipment. We are going to look around at a few places today to see if there is any other we could get. We would like to get this done sooner rather than later as the contents of the rooms are cluttering up the rest of the house. Wish us luck!!!!

This last week.

The weather here is extremely hot. I am not enjoying it very much as it is so uncomfortable. Too hot for going for a walk at lunch time and it's too hot to sleep properly at night. Thus I am extremely tired and my dear husband is too. Oh I can't wait for summer to be over! HA - never in a million years did I think I would ever say that! Summer/fall has always been my favourite seasons but pregnancy puts a new twist on things.
Heard enough complaining? Sorry!!

My Mom and her boyfriend Joe were here for the last four days and we had a nice visit. I have truly never seen my Mother so happy! Joe is a really nice guy. Now if she will remember what we talked about when she gets back to Vancouver..(hint hint Mom ) everything will be perfect!

We didn't actually do a whole lot while they were here due to the weather but it was nevertheless a good visit. We went out for dinners and a lunch and then last night Kellie and Mom made a yummy spaghetti dinner. Oh but I do love spaghetti! We also hit the mall for an afternoon...ahh gotta love that airconditioning!

Yesterday afternoon our cousins, Larry, Andrea and Jason came for a short visit. I left work early and was able to see them for about an hour before they headed home. Mom and Joe are actually at their place right now in Rimbey.

Other than that, not much going on. Mark and I are going to spend a delightful evening relaxing tonight and we can't wait!

I will attach a few pictures for you to look at. And yet again it won't let me post the pictures - GRRRRRR

Hope everyone is doing well. Love to you all & God bless!!!!!!!!!

Pics

21 Weeks

Well, here are a few pictures of me at 21 weeks. Well I will have to upload the pics later as it isn't letting me right now. I felt the little one kicking for the first time on the 23rd of August which was really cool. I was sitting in a big room with the entire education services group taking down the minutes and just when I was starting to get a little tired (it was a looong meeting) baby kicked me! Wake up Mom! haha.
I haven't been feeling baby on a regular basis yet but I now know that she/he is indeed in there and getting bigger by the day.

We went for the ultrasound when I was 19 weeks and that went well. We didn't get any pictures though because the little one was facing the wrong way and all the lady's attempts at getting baby to move didn't work. But we saw the little one who is adorable and very, very loved already. Time is going by so fast. Before we know it we will be holding the little darling in our arms and wondering if she/he will ever sleep through the night..haha :-)

Other than that we have been very busy the last while with painting and re-organizing the rooms and all sorts of stuff.

A girl that I went to highschool with, Liz, came over for dinner one night hmm..was it two weeks ago already?! She came with her husband, Justin, and their adorable son Hunter. It was really good to meet them and to see Liz again after 8 years! So glad we were able to visit with you guys!!!!!!

Work is going well for both of us. I really like where I am at right now and the different projects I am working on - it's a shame that I found this job when I can't stay in this position. In fact I have 5 weeks left and I am done! I have already been there for over a month - wow does time fly!!

Tomorrow my Mom and her boyfriend Joe, will be here for a visit from Vancouver. It has been nearly a year since I last saw her so it will be good to see her again and she is soooooooo excited about the baby. We will be spending Sunday/Monday with them and perhaps a dinner on Tuesday and then on Wednesday they are off to Rimbey to visit her cousin, Larry & his wife, Andrea and then she will be heading to Savona to visit her old friends and then they will be home again.

Anyway, we are off to our friend Ed& Ron's place to use their stuff to paint the base boards and then we will have dinner with Ed and perhaps watch a movie this evening.

Take care and God bless you!
