This was a great weekend because we finally got to sleep in our finished bedroom! It really looks great. I am working on taking pictures of the whole room so that you can see the final product. It is amazing to wake up to that perfect view. It is such a great way to start the day. We also started painting the living room, we aren't done, but it looks great already. What a difference a can of paint makes. However, I do have one thing to say. . . paneling stinks. It is ugly and it is hard to paint. Brent took this lovely snapshot of me painting the wall, and it was not fun. You have to paint each ridge by hand because the roller misses it. Once I painted all the ridges, then I broke out the roller. I don't know if there is any easier way to paint paneling, but that was all I could think of. Brent also took this picture of the Preying Mantis that he found outside. I hope you enjoy that, Mary Scott. Brent wanted to make sure that you saw it, because he knew you would appreciate it. :) Brent is getting ready to start his first day at his new job. He is working on his syllabi, right now. We have completely filled the closet up with all of our clothes. I only have one more box that is half filled with clothing. It was nice to get some boxes emptied and get the contents put away in its proper place. It feels really good! The last picture is of Maverick hanging out in the sunroom. He is enjoying the view just as much as we are! Stay tuned for the final bedroom pics! I know that the suspense must really be getting to you!
