Fixin' things up

WHOA!!! I am so tired!



Since we have finished school I have started redoing parts of the house. So far I have painted the living area, hall way and now the bathroom. We pulled all the old wall paper down, scraped the ceiling, painted the ceiling and tore down the wall around the tub.



I mean since it was falling down anyway might as well replace it, right? We are installing a tub surround piece. Hubby thought of this after looking at the hole in the wall that I had made.


I really enjoy doing home projects! The reason for all of the painting, papering and tiling is NEW CARPET!!! NEW CARPET!!!!


This past winter was the coldest we here in my part of Texas have had in a while. We have hard wood floors in our house and we froze!!! I ended up putting blankets down on the floor to help keep the house warm. Our house is also a pier and beam house.


When we bought this house 12 years ago there was green carpet through out the house. Between kids running in and out, 2 different dogs living with us at different points in our lives, Dr. Pepper spills, that carpet was SHOT!!!


So, I get the bright idea one Spring Break to take up the carpet with plans to redo the hard wood floors. That's been about 3 years now and it ain't happening!!!


Hello Lowe's and carpet!!! Not to mention some other home projects that need to get done.


Our church is also going through some redesigning. When this church began Mike wanted it to be like a New Testament church. Back then people would get together at each others houses and have church. Men or Elders would teach the others that gathered. We will begin this type of learning this week. On Tuesday night we get together and have prayer and worship. Everyone brings something to eat and believe me no one goes hungry!


During the week we will have "life groups" at someone's house then come together on Sundays and worship, eat and fellowship. I am truly excited!! We have new people coming, Buddy, Sherry, John, Linda, Trace and Gina.


It is truly a miracle that Trace and Gina will be joining us on this adventure. Gina grew up in a church here on the lake and has never been any where else.


Buddy can play any instrument and his wife can sing. Now along with some others at the church our praise and worship should be awesome!!!

God is about to do something mighty and we are apart of it. It is so exciting!!! Praise God for all he is doing!!
