Bathroom Remodel Here We Come!

What a week it has been!  Jen Strom was here visiting me, which was so much fun!  We always have the best time together, no matter what it involves.  To me, that is a true sign of a good friend.  We went shopping, made a home cooked meal, spent some time downtown, caught up on each other's life, and laughed a ton.  It was such a welcome change to the new monotony of my life. 

Tom was in town this weekend, which was the first time in over a month.  I feel like all I have been doing lately is drive (and I will be for the next 5 weekends...) so to be able to enjoy a weekend at home was very nice.  And, in honor of Father's Day (Happy Father's Day, Dad!!!) we spent plenty of time at Home Depot and Lowes. 

I managed to kill the flowers in my planter by the front door, so Tom helped me replace those.  We also added a few more plants to the yard because some of the plants from last year didn't live through the winter.  And, we successfully purchased the vanities, mirrors and faucets for the upcoming Bathroom remodel.  On top of it all, we filled our 5th dumpster bag!  We don't really realize how much we have done to this house, until we put it in dumpster bags.  In reality, other than most of the flooring, the roof and a few of the interior walls, the house is brand new.  What lucky future homeowners!

Our veggie garden: The Eggplant and Zucchini are new.  I refuse to buy produce in the summer!

I am horrible with plant names, but the one in the middle is new

We replaced our dead rose bushes with new Hydrangeas and added a Coleus

No more dead flower planter at this house! Turns out if the drainage hole is plugged, it won't drain...

Lucky #5! There was a ton more in here, but Dumpster Divers took a lot of it

And so it begins...

Our new bathroom vanities! 

A Little Behind...

Wow, a lot of time has passed since I posted last!  Life has seemed to get crazy lately and I just haven't found the time to update, my apologies! 

Memorial weekend was lovely, with great weather and lots of time spent with our good friends.  It was exactly what Tom and I needed!  But, like always, we were exhausted at the end of it all.  We absolutely love seeing all of our friends, but we always try to squeeze so much into our time in MN and forget to spend time together, just the two of us.  Maybe someday we will be able to spend more time together, I guess that is the way that the cookie crumbles for us these days. 

Last weekend we were in Wisconsin Dells with Tom's brother, Jay and his girlfriend Toni and her two girls.  The rain managed to hold of just long enough to get some tanning in by the pool.  It is always nice to see his family and spend time catching up on each others lives.  We wish we could do it more often, but we are literally busy every weekend this summer...  I need a vacation!

This week has been a stressful one, and it is only Tuesday!  I was supposed to have my yearly review with my boss yesterday, and I fully intended on letting him know what has been going on in my life.  But, he had some family issues and had to cancel.  I was pretty bummed because I was mentally prepared, but family certainly comes first.  Then, my computer crashed.  And, to be a sales rep without a computer, is literally crippling.  So, off to Best Buy to get a new one.  Blah.  Today brought a converstaion with my Regional Manager about my possibilities to transfer to Minnesota.  It doesn't look like there is a position for me within Dental, so I have officially applied to be in sales on our Medical side.  Keep your fingers crossed for me because it is the only open position in the state at the moment!

If you have room on your prayer chains, please say a prayer for my Grandpa and little Leo.  Both could really use comforting thoughts right now.

Love to you all!
