The Last 3 Weeks

In the last 3 weeks we/I:
-celebrated the Hubs' birthday
-celebrated Sawyer's birthday
-celebrated my birthday
-were both in a wedding
-organized a production at church
-hosted a Bible study
-taught three classes
-went on a retreat
-took my worship team kids to sing at a nursing home
-attempted to nurse a sick husband back to health
-tried to not get sick

So yeah, it's been a busy few weeks.

Also, since the last time I blogged, we've been doing lots of little projects around the house.  One of them was taking down the border in our bathroom.  This is what it used to look like:



And this is what our floor looked like halfway through.  Messy.  A wallpaper border graveyard.  

Because our bathroom doesn't have a fan (it's on the to-do list), the humidity has been prepping the border for removal for a long time.  It was much easier than I thought it would be!  (Unlike the guest room wallpaper, which has been much more difficult than expected.)


When I climbed up near our toilet, I got a glimpse of the top of our little medicine cabinet.  And I cringed.  SO MUCH DUST!  I am not good housekeeper.  Don't worry, once I finished taking down the border, I dusted it.  


By the time I finished with my little afternoon project, my arms were apparently too tired to take "after" pictures.  No worries, though.  I found these- along with an opportunity to embarrass myself.  Hehehehe... 

Before we get there, here's back-story.  During my last year of college, I moved in with 2 strangers who became some of my best friends within a few months.  And while we lived together, it became tradition to take pictures while we were brushing our teeth.  So when the little lady and her hubby came to visit a few weeks ago, we had to revisit that tradition.  

So feel free to laugh at our goofiness.  

And check out the lack of border in our bathroom!

















So there you have it.  More mini make-overs to come.
