So much for blogging on a regular basis. . .

Well, I can't believe it has actually been more than two months since I last blogged, and I am not even sure that anyone checks this, so I could be sending my random thoughts and musings out into the void. I can say that I will try to be better, but that seems to just make things worse. I guess I have a little catching up to do.

Let's see. . . Currently, Wade and I working on replacing our floors. The carpet that was here when we moved in was UGLY. That's right, me the anti-capital-letter girl just used all capital letters. Of course, as all home projects do, this one sort of exploded on us. Instead of ripping out the carpet and going to town, it turned out we had to raise the floor to meet the subfloor of the kitchen. Then, because we had to raise the floor anyway, someone, I think it might have been Casey, said "well, you should just go through the kitchen too." So, two weekends later and double the cost, and tons of help from family. . . here we are. . .


Dad and Wade were hard at work raising the floor. Looks like fun, doesn't it?


It looks like I am in the bottom of a chip-board box. Who ever thought I would be caught with a belt sander in my hands?

This photo is not safety approved either. Safety glasses belong over your eyes, not on the top of your head, Mr. Richardson.



I must be getting old if new flooring is now my source of excitement. Oh well, it WAY better than what we used to have, so I suppose it is okay to be excited. :)


Let's see what else is new. . . Okay, besides flooring. . . we received one of our wedding present from my parents, which I need to show off a little. :)





Yes, my dad made it, and yes, it is awesome. :) You just can't put a price on something like this. I love it. . . Now, we just need that wedding quilt to go on top of it.

Finally, I started working on my masters degree through Gonzaga University. I am one class into my master of arts in communications and leadership studies. I am really excited because I have been looking for a communications masters program that fit my needs, and this one fits perfectly. Right now, I am in the thick of a communication theories class. Okay, theory was not my favorite part of my undergrad, but it's not too bad. :)

Speaking of which, I need to get back to my homework. . .
