I'm back!

I've had pics to post for so long, I just have been a bad blogger. It's been a busy few weeks!

Hello to Jacqueline in Europe :) Hope you are having a great trip and eating lots of cheese and drinking lots of wine!

Here are the final pics of the new (and much improved) kitchen backsplash and the fireplace.

The Fireplace Before:


And After! We are on the hunt for the perfect firescreen...


The bathrooms are underway as well. Drywall should be done Thursday at the latest, and tile is starting on Sat. Fri night will be spent priming the walls...oh weekends are just so wild arn't they!

A tub in the living room...how cool!



Current state of the bathrooms, this is the main bath, the ensuite is disasterous, so I'll keep it hidden:

Division D Champions

This weekend was Brent's flag football team (The Generals) semi-final and final games. They won both games and are the Division D Champions. Way to go Generals! Next week they play the divison C champions.

Brent plays both offense and defense. He LOVES it. They team played really well and it was really fun football to watch.

Phew!

My last blog entry and stress rant last night was due to a super high plumbing quote. It turns out Melinda (the interior designer) misread the quote, and it actually INCLUDED all of the bathroom fixtures. Talk about relief!

We had dinner on Sunday night at Aunt Eileen and Uncle Barry's place. It was so tasty. Thank you so much for having us over! They have been renovating their house and every time we go over there I get ideas. It's dangerous :) I wish I brought my camera.

On a different note, I have started running again. I thought I'd post it on here because if I tell people , then I'm more likely to stick to it. I go Mondays at lunch with a co-worker who is training for a triathalon. Then I'm trying to make it out 2 more times during the week on my own. Wish me luck!
