We have Counter Tops

We now have counter tops!!! A little later than expected, but I guess late is better than never....

We still don't have a sink....and the dishwasher isn't hooked up.... our contractor is supposed to come on Tuesday to install the sink and dishwasher. Hopefully he'll also put up the rest of the trim and put in the new window.

I still have to finish painting. I have primer on all of the "new" walls and most of the "new" ceiling. Hopefully in the next couple days, I will have the priming finish and can start painting. I am doing one of the walls red and the rest white. Still have to decide for sure what wall I am painting red. Any suggestions?

So far, I am very happy with the way it is all turning out. I'm excited for it all to be done though and to have my kitchen all back to normal and be able to cook again... and not have to run upstairs to get water... and for Brent to not have to do dishes in the bath tub.





In other news....

We are short a person at work... so I am working five days a week again for a while. I am also training one current employee to do front desk stuff, and it sounds like I will train the new employee once they are hired as well. I'm enjoying training others... and I am also learning lots of new stuff as I transition part time to billing. Doing both front desk stuff and billing makes work more enjoyable for me.

Stuff at church is changing a bit. We are starting a small group ministry in a couple weeks; sign ups are currently going on. Instead of leading a small group, Brent has been asked to lead Pioneer clubs for the little kids. The bad thing about this is that it is going to be taking place on Wednesday nights, which means the teens will no longer have a Wednesday night program. We will only have Sunday school on Sunday night with the teens.

The first weekend in February I am going home for a couple days. The purpose of the trip is to do wedding stuff with my friend Melissa that is getting married in May. I will also be back in May for the wedding. I am trying to work it out so I can see people when I am home....

In March we are taking 13 teens to winter camp. We are going somewhere different from where we went last year so the teens don't have to miss a day of school. I am looking forward to it...hopefully they will be no crutches and walking boots for this winter camp!
