The Final Touches on the House (We hope!): December 7 – 9

After three grueling days of painting and cleaning, we can now proudly say that the inside of the house is done! With NPR and BBC to cheer us on, we washed and painted the hallway, living room, guest bedroom and accompanying doors. Kelli was even able to cover up the splotches in our bedroom with some fun murals. After completing the final touches, we had a celebratory bonfire with all of the drop cloths, used masking tape and incredibly disgusting rags. Although we were completely exhausted, we couldn’t stop walking around the house admiring all of our

hard work and how incredibly different the house looks.

As though it was perfectly timed, we also received four, yes four packages during this time filled with lots of fun games, food, crafts and love from our wonderful friends and family. We don’t even know how to begin to thank them, as they will never realize how much their love and support mean to us. Now that our house is done, our door is always open… even if it is a little far away!
