Reconstruction

Today I am Grateful For~

• Dinner from the grill last night.
• Eating on the front porch and listening to the birds.
• Being okay with the change in plan for our weekend project.
• Gutting our bedroom this weekend: pulling carpet, washing walls, floors & baseboards, and painting.
• The textured paint that Richard picked out in early March. Interestingly enough, the paint is called River Rock. And although I'm not crazy about the color (Prairie Fire-it's definitely a guy color), I do love the texture and it'll look girly enough once my comforter and curtains are back in the room.
• A suggestion from a fellow customer at Aco that we choose to use a base coat close in color to the paint Richard chose. It allowed us to use only 2 gallons of the River Rock, instead of the 4 that are recommended!
• That the color does go well with paint we already have for the trim which is a girly color-Brandy Cream. Think a cream color w/a hint of warm red to it.
• Re-experiencing the sense of adventure and newness of moving in, just by sleeping in a bare room on an air mattress.
• The motivation and energy Richard provides to these projects.
• How well we work as a team.
• Shaina helping me to rearrange the livingroom, put the a/c unit in the window and clean the house, so that Richard could come home to a clean cool house after his first day of insurance class.
• How well she and I work as a team.
• Much more to type and choosing to do it later in a seperate glog entry...
