Home Improvements

This weekend, we finally started and finished the tile behind the stove in the kitchen. When we moved in, we left that part white and didn't paint it because we wanted to put up tile back there. We looked at all different tile, and we never really found one we liked. When we did, it had to be ordered, and the shipping price would be as much as the tile itself, so it wasnt worth it. A couple of weeks ago, we were at Lowes, and we found the perfect tile. It was exactly what we were looking for. I was so excited! This weekend, Bob and my dad put the tile up. Yesterday, I helped by wiping down the tile after Bob put up the grout. I was so excited when it was finished. We have to seal it still, but we have to wait about a week to do that.


I liked doing different home improvements around the house. I wish I had an unlimited bank account because there are so many things I would do. Everything costs so much! One of our next big projects is our landscape. In the back, we want to add a porch. We have the big bricks picked out for that. In order to do that, we need to have the curbs put in around our landscape. And, before we can do that, we need to have the gutters put on. I just havent made the phone call for the gutters yet because...well, if you know me...you know I hate talking on the phone! For some reason, in Florida, the builders done put gutters on when they build the house...if you live here, and you see the rain, you would be amazed that they dont have gutters. When it rains down here....it pours!! So anyways, the gutters need to be up so that we know where the run-off is and such...This will be a big project, and I am sure it will take a while to get done!

On my last post I mentioned it was a big week for me, as I could test to see if Bob and I were going to be parents...well...I still havent tested! However, I still have nothing, so in my mind, I have a bit of hope there. See, after two years of trying, we get so down when the test is negative. Most of the time, I dont even make it to the day for testing, I know about two, three days before that it didnt work. However, this month, I am 12 days late as I write this. Now, this doesnt mean much, I have been this late before! So, I think I am going to just wait it out. If we are pregnant, I will be ok because I am taking pre-natal vitamins, and I dont do anything that will hurt the baby or myself. At some point, the symptoms will show up, and then I will test! If we are not, well then we will know when it comes...so until then, I will continue to pray, and hope that this is the month, and come March, we will be proud parents of a beautiful baby girl or boy!
