Movin' On Up!!!!!!

So as most of you all know we live in a Hamlet town-home that we purchased in december of last year! Well the original owner was a older aged woman who loves the pinks and neutrals... BLAH! She then sold it to a young guy with a german shepard and another huge dog who liked to mark their territory all over the white carpet! Oh.... so when Ryan and I moved in in there were some definite things that need changing! Since we moved in with a potty training male puppy, gary continued where the other dogs had left off! We decided to wait till the spring to think about doing any major changes to the flooring! So we started with painting the upstairs and stair way... which then of course the downstairs NEEDED to be painted! Richard and Carole helped tremendously with the painting! After the painting was finished we noticed we had ants... IN OUR CARPET! We were done... we ripped it up, ran to home depot, and purchessed our beautiful lament flooring! With some help from Joe, Marsha, Brady, and Angie, the floor was down and we were happy.... until my brother Joey and his wife Ayrica came to stay with us! He loved the flooring but was looking in the kitchen... with ugly fake tile linoleum! So after talking Ryan into "how simple" tiling would be, and one more trip to home depot, we got our beautiful tile! In the process of laying our tile (a 3 week affair) Joey and Ayrica moved to phoenix! So after consulting with a pro (Preston Probst), Richards, Brady, Angie, and Boones help, the tile is FINALLY laid! So WE'RE DONE! Until I took work off for 2 weeks and painted our bedroom... so NOW WE'RE done! Although our house isn't "professionally done" we take pride in our little updates!
