Our wonderful home

I was so excited to post this blog because Jeff and I have been working really hard on finishing our living room so that it doesn't look so bare when people walk into our house. We have done a lot to it since we have moved in like getting couches, making drapes, putting up a bookshelf and pictures, but we just had a few finishing touches that were bothering me for a long time. Finally last weekend we were able to get most everything done. Jeff's mom gave us some vinyl letting that we have been waiting for. We got ready to put it on our walls and it turned out to be a much bigger task that it should have been. See we have textured walls so the vinyl wouldn't stick. We ended up having to take off each letter and stick it up there with our fingernails. We did get it done though. After that, we ventured out to Pier 1 to look for something to put up on our vaulted ceilings. We got a gift card from a friend at our wedding and we never used it. Jeff and I just are creative like that. Well we went and a nice lady helped us find something and we were able to get that done as well. So now we have a few more things to add to our living room. It is looking quite nice and I am really excited to have it done. Unfortunately now we have a new room to work on. Yesterday afternoon Jeff came home and found a leak in our family room ceiling. So now there is a huge hole in the ceiling and water leaking out. I guess the work on a home never ends!

Looks good you two. I can't believe you did the vinyl by hand, what a pain, you have more patience than me!
