Working on the House

We have been real busy working on the house this last month. We kicked it all off spring break by painting two bedrooms. We started a third and have yet to finish it. In the meantime dad and Jarrett have been hard at work replacing three door jams. We technically have four that need to be fixed, but one is protected by the garage door. Man it is so nice that our doors fit snuggly and are not shaking anymore.

In the mean time our air conditioner broke. I get these sinking feelings in my stomach and just know something isn't right. A few weeks back we turned the air to get it going. It was a bit warm, but wanted to get that stinky air out first. Well, the house never really cooled. Jarrett always seems to think I jump to conclusions way to fast, so I agreed. However, my feelings were right. So, I jumped on to the Better Business Bureau and found some places. Called and had someone come out and told us our compressor was out. FANTASTIC!!! Well, they had to decide whether it was in warranty still or not. And it is!!! So, this week we are getting a new compressor.

Ever since I moved out I have not had a dresser. As a kid I had this old blue chest of drawers with some awesome superman, 6million dollar man, kiss fm stickers all over it. I am sure there were more, but those come to mind. When I moved to my bigger room at home I assumed the furniture that was there. Part of it was a dresser that my sister had used growing up. This dresser came from Levitz and am pretty sure it was about the same age as I was. Needless to say when I moved to my apartment I left it behind. So, back in 1986 dad built me a bookcase and as much as I love to read I had a built in book case and used that for books instead. Are you following me with what I did? Yep, I used the book case as a dresser. Of course, it was neat. Everything folded and had its place. Not sure why I never got a dresser, guess never found one I like. I got married and he didn't have a dresser either, and here we are still using the dresser together. I know sweet right!? Well, this weekend we bought brand new bedroom furniture and yes it included a dresser. We had been saving money since the wedding and for just this very purpose. It will be delivered FRIDAY!!, Which brings me back to getting the bedroom painted. We are going to frantically paint. We finally decided on the stripe color. We are in good shape.

Haven't baked in awhile, but will post those pics. I know I keep saying it, but will do it soon.

Tonight I am going to the Ranger game. Excited since it has been awhile and excited I get to spend time with my in-laws. Should be a fun night.
