Taking a small break from home repairs

We started the bathroom remodeling process in October and Friday was the last day that our contractor was there fixing something. It was a long road but well worth it. Every time I'm in my bathroom I feel a sense of accomplishment. I think our relationship also grew stronger through the process. Sounds strange, but true. Working on something as huge as that and having to cram the three of us into one bathroom for 3.5 months really takes a lot of patience and understanding. Our next project for the house will be the outside. We need to have the trim repaired and then painted, we need a new front door, and we need to fix some of the shingles on the roof. I think we will take one month off from working on something like that before we call up the contractor to come out and give us a bid. Then we can know how much to save and begin again.

Our home is older but it isn't a cookie cutter house which is what I love about it. Our home is unique because we take the time (and money) doing things that suit our style and works for us. Plus, after we complete all the renovations it will practically be a new home! Ha ha!

In personal news my son had his first soccer practice last night. I am now a soccer mom. It was freezing out there but it was so wonderful to see him run around and be a part of a team. He loved it and said he can't wait for his first game. Go Scropions!
