My mom is AWESOME!!

The drywall is done!! Wow, does the addition ever look awesome! I had my aunt Hetty over this evening to go through paint colors and help me chose the right ones(she is really good at decorating and such) and to show her the addition. While I was giving her the tour, she said that there is no turning back now! And it kind of hit me, that we are really doing this thing. We are building an addition that will be very comfortable and luxurious all at the same time. We are going to be opening up a bed and breakfast in the very near future, it's no longer a dream! How exciting is that! The taper was here today and the place should be ready for paint on Saturday!


So you might be wondering why the title of this blog is that my mom is awesome. As you may know Ben and I had another baby in the beginning of December, and it's been a little bit busy and crazy, trying to figure everything out, getting schedules organized and keeping both kids happy. With the bed and breakfast opening there are a lot of things that we need to buy, which means that we need to spend a fair amount of time shopping. Lately, Clayton, the older of our 2 boys has not been very fond of shopping, typical boy I suppose. He lasts for about a half an hour and then he just wants to be let loose. So this past weekend, Ben and I needed to chose some flooring, a door, a vanity and get some paint. And that was going to take more than a half an hour. I asked my parents if they would take Clayton for the afternoon so that we could go shopping. They happily accepted, and Clayton went to their place for the afternoon and ended up having a sleep over. It was AWESOME. We got a lot accomplished. We came home with hardwood flooring and a vanity. And Clayton got to ride the four wheeler, see Lilly and play with Grandma and Grandpa. That is reason number one as to why my mom is awesome.

The second reason is that my mom is coming over on Saturday to help me paint! She is a fantastic painter, and is willing to give up her Saturday to come and help me paint. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
