HaPpY VaLeNTiNe's DaY!

For Valentine's Day, Jon gave me some pretty pink roses and a picture frame with one of my favorite sayings on it.  It's actually the one on the top of our blog.

Since Valentine's Day actually fell on a Sunday, we went out to eat the night before.  It was nice and low key. The way we like it.

On February 4th, my brother and sister-in-law found out that they're having... [drumroll] a boy! This will be my mom's (and Kristin's mom's) first grandson. 

Olivia even knows the sign language for baby (among other words).

Our project continued...

Our storage under the stairs is coming along.  Saturday, Jon and his dad sheetrocked the little space.  The next step is to mud it.

We even have a light in there now.  Jon's friend came over and helped him wire the light and put in a light switch.  We also had to move the power outlet that was removed with the wall.

So our little projects are coming along. 

Since I'm not much help with Jon's project, my current house project is repainting the cupboards in the kitchen.  I've been wanting to do it for awhile now.  I think they were painted white (from brown) 2 owners ago right before they sold it.  So I am suspecting that they haven't been painted or repainted in probably 5 years.  They definitely need it.

House Projects

So we've decided to start on a few house projects.   Our first one is a small storage area under our stairs.

Jon likes making holes in the wall.

This is a picture of some of the storage space we now have. 

We need to do a few finishing touches on it but you get the idea.

We've also decided to put in laminate flooring in our living room (the rest of our downstairs is tile). We've already purchased the supplies.  Eventually I want to do the laminate flooring upstairs too.  The good new is that the flooring supplies for downstairs and the storage space supplies were all purchased on gift cards!!

Oh, ya we also want to paint our second bedroom and put up another medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

Yay for house projects!
