Painting Fun







Well yesterday was seriously quite the day! We had a Newsong Family Service yesterday morning, so our congregation went up to Cool Springs for the 11:00 service which was wonderful! Worship was powerful- the word was strong and Dr. Shibley's word was timely and very good. I still have a lot to process about what he said and spoke over us.

Afterwards, Jordan and I went over to Mom & Dad's to eat lunch and watch football. We had such a treat- as we got to watch the entire Indy game- SO good, and they remain undefeated! Go Colts!!!

We headed back over to our apartment about 6:00 (it was so dark though, it felt like 9:00) and began moving stuff around and getting ready to paint. Ian arrived shortly after, and he and I started priming the dining room. Chris, Ferris and Robby showed up too and helped us immensley! I've packed up pretty much the whole pantry and kitchen already, so I rummaged around and found eggs, turkey sausage, pancake stuff and Ferris and I made "Breakfast for Dinner." (Side Note- do you like Ferris's painting of her UT stripes on our wall? GO VOLS! End Side Note) I sent Ferris and Jordan to the store to find boxes and pick up a few things, but when they couldn't get boxes at Food Lion or at Walgreen's, Robby proceeded to stop at Walmart on his way over and show up with a car full of Chiquita banana boxes! It is so funny what you end up packing stuff in....anything and everything you can find!

Thanks to everyone's help, we got everything done except a second coat of primer in the kitchen, which J & I will finish tonight. We have our walk through shortly, so I'll try and take some pictures, as promised. Very exciting!!! It was a really fun night. I think they only thing that could have made it better would be having my lil' bro around. I MISS DYLAN! :-)

At this point- I think we're going to hold off on painting our bedroom. The greens just haven't worked and I don't think I have time this week to try and hunt down the perfect color. I will take your advice, Trish and go to Home Depot for some colors. I think I'll probably get everything in and then have you come over once we have it in to see what you recommend at that point.

Oh, and I've told Jordan he's going to need to post a statement about the gotee. We are really getting mixed reviews here and I fear mutiny! We'll see what happens...

More pictures and fun stories to come.....
