This past weekend my parents came up to visit us and celebrate my birthday. We really enjoyed their visit, and got quite a bit accomplished too. Dad and Levi made the countertop for our new island in the kitchen, and it turned out really good! We are very happy with it. It's amazing how much you save when you can do somethings yourself. We have also hired someone to come in and mud, tape, and sand our drywall and make a few repairs in our family room. He has finished the kitchen area, so we scraped our kitchen ceiling to get all of the popcorn ceiling down. This week we painted the ceiling, and it is amazing with a new bright white ceiling and the new and extra lights, how much brighter our kitchen is. Today we will put the first coat of color on the walls, and tomorrow Jim (Levi's Dad) will come over and help me put the second coat on. Saturday Levi and David will install the beadboard on the lower half of the wall. We are so thankful for all of the help we've had to get this project done. It is going to be a bright, clean looking kitchen when we are done.
