Basement Renos

The day after my birthday we started working on the basement (good thing I wasn’t hung over haha) We received all of the building permits the week before and we had bought all the lumber already! I’m so happy that this major project has been started and that if we keep up the pace that we have been we should have this basement complete sometime this summer!! YAY

Molly was having lots of fun watching us and I think she might be a little too curious....she was walking right up to the saw and sniffing everyting, she isn't even afraid of the loud noises! I might have to keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble!

I’m so happy that me and Josh work so well together on these big building projects! Really there’s no reason for us not to because we are so in tune with each other and love each other so much (and we are both so talented haha)! We spent Saturday and Sunday of my birthday weekend and then Saturday and Sunday of the next weekend working in the basement and we are 90% done the framing!!! Just have one wall to frame in the laundry room (we should be able to tackle that this long weekend that is coming up) and then we are done and can start on the electrical! (I’m also so happy that I have such a handy husband! There is no way we could do this reno if we had to pay someone to do all the labor for us)

27

I turned 27 less than 2 weeks ago, and unfortunately I do feel just that little bit older :( I have noticed that it takes my body just a bit longer to feel better after being sick and to recover after a good workout. But I think I’m okay with that because getting older means that I get to enjoy lots of other things and have lots of things to look forward to in the next year!

For my birthday we went bowling and had pizza and drinks. It was so much fun and so nice to do something that we haven’t done in forever. I really do suck at bowling but that’s okay because it is way more fun to suck and have fun :)

I got cash and gift cards for my birthday and I went to Michaels and Scrapbooker’s and got a ton of things! I’m so excited to use all this new stuff!! (and I am going to use this stuff soon, because I haven’t been spending nearly enough time scrapbooking)
