Winds of change.

I have neglected the blog due to busy-ness. I'm hoping to start catching up soon... so much to share, so little time. Things are happening and changing, and I definitely want to document them, for memory's sake.

Here's just a little glimpse of life lately:

I took another quick trip to UT to hang out with my girl Evie, who is home at last.

AND I got to hang out with my girl Scarlett, too!

Ahhhhhh... the blessing of being a grammy. I love these girls.

I also visited with all my UT kids - some multiple times. I love spending time with them all!

(Bill and Mar had to stay home to go to work and school... I'm so glad to have the flexibility to go!)

Once I was home I went headfirst into home improvement projects.

My apologies for the blurry pic, but it's what I can quickly access at the moment.

See all that brass???? UGH! I've been wanting to rid myself of it FOR YEARS.

It's happening. In fact, it's happened. 

I thought I had pictures, but remembered that I had Snapchatted the pics to my kids, thus I don't really have them. I will take some and share... soon! I'm telling you, I wish I had done this simple fix long, long ago! And no, I didn't spend upwards of $800-$1000 to change out the hardware. 

Today I am purchasing paint.

I was hoping to be able to match the existing paint, to no avail.

These walls were painted 15 years ago, and we know the painters who did them thinned the paint down like crazy. I can't get the color to match OR the flat finish to match, so it looks like I'll be repainting the entire master bedroom/bathroom, rather than just a quick touch-up.

We are getting new kitchen countertops, refinishing the wood floor on the main level, and replacing the flooring in the master bedroom/bath. I'm telling you, it's been a bit crazy! I'm excited for the end result, though, which I hope to share in the next couple of weeks.

Once we're finished, we'll begin again.

More on that to come!
