Heavenly shower!

Slower than M O L A S S E S S!!!!

Wow! This HEAT WAVE thing out here has just KILLED us and any momentum we had regarding the projects!!! I say it again... PRAISE GOD FOR AIR CONDITIONING! During the planning stages, I'll admit all the windows LOOKED so pretty!!!! But HOLY COW them suckers are HOT!  That sun just pours in and there is no way to cool things down... ;( so we had to invest in some pull shades! Even with the AC working ALL DAY we could not seem to cool the place down below 85 degrees! Happy to report the shades are working! The windows are coved but still have no real dressings to them.

We've been doing lots of small projects with the help of my dad whenever we get any extra time. All the TV's have been mounted, shades have been hung, crap cleaned up and shifted out of my driveway (I CAN PARK MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AGAIN!!!!), and the BIGGEST project completed is our private patio!!! My hubby and dad worked on it for a week to prep the land, lay the sand and meticulously lay each paver with a mallet and level!!! They are my heroes!!! I was so nice last night sitting on our patio, with a glass of wine, both French doors flung wide open with our feet propped up on the table watching the football game! God is gooooooood!

The guys are measuring and planning for the main patio off the back of the house today. They are trying to figure sq. footage and how much sand vs how many pavers they will need. Well the small patio was only 104 sq. ft. The main patio is almost 650! I think this project might take a loooooong time! 

ALSO OUR SHOWER IS NOW WORKING!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyy! It is so nice! It has one of those rainfall shower heads from the middle of the ceiling! It feels like heaven! I could stay in there all day! So needless to say... I'm much more encouraged today! This project is moving at a snails pace these days, but we will get thru it! More to come...
