So the bathroom's official birthday was last Monday. The glass got installed and the can light was put in the shower. The first official shower was on Tuesday and it was Wonderful! With a capital W. But....the light had already burnt out in the shower. Yeah. When the glass wall and door got installed the waterproofing caulking stunk big time, so I turned on the fan which is now connected to the can light in the shower. It was on for maybe half a day before it burnt out. And get this, I couldn't get the waterproof cover off nearly as easily as the electrician had shown me. When Mom and I looked at it we thought it looked like it was melted along with the interior of the can. We guessed the guy put in a too high wattage light. So we called them and they came and fixed it today. Guess what, it's only supposed to have a 40 watt lightbulb in it. And then the next let down, after the first showers we discovered that the glass door leaked. We called the glass people and they came out today and fixed that too. It took me all week to finally discover that the little rubber flap on the bottom of the door was not going inside the bottom lip of the threshold and was acting like a shower curtain on the outside of a bathtub. The water was running down and out onto the tiled stoop. So they cut that down and added a bit more caulking to some places we'd found that weren't sealed really well. So now that everything is fixed that should be it for the bathroom! Yea! Happy Birthday!
And on a lighter note I am totally psyched that Friday I get to go see New Moon!!!! I am still in love with the Twilight movies and I am even going to wear my Twilight T-shirt to work all day long in honor of New Moon. They all know I am crazy anyways so.... ;)

Better Late Than Never
So all the cons
truction fun at our house has really eaten up the time I could've spent blogging. The good news is the bathroom is almost done and it will be finished on Nov. 9th. That's when the glass half wall and door is being installed and we can start taking showers downstairs again! Hooray! Last Monday they put in all of our plumbing fixtures and toilet so we have 
been blessed for a week of not running upstairs everytime you have to "go". The couple of weeks before that the counters went in and then the countertop people came out and measured and had the top fabricated and installed. It is a Staron (like Corian) counter with integrated sinks and it is an off-white to sandy color that looks more pink with the paint on t
he walls. The bathroom tile is completed with grout and I turned on the heating element after one morning of cold tile. Walking into the bathroom in the morning and having the tile all warm and toasty to your bare feet is the most amazing thing in the world. I haven't taken my first bath in the new bathtub yet...but we'll get there.

essing up Toby and Ariel we went to a wedding! Tabetha, my cousin-in-law Leslie's neice, got married and we were able to make it after working that day. It was really beautiful, if slightly cold, and a really nice way to spend a Halloween evening. You see no one ever comes to our house for trick-or-treating cause it's out in the country, so our usual n
ight is spent watching Hocus Pocus and eating caramel corn. Tayla was a flower girl and Justin was a greeter (both are in the pic above). When we got there Mom and I were looking around for Leslie and I thought I saw Justin, but wasn't sure, and had to get real close to see if it was him. He's taller than me now!! It was nicest to see Leslie, Justin and Tayla and chat a bit about what's going on with everyone.
