Better Late Than Never

So all the construction 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 the 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.

For Halloween this year instead of coming home and carving pumpkins and dressing 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 night 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.
