This one's for you, Debra!

Saturday night we had an Avion night out! Nicole, Marc, Dave, Jim, Miriam, Suzie, Debra, Sarah, Gene

A bunch of us met up at Shoji's for some temmpanyaki and sushi! It was so much fun, but Debra gave me a hard time for not posting recently. Hey, I'm a busy girl! I had two classes last weekend, one class this weekend, a weekend retreat coming up, a mother's day half day class and that same night a youth group girls class at our home, all of this coming up in the next couple of weeks! Oh, and Marc's birthday is somewhere in there, too. Like I said, I'm a busy girl!

Oh, and we bought some new trees with Donna and went out to dinner with her afterwards on Friday. I have to tell ya, she says she is blessed to have us as neighbors and that all of her friends are jealous of her, but we feel that we are the ones that are blessed! She is always there for us if we need something, she loves our boys as if they were her own grandkids and she is a great friend to me. Thanks, Donna for being an awesome neighbor!! You rock!!:)

So, Debra, does that explain why it has taken so long to post? We had a great time on Saturday, tell Miriam it was great to meet her and I hope you have lots of fun in Europe!! I wish I was going too!

Wood floors are nice!!!

The chaos is almost over the floors are done! They finished with the sealant tonight. We still don't have anything in the kitchen or family room, but the floor are beautiful.

Now we just have to be careful for a week or so and get some felt for the bottom of the appliances and furniture. It's so beautiful!!

I'm living in chaos!!!

The past few weeks have been so crazy. The floor guys will be here at 8:00 tomorrow morning. We are at the eve of the wood floor installation and we are sooo ready!! I have a refrigerator in my dining room and a dishwasher in my living room! Oh, and NOTHING in my family room!This is a picture of my living room right now, as you can see I can reach the milk from the couch (one of four couches in there right now)! This is the dining room right now, here I can bake those lovely Thanksgiving dinner rolls without even leaving the dinner table!Here's the kitchen, the only thing cookin' here is microwave popcorn and pop tarts!Here's the family room where our wonderful couches SHOULD be and where I should be relaxing and watching TV right now!

Through this whole thing I have learned a little something about myself. I have found that I don't work well with clutter and disorganization. I am not saying that I am the most organized person in the world, but I don't think I could live in a home that is full of clutter and constant disorganization. Our family has a routine, and without that routine I feel cluttered in the brain, unable to function at my full capacity. Fortunately this will be all over soon. Unfortunately, we are talking about new carpet in the family room/dining room next!! Welcome to Mi Vida Loca!!!
