Michael and I have been trading colds for a week and a half now. We think we picked something up while flying home from Houston for the wedding. Michael got it first and now I'm joining him to make a chorus of blowing noses and coughing.
We're trying hard to make sure Gray doesn't get it too, but it's difficult when he goes to kiss me goodbye in the morning. I have to resist even though I know the days of him proactively offering up a kiss to his mama are numbered.
We drove back to Houston for Thanksgiving, but ended up not being able to enjoy many visits with family due to our colds. Gray had fun and, of course, I forgot to take a single picture the entire visit!
Now that we're back, plans are moving full steam ahead for several home improvement projects. We're getting new wood floors installed next week and are also updating some lighting and our living room built-ins, plus fresh paint in about a third of our house.
Most of the work is being done by contractors, but we plan to do the painting ourselves if we can just decide between all the swatches we've painted on the wall.
It's all a little daunting and I'm ready to skip ahead to enjoying the new space. Why can't it be like it is on HGTV and only take thirty minutes to see an entire remodel come to fruition? The goal is to have our house back in order before all of our company comes for Christmas.
Gray so badly wants to put up our Christmas tree, but we're holding off since we'd just have to take it all down in a week when the new floors get installed. To tide him over, Michael put lights on the outside of the house and also hung some up in Gray's bedroom so it would feel more festive. I'm ready to decorate too, but am trying to remain patient.
That's what's going on in our world. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
