Wainscoting and Volleyball

I just have to tell you, because I've been thinking about it all day off and on: We are so blessed. Life is amazingly good. I've been thinking all day about the things that bless my life....too many to even start to mention here. That's not what this blog is for anyway! LOL
Then on my way home tonight, I heard Chris Tomlin's song, "JESUS" play on the radio. Man, that song will bring you to tears! Most of his songs do. I like his style, his heart....I heard him in person one time here in Grand Rapids...very sincere man.

Anyway, I've rambled enough. Dan and I started the day out by going over some of the things we want to do with our new small group that will start this Saturday. It's called Extreme Marriage Makeover. Then we started the dining room's wainscoting.
YEAH! I've been waiting to do this room since we first saw the place. It's the one room I had a vision for that never changed. It was fun starting it and working on it - watching it take shape.

He DID let me use the power nailer! I put most of the nails in, here and there he put a few in.
Here are a few pictures of what we accomplished.













In the middle of it, we had to stop and install the bathroom/laundry room door.




Then we continued with the wainscoting










About 2:30 we changed course - I got ready to go into Grand Rapids. Kayla had a volleyball game at 4:15 and I wanted to see her play. Then I met a girl that had an ad on Craigslist and bought a set of flannel sheets from her. Her husband refused to sleep on them - made for a good deal for me!

While I was on that side of town I thought I would stop by the Rivertown mall. What a waste of time! It will be a long time before I do that again!

Dan, on the other hand, stayed home saying he wanted to get more done. He had no need to go to a mall! He worked on more duct installation, insulated some pipes, and other "stuff".

Kayla at her game....I just have to share with you, that kid is amazing at serving. She made the majority of the points for her team. They won all three games they played.










Levi and Gideon at the game








As we were parting ways, I peeked into the van with my camera and tried to get the boys. Levi was a bit grumpy at that point (he missed his nap today), so I only got one eye!



So.............for tomorrow.......Dan goes to his usual Tuesday morning men's meeting.
He will pick up more wood to finish the project, since we ran out of it today - in case you were wondering why it wasn't finished.

I plan to break out the paint and paint that wainscoting!


I really jumped around tonight....sorry! Hope you could track with me!
