Summer 2008

1 Comment

We’re both looking forward to heading out to UTAH to see our families.

After Amy finished school, we spent the summer at the beach, vacationing in Florida, playing soccer, and working on our house.

Amy accomplished some major milestones by Graduating from Westchester Community College with her Associates Degree in Nursing and then passing her Board Certifications to become an R.N.

 

We play soccer for an IBM summer league and have both played much better this year over other years. Amy has had a couple of good shots on goal and many great defensive plays. I’m the team’s leading scorer and probably in the best shape I’ve been in in the 6 years I’ve played in the league. Which has been good because our team seems to always be missing some players and playing games a man down with no subs. 90 Minutes of straight running in the summer heat is a lot!!!

The day after July 4th we started tearing our bathroom apart. We ripped all the tile outside the tub area off of the wall, took out the sink and vanity, both light fixtures, and the mirror/medicine cabinet. It pretty much looked like a bomb went off in there.

We then sheetrocked over the walls, installed a new pedestal sink, much bigger and better mirror/medicine cabinet, new light fixtures, and added an electrical outlet and light switch by the sink. We painted the room a warm, and sunny yellow which Amy likes and since she spends 9 minutes for every one I spend in there I let her pick it. The trim is white and we still need to install some type of white shelves above the toilet. Over all it looks really good although since it’s not a large room it’s hard to see in the pictures.

 

. . . And now the bathroom FINSISHED!!!

Here’s some pictures of the finished product. (so far – it still needs to be decorated, towel-rack added, touched up, etc.) Again, it’s hard to see how good it looks. You’ll just have to come visit to see it for real.

 

 

After the bathroom was done we turned our efforts to the bedroom. Here’s how it started.

Yes folks that is a purple bedroom. No, we didn’t paint it that color we just haven’t changed it since we moved in. And yes, we all know what a wonderful flare the previous owner had for color –

 

To Be CONTINUED . . .

Ready, Set . . . GOAL!!!!!
