Relocated
Making room for Sophia, we finished up the painting and relocated my office into the guest room this past weekend. It’s now a comfortable combo room that I’m enjoying quite a bit. We got the idea to leave a frame of the old paint on one of the walls from Tina’s Mom, Marion, and it looks pretty cool.
I’ve determined that I’m just an awful painter. Patience, attention to detail, and a steady hand are required — I thought I had two of the three, but struggled mightily finishing two bathrooms and bedroom without destroying the entire house.
We had an odd feeling standing in the empty room that once was the office and will now be a nursery. In a few short weeks a little person will be living there and our lives will be quite different. Are we ready? I know one thing — we need to get some stuff in there soon, b/c an empty room in a full house is creepy.
Compounding our preparations, Tina got a nasty summer cold last week, it’s still dragging her down, and now I’m fighting it off, too. Lots of Emergen-C and clear liquids.
you’re already ready, you just don’t know it yet. Put a teddy bear in there or something.
We will being filling it up soon with pretties from Sophie\’s shower. Before you know it Sophie her sweet self will fill it up plenty.
