Wow I was just realizing that it has been quite awhile since I have blogged. Life has been busy for us as I'm sure it has been for many of you with the school year coming to an end and the start of summer right around the corner.
Charlie just got back from being in Esterville all week where he attended training on Active Shooting. It seemed like he really enjoyed himself and learned a lot from the week. I kept myself plenty busy while he was gone so that I didn't get too lonely. I spent a lot of time with my family, was able to attend 2 of my little sisters school concerts (singing & orchestra), got to go on some nice long runs with my sister Kelsie (to get ready for the Tulip Festival Road Race), got the lawn mowed with the help of my sisters (who had to come over and start it for me since I couldn't get the dang thing going-thanks Kasondra & Jazz!) lol, I was also able to get some school work done and much, much more. So, needless to say we've both been keeping plenty busy.
This coming Friday we anticipate painting the outside of our house. We are looking to put our home on the market in the upcoming month or so as we have found an acreage we are looking to purchase. We have made several updates to the inside of our home, but the outside is kind of ugly (in my opinion). Our house is a yellowish color with a brown trim (it just looks kind of old). So, we thought maybe by painting the outside of our house there would be a better road appeal and potentially more people interested in taking a look. We are going to be painting the house a shade of green (kind of a sage color), and then we're thinking about doing a tan colored trim with burgundy colored doors (I was actually able to get the doors painted this past week while Charlie was gone and they already look better). But other than painting the exterior of our house, I think we'll be pretty close to putting our house on the market. We have some smaller jobs to take care of like putting some final pieces of trim up that i recently painted, fixing up paint on some of the walls that got dinked inside and some other minor cosmetic stuff. We are looking forward to spending some time with our family while we work on painting and if the weather is nice we are hoping to grill at our house Saturday with those that were able to come and help us.
Well, I hope you all have great week ahead, and Congratulations to my sisters Jasmyn on her high school graduation this coming Thursday!
