Okay, so it has been a while. Sorry :-(

Okay, so I have been a bad girl and not updated my blog in a while.  I am sorry if I worried anyone, I just don’t like this time of year much and I didn’t want to complain and be whinny.  So, what has been going on.  Let’s start with the bathroom.  The bathroom is almost done.  My husband just has to build the vanity for the sink and get it installed and it will be done.  Here are some pictures of how it looks so far.

This is the  makeup vanity that used to be my Grandmothers, and the  tub/shower.  What do you think of the color of the walls?

     

This shot doesn’t need any explaining but it really shows the floor and wall color.

And this is the beautiful  linen cupboard that my husband built for the bathroom.  He is so talented, at least I think so.  My husband and his friend did the whole remodel and I am loving it. 

Other than this, it has been about the same.  The only excitement is that B.J. now has her drivers permit, and is learning to drive.  Can we say more gray hairs are coming?  I am proud of her, but it is scary too.  My baby is growing up.

September is a hard month for me to say the least.  John would have been 14 this month, on the 25TH.  I keep looking at kids at church that are about his age and wonder exactly what John would be like and what he would be doing had he lived through his FA and BMT.  I know he is in a better place, but that still doesn’t fill the empty place in my heart.  I miss him so much. 

So that about does it for this post, I hope all is well with everyone out there in blog land.

May God bless you each and everyone,

Judy

Well lets get caught up shall we?

Okay, let’s see, About a month ago I started having some real bad allergy flare ups, causing me to have to go to the doctor.  He said that it was just allergy drainage that was trying to get my asthma flaring up too.  He gave me some antibiotics, and then I would get better for a few days then it would hit me again.  After the second trip to the doctor, I told my husband that there was a water leak somewhere in the bathroom, and that if that wasn’t fixed, than I would probably not get better because I am very allergic to mold and mildew, and I noticed a small patch of it on the wall.  So he and a friend of ours looked into it.  Well, let me tell you, it ended up being a bigger deal than we thought it would be.  Both bathrooms, which used to be back to back, had rotten spots in the floors, plus the leak must have been there a while because there was black mold starting to grow in the wall separating the 2 bathrooms.  So we ended up having to gut both of them and decided to just make it into one big bathroom.  So while we were without plumbing in the bathroom, I had to stay at my mom and dad’s house, Thank God I had them to fall back on!  We thought it would just be for a few days until we could get the basic necessities back in. HAHAHA!  We ended up staying at my parents for 2 whole weeks.  But thank goodness, we were able to come back home Tuesday, and man I have been cleaning house every since.  Remodeling is not a clean business, let me tell you.  My floors were a mess, but I have gotten them clean now.  Now all I have to do is”Spring Clean” the kitchen and living room, and then I can really clean my craft room.  Yes, I have a lot of work left to do.  But all that is left in the bathroom is the finish work, and the vanity/sink , and the cabinet for the towel and toiletries.  So, that about does it for now.  Oh, in case I didn’t mention it in June, my youngest daughter, B.J., got baptized while she was at church camp.  I am so proud of her!

Well, until next post, may God bless us all!

Still at my parents

I am still at my parents house, and my bathrooms have been gutted completely and have been sprayed with bleach to kill the mold and stuff so it won't come back. Tomorrow they plan to start to put the floor back in, and after that take the ceiling down and start the rewire job. It looks like we will be here until sometime mid next week. It is hard, I feel like I am imposing on my parents. They aren't even letting me buy some of the food, so I try to do all the cooking and cleaning of the dishes, or at least most of it. My parents will be going on their 2 week vacation Saturday, so after that I won't feel so bad because I will be using our food instead of theirs. I hope they have a great, and safe trip. They will be on their motorcycle, and driving up into Canada, and going all the way to Washington State, around where my sister and I were born. My dad was in the Navy, so we lived in quite a few states. So that about does it for now. I am blessed to have such wonderful parents who are there to help when we need them. I thank God for them every day, and thank them for being my parents and being such good ones often. God has blessed me in lots of ways.
May God continue to bless us all,
Judy

Well, we think we found the problem with my allergies!

Hello all, we think we found the problem with my allergies. We had a water leak that was worse than we thought, both my bathrooms had to be completely gutted, and redone due to mold and water damage. We are going to go ahead and do one large bathroom. I won't be online much because of having to leave the house so until later.
God Bless,
Judy
