Work Day

We've had a very busy and hectic week! After closing on our house, we worked on getting it ready to move in. About 50 people from our church came one afternoon/evening to help!

Here's a before shot of part of our kitchen

Michael and Eric took all the cabinet doors off. We then primed and painted the cabinet frames and will put new cabinet doors on this week.

Here's part of our kitchen prior to the work day

Jon cut a huge tree down that was mostly dead and dropping leaves onto the top of our pool cage. We were amazed that he could do this! Bud (on the ground) is passionate about landscaping and planted some flowers, put soil down and made recommendations of how we could improve our yard.

Conrad was one of many people who helped paint

Not a great shot, but many women made food and showered us with baked goods. It was fun to share a meal with so many in our home.

Connor painted this shelf that I might put in the kids' room.

I stopped taking pictures during the work day because there was so much to do. All 3 bedrooms, the living room & the dining room got painted in addition to many other odd jobs. We are so incredibly thankful for the labor of love that was shown to us this week!

Also, my little sister visited for a few days during the last week and helped me pick paint colors and get things ready for the work day. We were even able to squeeze in a quick visit to Orlando to see our older sister, brother-in-law & 3 super fun nephews. :)

Now that we have internet, more house pics coming soon...
