Have we lost our minds?
Well this week has been a very busy but rewarding week. Saturday Aaron and I decided that something must be done with our carpet. With our bathroom coming along (thanks to the Wallace's help on Thursday!) and with the project with the end in sight. We decide that if we are going to sell our house we have to do something about our carpet. I went to Capret One and started pricing out carpet. Unfortunately I wasn't too excited at the thought of spending lots of money to recarpet the whole house. Instead I got resourceful and decided that if we could just replace the hall and front room carpet we could get by. So I went to Home Depot with a plan of action. Find some laminate or wood floor. Of course I was on a budget. The results? Flooring that is so inexpensive, we are going to do the bedrooms as well. We spent the same amount of money for the flooring that we planned on spending for the hall and front room! I found some great prices. Not only that we were able to spend half the amount of money we would have spent on carpet! Yeah. I am so excited about this however I know it is going to be a lot of hardwork to lay this floor. Luckily Aaron volunteered for this project unlike most of the projects that are started in our home. So again have we lost our minds? I hope not. This will give us a great chance to start decluttering the house and packing it up for our big move. I am hopeful that maybe we can just keep the house and find someone to rent our home. It will be bitter sweet if we sell our home now, however with all the work we have done I know the payoff will be great.

Mari,
Thanks for the email letting me know of the updated blog! I love the info and pictures, the boys are so cute! That is an excellent picture of you and Jacob. Talk with you soon! Carol
I wish we had done our projects years before we sold our house so I could have had plenty of time to enjoy them. Instead, I lived in a half-finished project-filled house that we pulled together days before we sold it and left. Oh well. I hope you can come back to your house and enjoy the fruits of your labors!
Wow, when does Aaron find the time. Joe has had some smaller projects on his list since we moved in a year ago. They are still in the "planning stage".
is it a byrd thing or just a married life thing to always seem to have a project going?! sounds like you made a great choice on the flooring! good luck :)
