Painting and Cleaning

As many of you already know, we finally got our house.  We closed this past Friday, and we’ve been painting and cleaning ever since.  My office is painted, my son’s room is almost completely painted, and another bedroom is done.  We still have lots of work to do, but it will all be worth it.  The house has been vacant for over a year, so it’s dirty.  We’ve had to patch and clean all the walls before painting.  All the trim and doors will have to be painted, too, and that might not be finished before we move in.  It’s great to finally feel like the things I do are making a difference for my family.  I know it may seem like such a simple thing, but seeing the work we’re doing and making progress on our new home helps me to see our new future taking place.  It’s a lot of work, but we are all very happy.
