Over the weekend, Nicole and I decided to clean out the garage, and in doing so, I fell through the attic stairs. Thankfully, I was fine for the most part; I scratched my leg on a nail, landed weirdly on my foot, and hit my back against one of the steps, but all in all, it could have been worse.

I wish. These recent weekends have been anything but Sunday Fundays, as we have been in high gear working on the house. Since moving in, it seems like it has been nothing but project after project, but the end is near! I’m hoping in the following week, likely two, everything SHOULD be wrapping up. We spent this weekend wiping down the new drywall, priming, and starting to paint. Next week the new floors will be put in the bathroom, closet, and master bathroom. After that, all that will be left is finishing up the bathroom tile, toilet, and vanity. I can’t tell you how happy I will be once everything is wrapped up so we can finally kick back with our feet up and enjoy a weekend without any major projects that need to be completed. ...
