New Floor

Since moving in to our new home almost a year ago, Shannon and I wanted to tear out the white carpet upstairs. Shortly after moving in we decided to save up so we could change it out for either laminate or hardwood floor. A couple week ago it became official. We now have a new laminate floor upstairs. The whole process took about two weeks from pulling out the old carpet, screwing down the subfloor, and putting the new laminate in. We owe a ton to Shaun who spent two weekends in a row visiting just to help us labor away. I hope to take some pictures in the next few days so I can give everyone a visual!

Our next big project will be the patio around the firepit outside. Can't wait to sit around it this summer enjoying a fire with friends!

I lost three pounds in an hour....

Everyone should try my new weight loss plan, given it will only work for women with long hair, but it really works. I finally decided my mid-back lenght hair was too long and I could no longer stand to deal with it. I have always loved the thrill of getting long hair dramatically cut. Not only does it save money on hair care products, shampoo and conditioner, but it also helps to take care of a lot of the headaches I get. I tend to forget how heavy hair is and when it gets that long that extra three pounds your neck has to hold up can cause muscle tension. So long for now long hair.
