What Color is That?

SO, it has been very busy since I last posted. Mom and Dad came in town for Mom's birthday and her 30th college reunion two weekends ago. It was great to spend time with them and utterly hilarious! Mom was bound and determined that the people standing in the alumni section were way too old to be her class......much to her surprise, she had some classmates standing around! I guess Momma just ages well! After traveling to Clinton for the morning/early afternoon, we car "toured" Newberry. I wasn't able to walk too much, so the amount of walking done at PC was enough for me for a bit. Mom, of course being herself, decided I needed to ice my foot....she went into the Clinton Hampton Inn and got me a bag of ice. She is special....and I love her. We then headed back to Columbia. Mom decided on the way back we needed to take the scenic route and find North, SC so we can say we had been to 90 miles southeast of Due West. :)

We celebrated Mom's birthday that night with Olive Garden to eat and lots of cupcakes from Cupcake here in Columbia and Dad's totally AMAZING pound cake! (Needless to say I broke the diet....yet somehow still lost weight!). We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out and enjoying each other's company.

The week was my busiest yet with flu shots. I was out of town 3 days of the 5 and worked way over my normal 40 hours! That left me with tons to catch up on at the office when I got back! It was a good week overall and I got to meet some awesome people in satellite locations!

I got an itch to change things in my house this weekend. So, I decided it was FINALLY time to change bathroom colors in my room, as well as my bedroom. After much scrutinizing over the colors, I figured it out, bought the paint, and was ready to go! A friend of mine was amazing and offered to help me paint. After 3 hours Friday, our first coat was done! Light blue with an accent wall in the bathroom and light gray in the bedroom. I spent Friday night with friends just relaxing and letting lose. Saturday, woke up early to see some of the cutest twins in Columbia. Ate some Moe's...which was way overdue, and came back home. My amazing friend came to help me finish the painting. We finished the second coats in about 3 hours as well. When we finished moving all the furniture back and were inspecting our work we noticed something funny. The trimming in the bedroom looked blue......weird. Then looked in the bathroom.....dang it the trim is gray! We somehow, still unbeknownst to us, switched our paint cups and trimmed in the wrong colors! So, we got back to it and fixed our problems. Now, all is painted and looks so good! I bought a new comforter and now just have to decorate the walls!



The new bedroom and comforter...just have to add the wall art!



Other than that, just have been catching up on work and resting. We start a new Bible study this week, which I am excited about too. AND it is halfway point for our weight-loss challenge at work! I am down 16 pounds so far....totally pumped! Hoping to lose that much more in the second half! Pressing through.....until next time.....ciao!
