painting

It sounds so fun...but it's NOT!! I have never felt so strongly about painting before. We have a LOT, and I mean, A LOT of dark wood stained trim in our 1977 split-level home. We have to put at least two coats of stain block over it before we can actually paint with the trim paint. At least it is rewarding to see the work pay off. It looks so much better white.

It Has Been A Busy Few Weeks

After the long, long drive from NC we spent a little time in Maine at the "The Couser Sand and Surf." The weather was mostly beautiful and Ryan, Heather and I actually did a little swimming.

We closed on our home on June 12th and started moving things in that night. We have been living around boxes ever since.

Ryan celebrated his 34th birthday on June 20th and I passed my nursing school boards on the 19th. It has been a busy few months but we are finally settled in and very excited to be in NH again.

We made it.

We finally arrived in New Hampshire around 9:30pm on Saturday the 31st. Lets just say, the trip was and experience. I am so glad that we had Jeff on-board as the official truck driver for our trip. It was quite a load to haul and on top of a full 24' truck we had the large trailer carrying the Jetta.

We are happy to be home in NH, but at the moment we miss the sunshine. I hear from friends in NC that it is beautiful there. I hate to tell you that here in Maine, it is in the 50's and rainy. Not a friendly welcome home for us. The following days are supposed to be nice in the 90's so we look forward to that. Got to love that New England weather.

Sorry that we do not have any pictures to post. My camera cord is somewhere in grampa's basement:-( We will keep you posted.
