While you were in China...

What do you do to pass the time away when your spouse leaves the country? Well, here's what I did (a story in pictures)...

Monday I played a little of this
(Now picture the person in the red jersey with a long ponytail (that would be me) and leave the guy in the yellow jersey just like he is...on his butt. Now you have an idea of how our game went. It was sweet. I love beating a team that has 21 year-old boys on it.)


Tuesday night I played a little more of this at our church building

Wednesday I did this

and this

and this

And used this (my new Christmas present)

To hem these (sorry the picture is so horrible. Talk about bad lighting)

Then Thursday night Meghan came over just as the kids were going to bed to help me get high on paint fumes to make the house turn out like this


and this

and this
It's hard to see the color. It's a light tan/beige color. I love it. I'm very conservative with color (for now) so this was the perfect one for me. I love how the white doors and trim stand out.

On Friday night this beautiful lady
And this crazy man
Came home.

THE END

nice! Love the picture Mark.

And yes, sending 21 year old boys home with a LOSS was pretty sweet!

Okay, anyone who says they "still like white," after seeing that should just go to China or something! Oh wait, he just got back. They look awesome!!! I love love love the new look. I can see a major difference and now the downstairs doesn't look like an apartment!

Pounding people to the ground...awesome! I think that the house looks great. You and Meghan did a top-notch job. I'm sure that you're sick of painting now, but it looks great.What's your next project? :)

It looks great Marcia! This is the first place we have lived in that doesn't have white walls. It makes a huge difference. I love the color you picked, it is what I would have picked! I wish I could have seen you kick the boys to the curb...or better yet, been on the field with you!
