So Casey and I were at Jaime's new house by 8:15am on Saturday and painted until 8:30pm!! Yes, lots and lots of work. We were able to get the entire house primed (minus the garage - which is the size of house itself!) but it looked great. Mom and Jaime continued on Sunday and were able to get all the ceilings painted. More poor mother is still out there today painting away... I just talked to her and she has the kitchen painted and was going to start on one of the bathrooms. I'm headed there right after work to help get some more done. The flooring is being layed on Thursday, so we are going to try to have as much done as possible before then so we don't have to worry about being careful. Oh my... we were all absolutely COVERED in paint after Saturday!! It was hilarious... I will try to post some pictures. Casey was using the paint sprayer and accidentally sprayed his face and then he was going to town on a wall and my mom walked into the room and he hit her in the face!! HA!! It was too funny.
Jill and I had a great time at the spa on Sunday. We each got a pedicure and a massage. It was so relaxing!! Jill had never had a massage and only one pedicure. She's probably hooked now!

FINALLY... blogging!
Hello All!
I've been wanting to start blogging for some time now but didn't think I had anything so exciting happening in my life that anyone would care.... but, HELLO I've got tons going on and I guess this is a great way just to tell what I'm thinking!!
Hmmm... where to start? This summer has been crazy busy and it's over half gone already! We've had quite a few weddings and several more to come. The flooding in May/June really put a damper on boating, so we really haven't done much of that either! We did, however, bring the boat up to Okoboji and hung out with some friends over the 4th of July... we had a great time! We went back to my hometown (Burt) last weekend for the town's annual summer celebration... Burt Days!! It's kinda corney.. but I always have a good time. We had a 4th b-day party for my nephew Jayden and the weather was beautiful! We spent most of the day outside, grilling and just relaxing!
Casey and I are going to help my sister paint her brand new home this weekend. They are trying to cut costs in some areas and painting is one of the.... LUCKY us!! ha! Not really what I want to be doing on a summer weekend, but she's my sister and I do want to help in any way possible. :) I am sure my arms will be sore come Sunday... good thing I have a day at the spa planned with Jill on Sunday!! YAHOO!
