It’s been a fun and busy month. We spent the first half of the month staying home, enjoying our little sanctuary and preparing for the destruction of our downstairs. With a second little one on the way, we decided to move ahead with a remodel project that had been slated for some time in the future. Adding a fourth bedroom (of one our current 3 bedrooms is used as an office) by knocking out a wall in our kitchen and expanding into a big open space downstairs that serves no purpose (gigantic dining room or second living room?) and building a wall in a different spot to create that extra bedroom for little boy. Our house is very unique and old, built in 1977. We fell in love with it when we saw it, but I won’t be missing the original cabinets that now lay in pieces on our driveway. It’s been interesting to say the least preparing and living through a major remodel as I begin my third trimester of pregnancy, with a toddler, utter destruction where the eventual nursery for the one on the way will be, and no kitchen to cook in. But it’s also an adventure and it will be so cool when it’s done. But more photos from the remodel next month.
Because before the remodel, we headed out on an 18 day road trip up to Washington – a trip combining business and pleasure, family visits and sight-seeing. We traveled through 9 states, visited old haunts and spent the fourth of July with my in-laws. Here are a very few of my favorite photos from this month. I’m officially halfway through this 365. And I haven’t missed a day yet (besides January 1st when I had a memory card go bad, but I don’t count that.)
