I’m so excited that I can finally share some big news with  you!  Hubby got a job!!!!!  It’s been in the works for a few weeks now, but we didn’t want to jinx anything by counting our chickens too soon.  Starting August 19, he will be the new Director of the Small Business Center at our local community college.  I am SO proud of him!!

And you know what that means?  We just went from a one-income to a two-income household!  Woop woop!!! And you know what that means?  We can afford to do a little more than we planned on the house!  At first we worried that we may be biting off too much, but now we realize, while we’ve already got our mouths full, why not add some more?!  Everyone we’ve talked to tells us that it’s so much easier (if you can afford it) to just go ahead and get as much done as you can while the workers are in there and before you’ve moved in.  No nasty dust and grime on all of our stuff.  No having to live in a construction zone.  And we are so fortunate to have a comfortable place to live right now, so what’s a few more weeks months?

And what are we going ahead with?  You guessed it!  THE MASTER BATHROOM!!!  (I literally just heard “hallelujah!” coming from the skies.)  After the stolen copper incident and the realization that we would need to completely replace the heating and air system, the dream of having a master bathroom started to slip away.  But now, it’s back in reach!  More details coming very soon on what we’re planning…
