I'm Sweaty And I Know It

It was another glorious weekend in the attic for Derek. It's a delightful 120 degrees up there, so as you can imagine, Derek was just a tad sweaty. I even decided to join in on the fun and spend a little time in our personal sauna...

While there, I found out that Derek hasn't been spending the last month worth of weekends enjoying our sauna. He's actually been working up there, and he's done quite a bit!

He's adding turn-a-majigs...

Checking out our vaulted ceilings from the other side of the ceiling...

 

And he dove into pink itchy snow...

 His goal was to finish this weekend, but in true contractor style, that didn't really happen. But with this looming in the Atlantic...

 Derek decided that this project would finally see some week night work time. Today he started our bathroom remodel by finding a new and innovative place for our toilet...

While our toilet washes up in the shower, he started the plumbing into where the toilet will actually be...

He even had enough time to install our new toilet...

My week, however, was counter productive. This is what our office looked like last week...

But unfortunately I found out that my contract at my school was non-renewed, so I needed to start moving my career into this office. Ever wonder what a first grade career looks like? Something like this...

And I'm not even done yet! I did get one good thing done though! I made fancy wine glasses by dipping their bases in chalk board paint (Thanks Pinterest!). Now My guests will be able to write their names on their glasses...

Then I decided that chalk boards are a great form of communication, so I decided to paint some of our kitchen grout...

After all that productivity, I wanted some fun time, and I was in luck because this weekend was our community's annual Summer Sizzler featuring a DJ, a water slide, food, and friends...

It was great! The best part of the week though was taking our family picture. Derek and I want to send out we've moved post cards, so we had a friend come over and take our picture for the post card. This one was cute....

 but it didn't make the cut. You'll have to check your mailbox for the one that did!
