Wedded Wednesday-- Painting

We have been in our home 6 years this upcoming this October. We decided that we needed to do some sprucing up of the house, so we painted the entire downstairs of our home this past weekend. I have learned through this weekend, that I do not like painting, but enjoy the results once it is done.This might be the reason why when we moved into our home, Mr. J painted every room in the house by himself except for our bedroom in which I painted.  During this process we both found out our painting strengths, such as I am the paint roller and Mr. J is the trim guy.  We had some fun while painting and paint was spilled, trim was accidentally painted, but we kept each other laughing and the conversation flowing as we grew tired of painting or maybe it was just the paint fumes getting to us. The best part, besides my home looking good, was spending time with Mr. J.

I think I am the trim person and Hubs is the roller guy. I tend to be a bit more meticulous in the details. We always learn so much about our communication and marriage when we do projects together. It blatantly points out our strengths and weaknesses!

Thanks everyone for your comments.
I am glad that there are some many rollers like me. Jules, it is a relief to have the painting done. Now I just have to get my house back in order. The painting makes my house brand new and now I want to redecorate or move somethings around.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy.

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
