A few updates

There are a couple things I would like to update our readers on. I am pleased to announce that the bathroom renovation project is complete...well, about 98% complete. All that is left to do is paint the trim behind the toilet and grout the tile around the toilet (minor details). Here is a look at our bathroom. First we have a look at the shower tile and handy double towel hanger. Oh yes, the light switch is new.
Second, we have a pictures of the new vanity, trim and bead board. I painted the room (walls and ceiling) back in May before I was pregnant.

Third we have a picture of the closet door. This door was in the basement when we moved in our house 5 years ago. It needed some major sanding and painting. Thank you Steven for installing the door.

I should probably take a picture of our lovely sink area, but I simply forgot. Maybe another time. Oh yes, did I mention this is our only bathroom? Did I also mention that when we moved in the tile was green and had been painted white? What were people thinking. There was also no door on the closet and the sink was so small it barely held a bar of soap. I am SO glad the bathroom is updated.

Another update is that Preston LOVES to color. Grossi gave Preston a super cool mat with washable markers for him to color again and again. Preston enjoys this project. Thank you, Grossi.

That is all for now. Happy Tuesday!

7 Year

Today is our 7 year Anniversary. It has been a wonderful 7 years filled with many adventures. We have traveled to 9 countries and over 25 states together, participated in multiple mission trips, survived 7 years in middle school ministry, lived in a condo, bought a home, had multiple pets, cars, motorcycles, and scooters. We have made decisions that have been wonderful blessings to ourselves and others, and decisions that have caused us to have to learn lessons the hard way. We have learned and continue to learn what it means to love another sinner who will never graduate from needing Christ. What a wonderful blessing it has been to be married to such a wonderful woman and I would not trade her for the world. I love you Katrina, more now than ever! Happy Anniversary #7, and I pray for many more!

Here is us on our Wedding Day - August 30, 2003

Here is us tonight after our dinner date. Thank you Tina and Nathan for watching Preston.

Preston Shoe

I went to the mall yesterday with some students and you will not believe what I found. I saw a shoe that I thought Preston would like and that would look cute on him. Personally I don't like big, thick, chucky shoes for boys. I much prefer simple, canvas, converse type shoes for boys. I saw this shoe:

This picture was taken with my phone so please excuse the poor coloring. I like this simple blue shoes. I then turn the shoe over:

Yes, this shoe is made by Stride Rite and the Style is PRESTON. I guess this shoe was either made for my son, Preston or named after him :) I only know 2 other people named Preston. First was my Grandpa and the person my son is named after. Second was a student in our Youth Group about 3 years ago. What are the chances? Oh well, I think it is super cool. Here is a picture of the shoe from the Stride Rite Website.

I would like to purchase this shoe for Preston simply becuase I like the show and the name. I would, however, like to find a better price as I don't think I am willing to pay $40 for a shoe that my son might grow out of in a few months. I will keep you all udpated.
