New things

We got new carpet last Friday and I absolutely LOVE it! It makes our house look a lot different, which is a good thing. To save ourselves a few bucks we decided to do the furniture moving and removal of the old carpet ourselves (I say we, but it was really Dave doing most of the work). After the carpet was installed, but before we put everything back in its place, I got this crazy idea to paint our bedroom. I've been wanting to do it for a while, but just haven't had the motivation. An empty bedroom was all the motivation I needed. It always amazes me how a coat of paint can change the entire look/feel of a room. I think it turned out pretty nice. Below are before and after pictures.

The bottom step really shows the wear

Isn't it pretty?

Since I'm horrible at keeping a journal, but do an okay job of keeping our blog updated, I've wanted to try out Blog2Print so that we would have a hard copy of all of my blog posts. I started this blog in 2007 so I'm only four years behind! I knew it would be too large of a book if I tried to have it all printed out (it might not have even been an option) so instead I decided to break it down into years and start with the most recent year we completed, 2010. It isn't exactly perfect because the editing options on Blog2Print are very limited and of course videos aren't included, but it is nice to have it. Now I just need to work on 2009 which was a busy year for us because of Miles' arrival.
