And So Begins The Painting

A few weeks ago Ross and I bought paint for four of the rooms in our house. We both want to paint every room, including the entryway, and decided to go ahead and get started on it. We looked at several paint color samples and really had a hard time figuring out what color to do where. We decided on yellow for the kitchen, steel-blue for the living/dining room, olive green for Ross' office and two shades of brown for Ross' "man room".

We started painting in the kitchen and it has made all the difference in the world to me! This house really started to feel like home after a little color appeared in the kitchen. Right now every room in our house is either white or a very neutral tan - nice but blah I love color and I'm so glad that Ross loves color, too!

Ross and I make a good painting team. We work on the prep/taping work together and he starts the painting by cutting in the top and bottom of the wall and I come along with the roller and get the main portion of the wall. It's nice to work well together!

I Love My Husband

I came home after a long Monday to find this:



Ross got me a candy bar (Hershey's is my FAVORITE candy bar) and a card that he wrote a very nice message in. On several occasions before we were married I would come home to find a card or candy on my front porch from Ross, just because. I love that he still "dates" me even though we're married and I know this is not something he will stop doing once we've been married longer. He truly is a romantic and I love him!
