Last week was Nate’s last spring break. We had grand plans of getting all the work on our house done, Nate getting a good start on his huge upcoming research paper and also going out of town to explore a few more places we’ve been dying to see in Oregon before we move. But what did we actually do? House work, house work & a little more house work. It is AMAZING how much time it takes to get a house ready to sell. Even one that didn’t have much to fix up in the first place. We found ourselves doing yard work, Nate scrubbing AND painting all the baseboards as well as the trim on the outside of the house, me touching up paint around the inside of the house & repainting the front door (by accident…long story!), de-cluttering, washing windows, pressure washing the deck, etc. etc. All while trying to keep two busy girls entertained and trying to feel like we were enjoying our time together! We also had General Conference on Saturday and Sunday and Nate found himself finishing up the last of the painting between all the sessions Saturday, finishing the last bit just in time to shower & make the Priesthood session. It was nuts! Luckily we were able to have a very relaxing Sunday followed by dinner with our good friends, the Harris’ that night to finish off the week. Nate and I were also able to go on an awesome date on Friday night which made the week feel much more bearable! He took me to see the Hunger Games movie and then dinner at Red Lobster. Now that’s what I call a date! Now I can say we are officially exhausted and our house is officially sparkling clean. :) Let’s just hope it all pays off!
(Oh and April Fools was yesterday and I didn’t even short-sheet a single bed. Lame! That shows how busy we truly were. Better make up for it next year!) :)
