Fixing up the house

Phillip and I have started to fix up the house. We have picked out the wood floor and tile that we want. We got an estimate from one place, but our neighbor that lives a few doors down has his own business installing wood floors. Most likely he will have a much cheaper price as he does the work himself. We already got a new back door with a storm door, and a new 9" deep kitchen sink...which I LOVE! Next item is new front door and storm door, and obviously the floors. We would like new furniture, but we're waiting until the floor is installed before we purchase any more decor or furnishings. I have wanted wood floor since we moved into the house, but now that I've heard the estimate of how much we have to fork over, I'm starting to think I can live with shampooing the carpet for awhile, and just do the tile in the kitchen and the bathrooms. We'll see. We've been entertaining more, so wood floors would be much easier as far as clean up.

The annual Mardi Gras trip to Shreveport is coming up. Phillip has only been with me once, and it was before Abby was born. He's coming this year and we're both looking forward to a few days off to relax and have a good time.

That's all the update I have for now. :)
