New Carpet!!

Well, we finally got new carpet in!!! So far only the two bedrooms upstairs have been completed- the downstairs should be coming in a week or two.

Let me just take you back to the carpet before..... these pictures don't really show how old the carpet was but you can get the idea...





So- obviously in order to take out the old stuff and put in new stuff we had to move everything out of the rooms-- we had a camp out in the living room for 2 nights-- and boy was it a mess out there!!!





This is our bedroom with the nasty carpet all torn out! YEAH!!



And here is our finished bedrooms!!! It is such a GREAT feeling to have fresh new carpet down- it's so much more comfortable in there, smells fresh and just changes the whole feeling of the room!





We are hoping- we'll see how life is this time next year with the baby- but we are hoping that with Taylor's next coaching paycheck we'll be able to finish off the house with new carpet and replace the carpet in the upstairs living room and hallway and the stairs. Updating a house takes time and we are fine with taking baby steps.


And just because I've seen this on a commercial where a person walks into their living room and it looks like a bomb went off and really the dog just destroyed his favorite toy... I couldn't believe how big of a mess he made in such a short amount of time! I just had to laugh! But Joey is getting much better- he is learning to behave now and has mellowed out a bit and the best thing- he finally can control his bladder and goes to the door like a good boy when he needs to go out!

I remember when our old dog Gretchen went to the bathroom all over the floor everytime you said her name! It was really funny, until you had to clean it up. Joey will get the hang of "going" outside, he's a smart dog.
