May was such a whirlwind of events. Here is a little update:
We have been working non-stop on our new home. About a month ago the work began with replacing all of the floors except for the hardwoods in the living room and hallways, replacing the countertops and backsplash, and replacing the shower in the master bedroom with a tub. Instead of taking a week like it was supposed to, it took about two and a half. When we came home from the beach the night before Mother's Day, we spent our first night in our new home on the dining room floor, because our carpet had not been laid in the bedrooms. After all of the floors were done the next week, we were able to finish painting and begin moving everything from the garage inside. We were working hard to get finished in time to have our families over for Sterling's baptism last Sunday. So, we have been working from the time we get up, to the time we go to bed on top of keeping a four-month-old entertained. Needless to say, we have had our hands full! Thankfully our family has been more than willing to help. Actually, having a date to be done was such a blessing. Alex and I both work better under pressure, so we are able to get just about everything done.
We spent a relaxing Memorial Day weekend at Alex's parent's lake house. We were in the middle of getting everything done on the house. So this weekend came at the perfect time. Alex is off on Fridays so we went down to the lake for a few days of relaxing on Thursday night. We came back late Saturday and worked on the house all day on Monday.
The Saturday before Sterling's baptism we had the wedding of a dear friend and roommate my freshmen year in Tuscaloosa. The wedding was beautiful, and Amy was a gorgeous bride. Then we had to hurry home to get everything ready for the next day.
That Sunday Sterling, my mom and I went to Texas to see my grandmother for the week. When we got back we drove strait to the lake for Pop's birthday (Alex's dad).
Finally, we have a bit of a break and can relax for a few days before it all starts up again!
