Home Improvements

Hey there!


Wanted to give everyone the latest about what is happening in Hughes-ville.  Look at our new counters!  They were a sort of beige something before, so trust me that this is an improvement.  It was quite a project for Joshua and I am so happy how they turned out!  Good Job Honey! 

Also a couple of weeks ago we had a group of very amazing friends come to help us paint the inside of our house.  We started at 9am and were mostly finished by lunch!  It was surprising how fast it went and how many of our friends who really hate painting came anyway.  And only one unplanned trip to Home Depot was made!  All and all very successful.  It was nice to put all the furniture back the same day we painted.  This color is called "Sea Star" and I love it! 
Joshua had his second interview with the local UMS (university model school) last week, and it went great.  We are waiting to hear back on their decision.  The way it works is that the kids go to school 2 days a week, say Tuesday/Thursday and then the parents teach them at home on the other days.  We have looked at this as a possibility for the boys in the past so we are pretty interested/excited about this opportunity.  Josh is also working on a new garden technique for this year's spring garden.  If you haven't heard of it, check out http://backtoedenfilm.com/.  Very interesting methods and ties to Scripture.  Anything to help in this arid Texas weather!  Aren't the baby plants so cute! 


Spring break is next week!  Can you believe it is March already?  We don't have any big plans since I am working most of the week, but it will be nice to have a week off from the typical schedule.  Happy almost Spring!
