Tearing out the old kitchen floor, Sierra was working so hard she started to sweat and she said oh gross I am going to have to take a shower. Poor girl never worked so hard in her life guess we will have to see what we can do about that in the future.

Kitchen Here is the low down and what we have been working our bums off for during the last month and a half or so. We decided in January that when Steve graduates with his masters degree in May we want to move to Arizona. The weather is warmer there we are aware and are very excited to partake in the warmth. We have repainted nearly the whole house and decluttered and had the wood floors that were under the carpet and linoleum redone in the kitchen, hall, and living room. Everything looks great. We are finally ready to put the house on the market. We know this might sound kind of crazy with the economy as it is but we think this is what the Lord wants us to do so we are putting our trust in him and putting the for sale sign in our yard this week and will be fervently praying for a nice family to buy our house and for a wonderful job opportunity to come our way. For any of you who have been in our house we moved the master bedroom downstairs and the kids room we changed and we made their room the office/guest room when our family is here Sierra's room is the same but we have cleaned out the playroom and it just has our freezer in it now. So if anyone know anybody looking for a house send them our way.

YEAH!!!!!!!! It is working! I have tried and tried to comment on everything, well, maybe not everything! But I do keep up on your blog.
HOLY COW!!!!! You guys have been busy! The floors look amazing. I remember when my grandma did that and she thought to herself, "Why did I wait all these years?" Good Luck with the move. Shawn is from Arizona, what part are you guys thinking of? It is hot, but a good hot!
First of all, your floors look great! Are you so sad to leave them now? Now, out of curiosity, how much are you asking for your house?
The floors look great. The whole house looks great. Good Job. Hopefully it sells fast.
Wow you guys have been busy. I was so sad that we waited so long to have the floors in our house redone. Only one month for us to enjoy them. Hopefully it will be the same for you as well. What did you end up doing with the kids' wall? Everything looks great. Now are you seriously worn out or what? Take a nap...you deserve it.
So I ran into Martha before she left for Boston and got the whole skinny on you guys moving to AZ - that's so great for you because I know how much you guys like it there! She mentioned that you were re-doing the floors - and they look awesome! Now, before you offically move down there, we have to get together one more time! Because after that, it's gonna end up being just Christmas cards!
PS - who are we gonna carve pumpkins with???
Awesome! Way to go you guys. :) I love the wood floors - they look so pretty! Did Eric do them??? I hope everything works out just perfect. :)
i love before and after pictures! wow,things look great! Good luck with selling!
Your house looks great. I love the wood floors. It really opens the rooms up. It will work out. Just like you said if you feel this is what you are to do the Lord will take care of the rest. I miss you guys and I miss book group too. Say hi to everyone.
