Renovations and More

Brock and I have started some minor renovations to or townhouse. It’s a lot of work and so far we’ve only replaced a piece of weather stripping on the patio door, covered the fireplace mantel with sticky laminate (long story), painted a small bedroom, and painted half of the kitchen. I can’t imagine taking on a big project like new flooring, but it is well worth the effort. Even though we’ve only painted one coat on the kitchen walls it already looks ten times better than it did before the new paint. An interning med student is coming to stay with us next week, so hopefully we can have the renovation debris cleaned up before then.

Last night we booked a trip to Las Vegas. We both took a week off at the end of November and decided it would be cheaper and maybe more entertaining to go to Vegas instead of Mexico at that time of the year. It will cost $700 for seven days, flight and hotel. We are staying at the Monte Carlo. It’s only a 3.5 star hotel, but it got the best ratings.

This weekend should be a fun one. I’ve got a couple Birthday parties to attend and a house warming. Hopefully it’s nice out!
