House Renovation

Wow-it's been awhile since I've last posted. Life has been very crazy the past week! This is a long post, so sorry for that!

Monday was my 30th birthday. We celebrated on Saturday night at Lowertown Music Fest, where we saw Cloud Cult AND Mason Jennings play at an outdoor venue. Cloud Cult and Mason are my absolute FAVORITE bands, so I was SUPER happy! We took the city bus (my first time) with the Steffen's and Jones', so that was fun. Bishop was with Grandpa and Grandma B, so we stayed at the Steffen's, which was fun too! Bishop stayed with his grandparents because we were in Owatonna helping MY grandparents move into an assisted living apartment. On my actual birthday Shelly took me out to lunch and Luke and Bishop took me to Al Vento for dinner, so that was nice. We temporarily moved into our friends parents condo in downtown Mpls, while they sheetrock our house.

It's been a very stressful week transitioning to the condo and we've done a lot of running back and forth. Thursday night Luke was on the road for work and Bishop and I got to the condo to find out it had sustained water damage during the day and there were industrial fans and devices to remove water from the air in the condo....it was too much to stay at the condo, so we stayed at Auntie Shelly and Uncle Ryan's (which was a nice treat)! Things have settled down and we're able to stay at the condo again.

Today was the Bishop Open in Eagan. The golfers included Grandpa Ray, Barry, Bob, Jon, Shelly, Ryan, Luke, LeeAnn and Patrick. Bishop, myself, Sharon, Jennie and Darlene joined the golfers for lunch. It was a great day!!

Our house looks great and it's so fun to see the progress they've made. The sheetrock is on and they will sand next week and put the stucco on the outside. I did some "shopping" this past week for light fixtures, faucets, toilets, etc, so that was fun. It will all be worth it in the end and they should be done in 5 weeks!!
