Easter & Reading

There has been so much going on lately that I haven’t had a chance to post. We had some of our families here for Easter so we worked to get the guest bathroom done (well, started anyway). We finally got the ceiling and walls painted, and we started staining the cabinets, which look great (David is putting on the clear coat as I speak). Anyway, it was my folks and sister and David’s brother. We had a great time, although there were a few tiny fights with my fam (as there always are). I think it was just a lot of people under one roof, which is basically a construction site making it nearly impossible to keep clean; and with the rest of the family in town there was a lot of chaos as to what was happening when and where and how. Even deciding on where to eat for dinner was a difficult task. And even though it was a short trip with a few stressful blips, I was sad to see everyone go.

And this week I finally finished Marley & Me by John Grogan… AND we rented the movie. Both were fantastic, although the book is ALWAYS better (you were totally right Tracy!). I laughed through most of it and bawled when the time came… and I really mean bawled! I could totally relate to everything in the book with our little Smoochy Pooch. David and I have both been giving him a little extra attention since we watched it. I thought John Grogan was a FANTASTIC writer and the story was great too. I would definitely recommend it!
