The Remodeling Journals: Birthday Parties, Weddings, and Churches

Katie and Matt Blog

This week end we did… once again… nothing on our house. It was a weekend of Birthday parties and a wedding. The wedding was at a really cool church that was well designed. Instead of stained glass, it has clear windows that you could see the scenery out of. But all the events were fun. Maybe next weekend we’ll get work done 🙂

Well, we actually moved into the kitchen today – half of our stuff was sitting in another room. Actually, there is still stuff sitting in boxes in the back room. I guess we will get to that, soon. We saw “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” yesterday. There’s a woman in that league – makes the name kind of sexist…. Good movie, though.

Random Randomness

You, know, I had a really cool thought yesterday, but I forgot it. Oh, well…. So, no cool thoughts today, or updates on the house. Or, updates on us really. Just seeing how long you will keep reading this before you realize that I am just wasting time – mostly yours 🙂 Because I could just go on and on about the Baylor controversy or war in Iraq or the most recent conspiracy theory that I heard that was obviously false, or …..
