Chicago

Well I returned from Chicago last night, I left on Sunday with Tammy, Janice and Kerri for market. I was unsure if I wanted to go but all in all I was glad I went, it was a nice little break from home and all the chaos, but I was SO ready to come home!!
When we left on Sunday the weather was rather crappy from home to DBQ. but after that it was tolerable, so Tammy kept on goin'. I was with the girls until Monday afternoon then Jer came into Chicago to get me and we spent the night in Shaumburg, so yes it still was a Jer/Lis Chicago trip... that made me happy!!! Thank you Jer for coming to get me!!!! It was a great little get away from the boys and home.

I enjoy my life, I don't appreciate it enough thou! I have the greatest husband and 3 wonderful boys whom I adore!! I have a great family that surrounds me as well as a wonderful group of friends!!! I don't tell any of those special people in my life how much they mean to me enough, but I sure hope they all know!!!!

I truely have to admit, this little trip was harder than the last, leaving home and the boys my life is tough on me!!! I got homesick!!! and I could not wait for Jer to come into Chicago. Maybe I am too much of a 'homebody' now... not sure but I really missed the kids and Jer alot this time and it was great to be home again last night.

Well whats new on the home front? Well the brick continues to progress in the basement, we put an 'arch' doorway in and it looks great! They hope to finish it up by the end of the week... YEAH!!!! less mess, and let me tell you it was messy!!!!
Well its sure is great to have Dustin back in the action here!!! He is doing an incredible job with the trim and all the little finishing touches! I was completely stunned when we got home last night, he had the mud room all trimmed out, it looks so GOOD!!!!! I absolutely L.O.V.E. it!!!!!!!!!! He took a peice of "old molding" I had and templated it and made new headers and WOW just looks awesome!! Today he tackled the lockers we had at the bank building and took them out and started constructing them back into place here, they will go in our mudroom. I can't wait to have that done, looks so COOL!!

Every little detail of this house and the vision we have for it is finally coming to life, it feels so good!!! It was worth all the headache and hassel now that I see it in front of me, but I will not lie... its been hell getting to this point but surely worth the wait!

So today my day consisted of picking up the peices of what I left behind on Sunday... I think I did 5 loads of laundry... and have most of it put away but still some awaits for me to finish up tomorrow. I got a bad headache again... it was weird too... like a sharp pain in the back of my head :( so that took me down this afternoon... and needless to say didn't get much done.

Life is great, enjoy it!!!! Abby I am so glad to see you bloggin'!!!! Welcome!!!!!

Until I blog again, did you go out to sled ride yet???
