It's been a week, but some important things were done.  First off, Kyle laid the tile in our upstairs bathroom.  He did a great job!  I really love the floor!! 

Our new washer and dryer were also delivered on Friday.  Can't wait to do some laundry in those beautiful machines!  (I probably won't be saying that for too long, I'm sure.)

Late Friday night, Jay decided to do some painting. Around 10:30 Friday night, we carried up the vanity and placed it in the laundry area. Jay stayed up until about 3:00 that morning to finish painting and then he moved the vanity into its spot Saturday morning. 

We have such a great plumber (Chris Freund), who came in on a Saturday morning just so we could have a toilet for Carter's birthday party. This was a very important moment right here!  It's been almost three months since we've had a toilet in this house.  This is the first time a bathroom has been upstairs in this home.  What a joy!!

Carlee was the first one to use the toilet.  I promise I wouldn't have taken a picture of Jay if he would've been the first.  :-/

This is Jay painting the laundry room, which is adjoined to the new bathroom.  

Saturday we received a lot of compliments on the project, but I think what everyone liked the most were the windows in the upstairs hallway.  Everyone loved them and so do we.  :-)  It sure brightens the whole area.  It evens brings light down stairs.
Saturday night was the first night we stayed in the house for good.....no more going back to the camper!  Hallelujah!!

We finally picked out the vanity light for the upstairs bathroom and wall sconces for the hallway on Sunday. Things are starting to all come together at the end quickly now.  A lot of painting to do yet, refinishing of the hardwood floors will be another big job and a little more electric and plumbing work.  We're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
