This has been such a long week! We have had Revival service at church each night since Monday and it has been great! I am certainly very worn out though!
Since we haven't been home before 10:00pm this week, it has been difficult to do anything productive in the house. :(
H and I are attending the Great Cloth Diaper Change tomorrow in Tulsa and then we are going to one of my younger brother's birthday parties. So, there won't be much happening in the house this weekend, either!
A great friend of mine is letting me borrow her laptop for a week or so while I catch up on my math class that I am terribly behind in, so hopefully I will also be able to upload the before/after pictures of the house project from last weekend!
Have a great weekend!

{Operation Old-lady-wallpaper Removal:Complete}
Whoa.
like.whoa.
That was some intense wallpaper, people. It erred on the side of ridiculous-ness. I am so thankful for all the help we had and will do a long post about it soon(ish)...but for now, just know that I am alive, there is no wallpaper left to be spoken of, and we stayed our first night in the house last night.
Thank you, Jesus!
:-D

{Friday!} kind of.
Today is my friday! I am taking a couple vacation days to start Operation Old-lady-wallpaper- Removal + new paint!
As of a few signatures after 9:00 am CST tomorrow, we will no longer be homeless! And we will have a 'big kid' mortgage payment. (that last sentence is less exciting)
I am so thankful for my parents, who have let us stay with them the last two weeks (free rent & yummy food!) I am also very thankful for Q's parents who help us with H so often.
<random> I have gone back and forth on whether I should share 'life stuff' here, or start another blog for that. But, let's be honest, I am going to have a hard enough time committing to this one, much less another one! So, I thought I would share some pictures from Easter this past weekend, because I am one proud wife, mama, sister, daughter, etc. What do you think? If you read this do you want to see 'life stuff' here, too? I guess technically I am talking to myself but that isn't anything new! <end random>

A miracle. We are all smiling!
He sure is handsome. Love him.

{Inspiration}
I am getting so anxious to start on the house, so I thought I would go ahead and share my (current) inspiration with you!
Thanks to the lovely Pinterest, I found this amazing blog. The foyer in her Florida home was what I saw first and then, my-oh-my... it just keeps getting better!! The living room, THE KITCHEN!!! I kind of had house-envy. And then, I thought "no, Haley, envying is not nice." So, I let it inspire me!
The color on the living room walls will most likely be the color throughout the house (for now).
So, basically, white, and gray, and then pops of color. Grass green, deep turquoise, etc...
This girl is way excited!

{Closing Week}
Well, hello there, non-existent blog reader(s).
I am starting this precious work of art (in progress) to document our family's journey in making our new house our home. I have many great plans, lots of DIY projects, and even more sewing ideas to drive you crazy with!
Are you wondering who I am yet? I am Haley. I am married to 'Q'. Our little ball of amazingness will be endearingly referred to as 'H'. side note: H is a girl and is approximately a year and a half old and is also near perfect. (except for when she acts like a 1 1/2 year old)
ANYWAY! We close first thing Thursday (the 12th) and the old-lady-wallpaper-removal project will begin. Pictures will be added at some point. Paint will follow and then moving in will follow that! We are hoping to be sleeping there by Saturday night (EEK!)
