I haven't forgotten that I have a blog but I haven't had much time to post on it either! Not only are we trying to work on the house but we are back into full swing of activities and seeing friends. Last week Matt battled a cold all week while he studied for his finals (he has his last two tomorrow and then he is done with spring semester!). Like a good wife I took good care of him and then got the cold myself. It was especially great because it hit me on my weekend. Before I started feeling bad on Friday night, we made spaghetti with homemade meatballs - YUM. It was my first time making meatballs and it was really fun! Definitely will make that again. Saturday morning we went to Matt's parents house around 8:30 for breakfast and I drank a Theraflu before we left. I was out of it all morning and finally realized I drank the nighttime Theraflu by accident. Made for a nice afternoon nap though :)
Saturday night we went to a dinner for the young adults at our church. It was fun to see everyone outside of church! We saw most of them again on Sunday night at Bible study and found out that Peter and Angel are pregnant! I'm betting it's a girl ;) For Mother's Day we went out to lunch with Matt's parents and gave his mom a bottle of homemade vanilla extract. Amelia told me about this recipe that I have been dying to try. All it is is vodka and vanilla beans. I made a cute bottle out of a beer bottle and a wine stopper. The vanilla extract has to 'mature' for 6 months and is then ready for use. It is supposed to be better than the stuff you buy so we'll see in 6 months! For my mom, I mailed her two loaves of my famous sourdough bread.. actually Matt's grandmother Mimi's famous bread but everyone around here just refers to it as Julie bread.
And finally, more house pictures.

Our medicine cabinets are finally installed!
But we had to cut through our bedroom walls to get them in. Apparently it's easier to re-drywall than that get a stud out of our bathroom.
Our bedroom is finally clean! I hope we can keep it that way.
Any ideas for what to put above/behind the dresser?
And I have been painting some of the guest room furniture. Can't wait to get that all together!
