Progress! Finally, some progress!

Cody and I closed on our house on June 10th. I started painting the living room right away and then moved onto the kitchen. I put up blue painting tape all over the kitchen sometime around June 15th. And then stopped. Cody's parents were gracious enough to come help us paint the first of July and totally painted our upstairs spare room since it was a more immediate concern. Cody and I had high hopes of finishing up the rest of the house shortly thereafter. But then there was summer and bike rides and float trips and general outdoor/summer fun. So time passed and passed and before we knew it fall was upon us, then Christmas and now the New Year. All this time the blue tape adorned our kitchen - like when you fall asleep with a face mask on - for 7 months! So since we got back from Tally, I've been on a mission - finish the kitchen and get that ugly blue tape off our walls! Well, last night around 11pm, we pulled off the last of the blue tape in the kitchen!! It's finally painted!!! I still have to put on one or two socket covers and paint the trim and picture indow sills, but the walls are at least done and we have no more blue tape - we've made progress!!! This is big for us. Now it's on to finishing trim and moving on to the dining room. But for right now we're basking in our progress. . .
