The updating continues...


Why when you make one change to your house...it turns into a set of projects? We bought new bedroom furniture which lead to a new light, new lamps, new switches and outlets, curtains...I think a new bedding set is in there somewhere too... We put the tile in the kitchen and now we are painting, added a new garbage can (it's sweet...opens and closes by a sensor...$5o at Costco if your interested), updating the trim, kitchen sink, faucet, drapes...and...at this point I would just like my stove back in the kitchen. The wall in the kitchen currently looks like a piece of modern art while we decide what colors to go with...hum, maybe I should name it...any suggestions?

Time for an update...


Thanks to Sharah's prompting :) ...I decided to finally write an update on the Carroll household. Things are going really well. Both Terra an I are finishing up Winter quarter and looking forward to spring break. It's only a week but you have to have something to look forward to. I'm starting my last quarter at Eastern which reminds me to mention that we are going to throw one heck of a party in our backyard on June 13th (Saturday). Food to be provided (the famous BBQ boneless country style ribs), we will have a keg (Bud Light...sorry for the Coors drinkers), and some sort of a dance floor. We are inviting all of Terra's family and mine (including all our friends) so all of you need to mark your calendars to come to Spokane. It should be some good people watching!! Depending on how many people we get as a RSVP, we might reserve a block of rooms at the hotel across the street so no one has to drive if they have too much fun. Our backyard will be available for tents and we will have limited room in the house. Other than beer, it's a BYOB. Children are welcome. I think we are going to make the downstairs a kid friendly area for movies, snacks, games...etc. Terra has rented tables and chairs to accomidate a large group. Let us know if you can make it...we look forward to seeing everyone!

We had new tile installed in the kitchen this week and are now deciding on what color to paint before the appliances head back in. So, we are living with the fridge, table, and stove in the living room as of yet....and have had way too much fast food to eat. Flooring is something I don't want to screw up and pay to have fixed so we hired someone. When the wood floors are refinished, I think we will hire someone then too.

The boys are getting huge. Grant's been fighting some kind of stomach bug which has made it interesting around here for a few days. He was fine for a day or so...so Terra and I headed to Ephrata for a crab feed while Aunt Cathy and Uncle Tom watched the boys. And of course, Grant got sick while we were gone...we felt terrible but we thought he was better. She truly is a saint.

That's about it for now...I do have one question: Do any of you have satellite television, if so, which service should we go with?

Hope to see all of you in June!
