Ready for another weekend of work!

Well, the weekend is almost here.  For most people, that means time to relax and enjoy this beautiful weather we are having.  For us, it means that it's time to start work on the house again, which is in no way relaxing.  However, it is VERY exicting and definitely worth it.  Last weekend we got so much done and I look forward to seeing everything we accomplish this weekend. 
Although the majority of our work is done on the weekends, we have still been able to get some things done during the week.  Kenny and I can in no way take credit for any of it.  We owe mom, dad, and Mary Messer a HUGE thank you for all they have done while we have been at work or at our other house.  Dad has been working on the pool more (getting it brushed and backwashed daily) as well as mounting and wiring the recessed lighting in our kitchen.  I am so excited about the lights being up and can't wait to see them with the ceiling!  Mom and Mary have been working hard in the yard.  They have moved almost all of the rocks to one pile in the corner of our lot so that Mary's sister can come and remove them by the truck load.  They have also continued to pull weeds, cut down bushes, trees, etc.  It is really looking good!  Dad rode up on his riding lawn mower on Wednesday night and mowed the front yard for us.  I heard he looked pretty funny riding up Samantha Drive on the mower...but boy are we grateful!  Our yard looks so much better!  On top of the yard work, mom has also been cleaning up behind dad as he goes along.  She has also started taping off the bedroom downstairs so we can start painting the trim this weekend.
As far as our game plan for this weekend, I believe mom and I are going to try to get trim and doors painted in a few of the bedrooms and maybe just maybe I'll get to move some furniture into them before Monday.  Dad and Kenny are planning on getting the coffered ceiling done in the den and I believe they will be replacing the den windows (the angled ones) and possibly taking out the ones in our master bath so we can close in the walls for my cabinets going there.
This weekend we are really excited to have our friend Branson coming out to see the house.  He has been working in Maryland for the past few weeks and hasn't gotten to see the house yet.  We aren't too sure he'll be much help other than to drink our beer, but we are still excited to have him coming out. :-)  The Anderson family is supposed to be coming by as well to check out the new place, we are really excited about showing them the house in person finally!!!! We are also excited that Ronny and Treva are going to come back out and help again this weekend.  We are truly blessed to have such amazing parents.
I guess that's pretty much it for now.  I'll leave you all with a few updated pictures of the front of the house (with the yard mowed, rocks removed and the bushes trimmed more) and also of the kitchen with the recessed lighting up!  Everyone have a wonderful Easter weekend!
