Fresh House Paint

This past Saturday we finally got around to painting our house. Everyone knows how much I love 'before and after' pictures, so here's the 'before'.

I have the most amazing family. Every single one of my brothers and sisters were there to help with the project and it made it go much faster. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I love you guys more than you know. And my wonderful brother-in-law Scott is absolutely incredible. Towards the beginning the day, he actually fell off of the roof!  Luckily the hedge (along with my gutter) broke his fall.

I LOVE my red doors! :) Other crew members that I wasn't able to get pictures of included brother Dave and Lindsey. And a HUGE special THANKS to my mom who watched all the kids so we could get it done. I love you!!

Thank you everyone for sacrificing your Saturday and helping us paint on a disgustingly HOT day when you could have been relaxing in some nice A/C. You all mean the world to us.

Jesse, let us know when you paint your house so we can return the favor!! :)
