Praying for Peace (and sanity)

'I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.'

John 16:33

Today, much like other days that I post, I searched for a verse that would be relevant to what it is what I want to say. Some days, I flip open my Bible to a random page and there's a verse relating to exactly what I'm thinking. Other days, like today, I had to think about what it was I need for the coming week. This week, I need peace (and sanity) because Charlie and I are going to start putting down our new hardwood floors. I you didn't catch my last post, we drove to Murphy, North Carolina to get an amazing deals for our little house. 

I don't want to give away too many details, but they are going to look amazing. Of course, I'll share with you!

And after the floors are in and we have somewhat of a real house, we'll be starting the bathroom renovation. This is what I am really looking forward too. Charlie and I will be doing the work ourselves and have already started by gutting from top to bottom. Remember the way that nasty bathroom looked before in my 'house tour' post?

The pictures are super dark, but I'm not sorry, because so was that bathroom. Eek! Old builder grade tile that was yellowed with age, a noisy sliding shower door (which I especially hate), the biggest tub ever and the tiniest, most awkward vanity of all time. The vanity was wedged between a half wall and the bathroom door. The layout was horrible. You'd never know that it was actually a decent sized room. 

But, behold!

Hard to believe that I'm excited about that mess! I feel like we'll be living in an actual adult house before we know it. A friend stopped by the house last weekend and I am ashamed to say there was a toilet and a bathroom sink in the yard, waiting to the trip to it's eternal home, the dump.
