I can hardly contain my excitement. I was going to wait until Friday to post about this...but i just can't. If you have been a loyal reader of this blog then you know how long i have been waiting for this. You know how much i want this. After living here for almost two years and going through a few different stages of incomplete (oh i am so excited) we are FINALLY getting a new floor! YES!! You heard me (excuse me as i do a little happy dance). So yeah...buh bye Brady Bunch peel and stick linoleum that is coming up all over my kitchen, i will not miss you! and buh bye bare concrete slab in my hallway...you will not be missed either!! and HELLOOOOOOO beautiful tile floor. i cannot wait to post pics...
My in laws were here this weekend and made a few miracles happen...scheduling the floor to be done was the biggest, replacing my kitchen sink faucet that constantly drips was another. They own this house we are so blessed to be living in (and renting dirt cheap). If it were not for them we would not be able to live in this area making big things happen for Jordan's life ( i can only imagine if we had never taken the leap of faith and moved here what her life would be like). It has been such a huge blessing, i don't share that enough, i truly am grateful. I feel bad about always complaining about the floor being so ugly. I feel bad that i have allowed said floor to keep me from inviting people into my home. I love to entertain. We have a HUGE pool and lots of fun stuff here at our house and i am ashamed to say that i have not been the hostess i have always been in my previous life, because of the floor. It is stupid. AND the really nutty thing is that as soon as i decided NOT to let it keeping me from living my life (lame i know) plans were made for the new floor to be put in. CRAZY how that happens right? SO AWESOME!
So they are coming to lay the GORGEOUS tile on Wed...by Friday it will be all done and we will be able to walk on it. I am not even freaked about not being able to use my kitchen...Taco Bell and $5 Caesar's Pizza here we come (i know you have missed us, it has been so long)!!
I actually went to bed at 9pm...it is 1am and i am wide awake. Again. OH how i wish i could make friends with sleep...that would be awesome! One miracle at a time!

How awesome for you! You have no idea how much I totally understand . . . the house we moved in to had the worst floors ever! ESPECIALLY the kitchen. When we'd finally saved up enough money to redo the entire kitchen (youza!) the first thing we picked out was a new floor and then did everything else to match it - we chose australian cypress hardwood (but kind of a soft wood). Anyhoo - we LOVE LOVE LOVE our new kitchen and especially the floor. We found 3 layers of linoleum underneath the Armstrong flooring when we pulled it up. What were those people THINKING?! We were without a kitchen for 6 weeks - totally gutted it and moved walls . . . being without a kitchen really isn't bad if you can plan for it :-)
So I REALLY am excited for you :-) I hope you love love love your new floor!
Yeah!!!! Miracles happen! I'm so happy for you!
It's so fun to get something new! I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.
I'm so excited to see some pictures. That is so fun to get a new floor.
And we like Del Taco better than Taco Bell. Give it a chance. You can't beat $0.59 taco.
I am sooooo excited for you. I know how you feel. My house is not what I want but it is a step toward the house my husband and I are saving money to build. I too stear clear from inviting people over. Many people don't even know where I live. It's not just you who has those feelings. I'm just glad you get your wish sooner rather than later. Congrats and soak in all the new tile goodness!
You'll love it. Anything new is so exciting. We'll be waiting for pictures.
How awesome for you! I can't wait to see the pictures! YEAH!!!! I am doing a happy dance with you!
Yay for a new floor!!! I'm so excited for you! What perfect timing. . . right in time for Mother's Day! Yippeee!! :) I can't wait to see pictures :)
Hooray for the new floor! You sound like you are in heaven :) !!
I am so excited for you. I can’t wait to see your new floors. I know they are going to be gorgeous.
Oh, I totally get the not wanting to hostess, even when you are the one with the mostest.
But yay on getting a new floor!
When can I come over?
I am almost as excited as you are for your new floor I think! I too am waiting for new flooring, we currently have plywood. fun!
Can't wait to see photos!
Okay -- go back and re-read your first four sentences. I was TOTALLY thinking you were going to tell me something else (and I was getting SUPER excited). Don't get me wrong -- this news is exciting too...but I'm still praying that the next time you have big news, that it will be 'it.'...if you know what I mean.
I am very excited for you!!! Can't wait to see the pics..
How exciting!!!! You must post pictures!!
Oh, and I know I am behind but I love the new layout and the new name!! Fantabulous!!
Woohoo!!! How exciting! I can't wait to see the pictures. :-)
New blog, new floor what's next?! I'm happy for you! Can't wait to see pics.
HOw exciting! I can't wait to see the pictures. I have not liked the floors in any of my kitchens although the my current kitchen is the best by far.
Congrats on the new flooring! Can't wait to see the gorgeous tile!!!
Yeah I am so happy for you. I'm sure you are busy right now with all this going on. Isn't that how it is. When I finally made peace with the desert in Tucson, AZ which I had loathed for 3 years, I moved. Hmm.
How wonderful and exciting for you, my friend! You deserve the new floors. I can't WaIT to see pics!
