Moving!

It has been a while since I have written. Since my last post, we have closed on our house, moved a few things in, and are getting ready to make the final move to the new house! We initially planned on tearing up the linoleum in the kitchen and staining the concrete ourselves, but it proved to be too tedious of a task for just us to do. We decided to hire a contractor to tear up the linoleum and do an acid stain. The first contractor I contacted seemed like a nice guy who would be able to do what we wanted, within our budget, and on time. This was definitely not the case. When I contacted him, he said he could start in about 2 weeks. 2 weeks later, he said he could start in about 2 weeks... You see why we changed contractors?! I ended up calling the guy who did my parents' remodel and we started the kitchen remodel last Thursday. When the linoleum was torn up, we found out that staining the concrete wasn't going to be the best option for us. We decided that tile would be better and would last longer. I found some awesome tile at Lowe's that looks kind of like stained concrete! Here is a picture from yesterday: 
We are just waiting to have the tile grouted and then we can finish moving everything! I am so happy that we are going to finally be in OUR home!
