Paint quest

I think the paint quest deserves its own blog. When I was newly married my husbands opinion of paint colors was very important to me. It soon got to be a big frustration. Ben thinks that the world should be painted in white. I believe that if your going to paint, paint in color! So after years of having the " do you like this color argument" I finally decided to just get what I like, and if he " hell No's it" well then that one is out. We are repainted and redoing most of the house. And I have chosen all the colors. No hell No's yet. My front room is now a brownish pink on one wall, with a bisque color on the rest of the walls and trimmed in a coffee brown. It looks great. The kitchen will be green trimmed in coffee brown, my bathroom gray and purple, my bedroom, purple with a light purple, etc. Not one of these colors are white. All of these colors have names of course, and I will post before and after pictures soon!

60 lbs and counting

 

Yes, you have heard me correctly! I have lost 60 lbs! Only ten more to go and I will have lost my year goal.
34 more total and I will have lost my total goal. I really need to work on my abs and arms but that's coming.

We had the pleasure of having Brandi and her two kids up here. It was nice to have another adult here to talk to and her kids , well Jade, entertained mine for the last three weeks. Brady and Ciabo were in a best friends/ worst enemies situation. They either played or they fought, and they really egged each other on. We dropped them off to Logan today so that Brandi could get her rental car and drive down to St George. My three and I were all pouting when they left. They were so much fun to have around and we didn't want to have to share them. I did a little retail therapy and bought the second and third Harry Potter movies in blue ray. It helped a little and I was going to get them anyways.

After we got home I decided to paint my bathroom. No this wasn't a wild hair idea, I had actually planned to do this before, even bought the paint already. My bathroom was blue and white. My husband runs a salvage yard. White isn't a good color to have in my house even if you don't add in the children factor. The new colors will be purple and gray. I just painted the trim and will have to go over it again but bring it on. It kept me from pouting for a while.
