A Grell Tale

We are so glad you have taken time to check in on our lives. First and foremost, God is the author of this story. Every thing we do, say, and have is His.
Jared and I have been together since 1998, and married since 2003. After four long years of trusting God, he blessed us on August 1, 2009. Balen James is the most "perfect-for-us" little man in the world! We LOVE being parents and just can't get enough of him.
I love to spend time sharing our story with you, and I truly enjoy getting to hear your comments as well! We hope you enjoy watching our family grow. Thanks for stopping by.

Remodeling Upstairs can be "hail"!!

That was by far my lamest attempt yet at coming up with a creative title! Sorry about that. I just wanted to include my hail picture from our storm last night. It was huge and loud and all I could do was whine about my pretty plants. They survived okay. I think we will all make it! :)

Back to the remodeling, what started out as a one room update quickly turned into a four room update! In the past week we have have pulled carpet, stripped wallpaper, textured and painted one ceiling and three bedrooms! It has been mighty busy around here. We were rushing because OLD Mr. Floor Man is starting tomorrow. I wanted to have as much of the mess out of the way as possible. It is cheaper to have him redo our hardwood than installing carpet. I can't wait to see it all finished.
The first picture is where we are on Balen's room. It is actually a little greener than the picture shows. The bottom is going to be dark brown bead board. New windows for his room should be ready in the next week or two.
This is me working on pulling out staples. I am 31 weeks pregnant even though this picture would lead you to think other wise. This is the color of all the other bedrooms. We no longer have ANY carpet from the 70's and it already feels so much cleaner and smells so much better. I would like to make note of who is working here and who is taking the pictures!! Just kidding Jared!
