What another great and busy weekend. We rested on Friday night, and Saturday we started working. Mike finished patching up the hole in our master bedroom! The hole was caused by the previous owner falling through when he was checking a leak. :-) The leak has been long fixed, but the poorly patched hole remains. To cut down greatly on the dust, Mike got a genius idea of taping off the area with some old plastic sheets. It made a HUGE difference. We still need to texture it to match the rest of the ceiling and that is the hard part so we might need to call in some expertise help.
After we finished the ceiling we went and moved Christina's Uncle Steve Conrad into a new apartment. We've been looking to buy a treadmill with the $300 that Mike's work gives their employees for fitness equipment, and it worked out just right where Steve had one to give us for FREE!!! It was so sweet of him to offer and it was just what we were looking for. Carter totally loves walking on it.
Since we still had $300 to spend and since Sports Authority was giving
$100 gift card for every $300 spent through Saturday we went and bought an eliptical that same night! It cost $400 so it was kind of like free as well with the gift card. It took awhile to put together since there were a million parts, but we love it and look forward to getting in shape this year. :-) We'll have to go back to Sports Authority tomorrow to spend our $100 since it has to be spent by Friday, but we're hoping to get some new shoes for each of us. Now all we need is a big screen in our room to make the workout area complete. :-) Eventually we'll move the equipment downstairs, but for now it'll just stay in our room to help motivate us more...at least that's the idea.
