You

You,sometimes I am so overwhelmed by the love,patience and hard work that you put into our relationship that I actually question if I deserve it. You make me strive to want to be a better partner for you on a daily basis. Even when you aren't with me,you make me feel safe when I am haunted of relationships past,a comfort in knowing I will always be loved this much. That in itself is a gift every man should give but can never purchase. I hope I give you that in return,the love you deserve,the 100% and more and the comfort of knowing you will always be loved by me.

I love you.

Living Room Remodel Part 5

Back to square one,except this time with smooth ceilings, just slightly imperfect here and there to maintain it's old house charm ;) Oh and that blotch of paint on the wall "Gizmo" is a keeper. The color swatch we had originally agreed on looked to be a brownish gray neutral but in the can and on the wall it is lavender! I painted samples on every wall in the room and waiting to see what Vern and Del would say. Vern (being the highly evolved and intelligent man he is) took the safe route and the first thing he said was "Do you like it?" and his next comment after I bobbed my head was "It looks purple?" I agreed.  We decided to keep our giggles to ourselves and waited to hear Del's opinion."What do you think of the gray?" we asked. "I like it,in fact,I wish I would've painted my bedroom this color!" It was all we could do not to crack up right in front of him as we maintained eye contact and nonchalantly agreed.LOL! ( I remind you all that this legally blind man is surprisingly picky about the color of the walls and still grumbles about the kitchen color I chose 2 years ago) As the days go by it really has grown on me,I'd lie if I said I'm not slightly worried it's a little dark but I think I will honestly love it in the long run.Paint color is one of the few areas of my life that I like a little drama! Again,I apologize that my blog app only publishes one photo at a time (and it is the only way I know how to get photos off my phone and on to my laptop besides using Facebook and sharing with everyone there.) Next phase is dedusting and wiping down the living room one. more. time. and then I get to start painting...finally painting! I'll keep you posted :)

The beautiful cove ceilings survived...just a little patching to do.

The aftermath,all that ceiling...on the floor. Finally.

Disaster strikes. Who knew that a thick wet coat of paint would make that old popcorn ceiling just starting falling right off?! I returned from a trip to the hardware store with a few more gallons of ceiling paint to see this....my ceiling...hanging from my ceiling,peeling off and dropping to the floor. Whattamess!!!! So we changed gears and Vern set to work scraping all of it off. The part we had painted was the worst,thankful we had taped and covered the floors before we started! The other 3/4 of the room I misted with water and Vern continued to scrape. He is such a saint!

"I don't understand WHY you insist me paint the ceiling,its not THAT bad!" Says Vern as we apply the first coat of fresh paint..ha ha Also seen here...a sample of the paint on the lower wall...I think I like it!
