Painting Party!

It is that time...we are going to be asking for a favor! This weekend (1/9-1/10) we will be priming and painting the WHOLE interior of the house. If anyone enjoys painting and would like to help, please let us know...leave a comment. We will be there most of the weekend. So just stop by if you want:) We will feed you and take your picture for the blog...HA! We will have beverages, food/snacks, a warm home, and LOTS of fun!!!! Please let me know if you are interested. This is the only weekend Joe has both days off in January, so we decided to go for it. Many of you have mentioned wanting to help...and now you can. Thanks again for checking in on us. We can't wait to have you all over to our new house someday VERY soon.
