Happy Thanksgiving! Over the last week, Tyler and I have painted our downstairs bedroom, hung pictures, and organized the downstairs’ bedroom closet. We have also painted our living room and dining room, started to reupholster our dining room chairs, decorated for Christmas, and gotten our brand new beautiful rug! During all of this, we also ate three Thanksgiving meals, celebrated Family Christmas day with my dad’s side of the family, saw a great family movie – which I am sure you can guess what it is, but I am going to do a blog on it, so I will save all of my thoughts and feelings and love for the movie for that blog! Can you believe we have done all of this in a matter of a couple of days!? Me either!! So here are the pictures to prove it!

First, we moved everything from one room to the other room.
