As promised, I will continue to post pictures of progress. Honestly, though, this week C.J. and I have kind of hit a wall and are really sick of working on the condo. We are feeling bad about continuing to try to call on friends in the area to help us, but are completely overwhelmed by trying to finish everything that needs to be done by our target move-in date of Dec. 20. There is seriously, still, SO MUCH left. We've been spending nights after work there and are pretty much exhausted. I (Keri) am also tired of how inward focused this makes us for this season of life and am wanting to be able to think about and help others for a while. If you could pray for perserverance, dilligence, and people who know how to do things in the condo that we don't to come around us, we would appreciate it. Sorry to be Debbie-downer. I know it's only a season and that this condo is an incredible blessing. We just aren't enjoying the rehab currently as much as we'd like to. Anyone who knows me well will also know that after a long day today and starring down working a Saturday tomorrow, I could feel much better by Sunday. But for now, please pray for sleep that isn't interuppted by dreams of painting 13 ft. walls and some peace. We're taking nights off and just hanging out, but that gets frustrating too because you don't see progress as quickly. Anyways, the pictures below are after Keri's friends Gina (and her husband Mike) and Jackie came over one Wed. night to help paint. That night saw the onset of color on our walls! Yay! Last Saturday, a few people also came to help continue the painting and prep other walls for their turn at the paint. Keri put the first coat of bright red in the bathroom downstairs yesterday, which was fun (pictures to follow soon). Thanks to all who have helped us so far and please don't stop being friends with us just because you get e-mails every week asking for help! :)
Mike-you paint that harvest brown, boy!
Jackie and Gina sanding and taping

WOW! It looks so great! I know it is hard to do all that work...we did it in our house too! I know you have much more to paint than we did, but we know how it is! KEEP ON KEEPIN'ON! The finished product is so sweet! We love you guys and are praying for you in this "season of life" as you put it! :) Miss you both!
