The Gift

Monday is Chris and my 7th Catholic Wedding Anniversary (although we have been married officially for 11 1/2 years). As a gift to Chris, I hired a painter to paint our entry way.

Chris insisted he would do it. Without a fancy ladder, which I will get for the next gift, he could not paint our entryway easily. And, it would take him an entire weekend to do it, mostly alone.

I can see why people hire painters. It was so nice to hear the rollers moving and not be the one rolling. It was also nice to wake up, play with the kids, do some laundry, and have a painted room without lifting a brush. It is painted in Sherwin Williams Latte (the same color that we used in the family/living rooms and upstairs hallway).

It looks great! Chris was thrilled...mostly that he did not have to do it.

Now, let's hope we can celebrate this weekend without sneezing through everything...
