Peter and Amanda arrive

Yes we now have our new house guests! They arrived Monday night about 9:30 p.m. We are also in the middle of changing all our bed rooms around. All because we are getting a new bed! You know one thing calls for another! We are redoing the office to be our room becaus it is the biggest.I scraped the wallpaper off and Greg Sherman is doing the painting. He does so well. The color is light tan with white trim.That way I can decide the accent colors later It will be so fun to have a new room!Love you all.
