Today was a day of coming together. The walls were primed and painted, the house cleaned. This home is now looking very much like a home- and I can’t wait for Colleen and her family to arrive.

 Our design team had lunch with Colleen this afternoon. They fell in love with her and keep assuring us that we will too. She has no idea what we are doing.

 The designers were out all day shopping for the rooms. From what I’ve heard one of Colleen’s daughters wants to be an oceanographer- so the team is trying to put together a colorful assortment of fish for her room.

 The other daughter is involved with the flag team at her high school, and she has a son as well.

 The team worked so fast today; I’m astonished. All we have left is carpet and furniture, and then with the personal touches, this house will be ready to be revealed!

 Just a few more days….
