One room down

So, I think to myself the other day.... why didn't I think farther ahead 7 years ago? I totally should have gotten married on July 7th. then this year our anniversary would have been 7 on 7-7-07. That would have to be some kind of good somethin!
Well, nonetheless, its 7 on 6-24-07.
So, here we are penniless and car-less and worn out. :) After church we literally sit around the house trying to come up with something somewhat special to do for our anniversary. Drive to Indy? to do what? go to a movie? we are not fond of the theatre - having NOTHING to do with why our parents dont like it. :) Abram's 6'5" frame gets uncomfortable reeeeal fast in theatres, airplanes, cars and anything else where freedom is restricted. So, long story short, Abram was actually looking to see what movies were playing and I was laying on the bed contemplating. We tend to pass birthdays and anniversaries with "we'll celebrate when we have some extra cash" Doggonit. where IS that extra cash?? So, as I'm laying there, looking at my bare naked walls... which have been so for a complete year now... it dawns on me. We talk about what we want to do with our house all the time, well, lets spend our anniversary making our house a little more our home. I jolt into the office with excited eyes... Lets Paint!! Abram imediately closes his computer and is ready to go. We have not eaten lunch and its getting late. So, I sent Abram out to get himself a quick meal and to purchase the paint while I get the bedroom cleared out. He is concerned that I should go along to participate in the choice. But I remind him of every single time we are in Room and Board or Ikea or such the like, we are constantly voicing what we want in our house. So, I have no reservations that he will come home with something I like. Off he goes and to work I go. Two long hours later he's back with three paint swatches. He's going to test me. I quickly discard the lighter version of the colour knowing that's not it. but stare a bit at the other two. I'm afraid I'll pick the wrong one. I hold up the colour of my choice and a strange look comes on Abram's face. I say, "its ok, I guess I like the other one too" he asks why I chose that one and after my explanation he smiles and says "good thing that's the one I bought then :)"
so, here are some pictures of our fun anniversary. Abram is the master cutter-in-er. so, I did laundry and other things while he meticulously cut the room in.
Clive found other things to do as well....








Then finally at 930pm we headed off to TGIFriday's for our dinner... we had coupon :)
