Update

Wow, it has been forever since I have blogged! Thank you all so much for the sweet & encouraging comments that were left on the news of us finally getting into our home. It has been an amazing process.
I have only a few pictures of the house to post since there is alot to be done & we have been so busy w/ the remodel on the church. There are some before and after pictures of the upstairs guest bathroom & one side of the kitchen/family room. It's hard to describe but the house inside needs a new paint job in EVERY room:) The house itself is in great condition, only problem is the paint. Our living room & dining room is painted a color I call "mud". Not only are the walls but the ceilings, we have a high cathedral ceilings in these rooms & they are painted w/ the "mud". It kind of feels like a cave...LoL.
So far I have painted half of the kitchen/family room, that use to be a "mustard" color, & again it was the ceiling & walls. So, I have a new white ceiling & 2 walls painted & have 3 more to go before that is completed.

Actually, I have completed only one room & that is the upstairs guest bathroom...LoL:) We have yet to really move in our furniture since everything needs to be painted, but this Wednesday & Thursday the whole downstairs will be completed & we can really start the process of moving in the furniture. So there is an update on the house situation.

As for the church, I will soon have pictures posted of the remodel that is going on. The last pictures I posted you could see all the sound boards & the ugly walls, but now we have textured walls & paint on them. This last Thursday we had an estimate done for the carpet & that will only take 7 days for the ordering & the laying of the carpet so it will finally look more completed. The chairs we have ordered will be arriving in 2 more weeks & we will be ready to have church in our new sanctuary! God has continued to pour out His Spirit on our services in such a beautiful way. One of the boys in Sunday School received the Holy Ghost last Sunday & we have had a steady stream of visitors. We give God all the Glory...Vacaville is in Revival!:)

Thanks for opening your home to us. Love your colors and the bath looks great. Don't work too hard! You two are very ambitious to take on two large projects at once. However, the great thing is that God is in both.
